Your damn right Helen Thomas should be fired for making this kind of remark:
Telling the Jews to get the hell out of palestine? Any other reporter would have been let go 5 minutes after the news hit but not this worthless lady.
Ari Fleischer said she should be fired:
But even as she was trying to walk back the remarks, calls for her firing mounted. Among the more vocal was former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who claimed to have a close relationship with Thomas when he was manning the daily briefings.
“She should lose her job over this,” Fleischer said in an email. “As someone who is Jewish, and as someone who worked with her and used to like her, I find this appalling.”
“She is advocating religious cleansing. How can Hearst stand by her? If a journalist, or a columnist, said the same thing about blacks or Hispanics, they would already have lost their jobs.”
Lets ask a hypothetical. If she said that all blacks should just go back to Africa….would she get a pass?
I’m thinking not.
So why should she here?
Helen Thomas has been a national joke for years, at least since Tony Snow thanked her once for providing the “Hezbollah view” in the daily briefings, but people rolled their eyes at her cranky, off-topic commentary for years before that. Stein says that her more “filtered” questions — really just rants about Israel dressed up as Jeopardy-style answers in question form — were popular with some of the “political and foreign policy observers” (presumably, Stein means in the press corps). Yeah, I’ll bet.
National joke is right but this also gives me an excuse to dust off my Helen Thomas vs. Tony Snow videos for you to enjoy.
In this one you will hear her chime in and Tony Snow basically tell her to be quiet:
This one needs no introduction:
Here is Dana Perino having to explain the world to a woman:
And one of my favorites and the one in which he thanks her for her Hezbollah view:
All these are funny and show her for the ignorant fool she is but this latest one should be last nail in the coffin.
Liberal Jews are fools; might as well hop in the oven.
What a moron. It inconceivable that anyone would stand by this behavior.
Time to retire, Helen.
It is inevitable that the true hateful, racist, and ignorant worldviews of the left eventually shines through the veneer they cloak themselves in, while mis-directing the masses into believing that it is the Conservative who “hates”.
What to do with her?
Tattoo her social security number on her left forearm, dress her in a blue and white smock, and confine her to a 5′ X 5′ X 5′ wooden box. Give her nothing but maggot-infested oatmeal, and fetid water until she dies in her own pile of feces.
Leave her body in there, and then put George Soros in the box with her decaying corpse.
Place the box in the lobby of the Democrat national headquarters.
Leftists…
You would think that killing 200 million in 100 years would have been enough for them.
-You should hear how I really feel.
*spits*
@ Patvann, Amen. I have visited Auschwitz and Dachau many moons ago.
I have seen mass graves in the Bosnia/Herzegovina and Iraq as well.
Helen Thomas is a disgrace and not a journo, just another demented Newsie.
The WH Press Corps is nothing to be proud of but supports the Current incompetent
Affirmative Action Hire Regime that can neither think or shoot straight or tell the truth
on their best day.
PS, give your son my warmest regards. We think and shoot straight here. He is in good hands
in the Stans. Not to worry Pardner!
WAIT!!!
She never said this…
If she did, it would be on the front-page on the CNN site, right?
It isn’t mentioned at all anywhere. But they’ll get the vapors if you call them a mouthpiece for the left.
HELENS THOMAS: is a very sick person, i notice her before,and that’s where we all can make the diff erence between sick brains and sound brains free speech.
Tragically, she’s frankly no more anti-Jew than MOST liberal AMERICAN JEWS!!
Sad truth is I am more pro-Israel than most of the Jews in my own country. In some regards, I am more pro-Israel than I am pro-USA.
I have this manual, ya see, that I believe tells me how it all comes out in the end.
Didn’t Bush put her in the back of the press room when he was Pres? By the way she will be a hero to this evil bunch.. The times have been a changin’ Up is down, down is up. Pray! IMHO!
I checked CNN, Newsweek and the New York Times. Nothing yet.
@ Atti.
DON’T go see Huffington…hundreds of self-hating M-Fer’s actually wondering what the fuss is all about.
-BBC hasn’t bothered either, but the English have a vivid history of hating Jews, too.
Anyone wanna take bets that she will STAY employed as well as retaining her prime spot in the White House press room?
She’s now a hero to the 21st century Nazi’s. Otherwise known as Progressives. A repeat of the early 20th century version.
Fired? Ok……..that’s funny!! Y’all have a great sense of humor. She’ll probably be up for a Pulitzer for her remarks and when (if) she finally croaks, they’ll have her stuffed and a tape machine installed so they can prop her up in her old spot in the press room and play her recorded rants/questions/comments ad nauseum. She’s an “icon”……..remember?
There is no price to be paid or accountability for anything if you’re on the left.
WOW!! How easily so many are willing to give up freedom of speech just because another person disagrees with their own thoughts.
I don’t agree on what she said, but good lord, do you want to be fired by someone at your office just because you say something they don’t like. Some people just don’t think past their nose…..or even think at all.
Silvermoon: A mentally retarded fascist, who knows nothing of the First Amendment.
-As well as an asshole who is such coward, he will never be back to defend his position.
Hey dipshit. I’ll fight and die for her Right to be an antisemetic bitch.
So during your next company meeting, I want you to stand up (while utilizing your 1st amendment right) tell the gathered group that you think the CEO’s wife is a hooker.
I’ll defend your right to say it, then I’ll defend the CEO’s right to fire your stupid ass.
Oh wait…you’re a coward.
@Silvertwit
In other words (try to keep up, here.)
She has the right to say it.
She has NO right to be PAID for saying it.
See the difference? Need me to explain how to breath for you?
SilverMoon
I am all for free speech. She has every right to say anything she wants. However, had a conservative reporter said something like that, it would immediately be labeled “Hate Speech” and that reporter would no longer be PC. How come She isn’t? Simple: She’s one of them…a good
liberal.
I have to agree with Patvann, How come none of the “liberal” sites mentioned never ran the story?
It all stinks!
@Jackson51, your comments took me immediately to “Anyone Can Whistle”.

Obviously Helen is speaking for the Jews that voted for Obama. You still find Jews with undying love and support for The One as he sells them out for his 72 Virgins.
First, I believe she should be fired. She should be reporting the news, not making it, and or making it up.
Second, I read the Jewish community is in complete disagreement with barack, barry, steve or whatever his name is and are appalled at his view of Israel and the palentinians. However, what I really don’t understand is that over 78%+ of the Jewish population helped to vote this guy in. I am not Jewish, but it didn’t take a rocket scientist during the campaign to figure out he was pro-palestinian. So, these Jewish people that campaigned for this man, shouted and revered this man, and voted for this man have only themselves to blame.
Back to Helen. It is obvious where her views lie, even years prior. The time to fire her is overdue.
There has been a complete change of the front page at CNN.com and MSNBC.com since my last post and still not a word. It is now 6PM.
I am truly stunned by these liberals. I always thought they were nasty and misguided, but now you can include evil. If this had been Elizabeth Hasselback or, God forbid, Sean…..whoa!
Up@UpChuck.Liberals: UpChuck, I know, I know (as Sybil Fawlty would say). I have a high school classmate, a Jew now living in Brooklyn, well off, very well off, and she is always sending me emails looking for approval of The Fraud’s progams. WTF is that?
She, however, forbids me to send emails that attack the POS. Liberals sometimes act like fascists. I mean, dare I say, like someone out of the Ministry of Information and Propaganda of the last Reich.
This is how many liberals feel about Jews.
She’s just stating the opinion of the administration. If she is fired, then the administration should be fired too, which will happen at the next election. She will probably be appointed to a spot in the administration. She’s definitely qualified.
Hey RAPH, I thought she was already a stuffed buzzard with an MP-3 player installed. She has never parrotted anything original in decades.
Silvermoon. Big Clue on the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law infringing…” Helen Thomas is an employee of a publically held company and she was cawing inside the Executive Branch. First Amendment has nothing to do with it.
She need not be fired. Her employer can keep her on.
If her employer wants to be known as the kind of news organization which employs her.
Helen needs to get sent to the psycho ward. She’s clearly lost it. If they keep her in the pool, then she will slowly and embarrassingly spiral into insanity before the public eye. Not the way to go for anyone.
She spoke what she thought, though many found it distasteful. I think she’s somewhat demented. The first thing that goes are the inhibitions that might make you stop and think, “This is not going to play out well.” She isn’t so far gone she can’t rethink, but come on, she’s 90 and she isn’t going to change. And if she is demented, she will get much worse. And having gotten to this ripe age she is going to resist mightily any effort to make her retire.
Thomas should be labeled “It’s Alive — The Face of Antisemitism and Fascism” and put on permanent display at the Holocaust Museum in D.C. Better yet, while she’s sending all the Jews back to Germany and Poland, maybe SHE could hightail it back to Syria.
It’s now past 8 f(*^&&ING oclock and still no sign of Helen on the CNN front page!! What a litmus test this is for disingenuous, coc)%$$ing, m-F-ers!! CNN you qualify!! I’m too tired to look at the other sites and I’m off to bed. I am so efffffing embarrassed for my country. If I had a 2×4 with splinters and pointy things coming out of it, I would jam it up Jeffreyt IMMelt’s sunshine-less hole, rip it loose, and then start a journey for the search of sinister Soros, and then
the most disgusting of all, Keith Olberman.
On a side note, and slightly off topic but truly interesting…. there’s a “he said, she said” battle going on that Obama’s WH told BeBe “not to come” for his scheduled visit. Can’t have the big zero being seen with such a nefarious character while under more heated assault than usual.
Our western media is dodging this story with a ten foot pole too. Moral of the story? Hating Israel is all the PC fashion rage. And Helen Thomas has a temporary occupant in the WH that apparently feels the same as she does. I’m betting he doesn’t get fired early either.
Someday, and I do mean ‘someday’, we’ll hear Larry King say, “Well, you know, Helen is getting up there in age and we should take that into account.” Nice.
Now, correct me if im wrong, Thomas is her married name. Isn’t she Lebanese? And if that is the case, big surprise cause that would make her Arab.
Yup wiki confirmed shes Lebanese.
CUSS: you nailed her; of course she hate ISRAEL; they learn that hate when they are still in the womb; and she, at her age, is the proof of what hate does to your brain,all through the days of life: bye thank’s for checking that source.
@Cuss: You’re right. Her parents were immigrants from Lebanon. Many Lebanese remember the days when they were prosperous, and they would like to have control of their country again. But Thomas likes to lick the boot that kicks her. She appears to have more in common with Syria and Assad than her own people — like Vichy France and the SS.
Suppose she had said, “Send the Negros back to Africa?”
VA Voter, that would have been interesting. Very interesting.
New front page at CNN site. Picture of pitcher who missed perfect game by a bad call on last batter. Nothing on Thomas. Hmmm, Danny Thomas was Lebanese too. I wonder if that’s a common name for the L’ebs.
She issued an, “apology” over her comments but frankly her body langauge during press events and her constant ignorance over Israel’s laws and the threats they are forced to deal with daily should be grounds alone for her White House press corp status revoked and allow someone new out of college to replace her…
I think I deserve a cookie for that one. Better investigative reporting then most news stations.
All I’m going to come in here and say is this: That is ONE UGLY-@$$ freeze frame on that video!
Can someone please tell her enough with the clown lipstick?
Helen Thomas passed her prime a few decades ago. What the hell keeps this assclown going at her age? I agree with Patvann’s assessment: she has a right to say whatever the hell she wants, but doesn’t have the right to be paid for it.
@Wordsmith: “Helen, enough with that clown lipstick.”
@Mata
I can’t get that sentence out of my head.
In all of history, I can’t recall a time when AMERICAN’S were afraid of anything, let alone hesitant of standing up for the right to NOT be eliminated from the planet.
Scared the Americans. Scared the Americans. Scared the Americans.
A potential visit scared the Americans.
@Patvann:
I have to take exception to the quote “scared the Americans”.
REAL Americans aren’t scared of much of anything, as history has proven.
The “american” that currently resides in the public housing in Washington D.C. known as the Whitehouse probably WAS frightened to death.
Goddamned lightweight
(spit)
@Anna Puma:
Anna, she appears to be in the first stages of dementia or Alzheimers. Doesn’t have a clue what she’s saying until it falls out of her mouth. But then, that seems to be the affliction of most on the left. Difference being; they’re never held accountable.
But let a conservative support a state legislature and governor for attempting to protect their LEGAL citizens and all Hell breaks loose.
BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!
CUSS: hi, yes you deserve a cookie; i’ll give you the whole COOKIES JAR that you desrve. bye
PATVANN : i had the same question, and i thought, why would the AMERICANS be scare of seeing BEBE WITH the PRESIDENT, they used the people for excuse. they cant say the real reason, that “O” did not want to see “B”,in order to not look bad on the eyes of his friends who master that event. bye
RIDE A PALE HORSE: hi, you saw it too,and where right on. bye
This old hag should be thrown out of the country. She is nothing but a mouthpiece for liberals. They are getting desparate and want Nobama out of the news. Clinton(Hillary) made a major gaffe recently. Not in the news. Where was Helen and her ugly assed commentary then?
DISENCHANTED: hi, I wonder if the MAYOR and the jewish community in NEWYORK regret their approval to RAUF and friends on building their MOSQUE: today, best thought goes to
PAMELA GELLER,and all who will participated in the rally for support of the ones who lost their love one,and the NEWYORKERS who disagree with that. bye
@ Cuss
Married? Really? I didn’t know Quasimodo’s last name was Thomas.
The agency that represents her, just dropped her sorry ass:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/onmedia/0610/Thomas_gets_dropped_by_agency.html
Just read that, Patvann. But then, she has pretty much reached the end of her “productive” contribution, eh? i.e. on O’healthcare, she’d be triaged down to the bottom of the list. LOL
I never thought I’d see such a good argument for rationing of health care.
Good news!
Helen Thomas has officially retired!
Ron H.
Without the voice of Helen Thomas there will be a 100% unanimity on all Israeli questions.
America–do as you are ordered by Zion!!!!!
DR CHARLES G HABERI: hi, we can trust ISRAEL, more than many. bye
Helen now suffers the fate worse than death. Once a figurehead setting in the front row. Left there to ask the question of the hour . . . to make the nerve tingling comment . . . to create the shadenfreude moment . . . now a sacrifice to the obmanation.
Do I express my sympathy for Helen? Yes I do. For in her sacrifice comes nothing gained. A lady who has sat in the presence of so many of our presidents . . . is now sacrificed to the Political Correct media. Given no chance to explain . . . for no explanation would be accepted. Ah, the justice of the word mispoken.
So say goodbye to Helen
a historian of times
for in these times of panic
truth is only lies
Goodbye Helen . . . May Blessings be with you.
TALLGRASS: hi, LONG time no read your comment: IS it true that human are always responsible for what they say: THE “WORDS”, are so important to the success or the shame of human been:
we choose between love and hate as we growing older. AND we pay the price at the end, always. I hope all is well for you. bye
This is going to be bad… The media is already trying to turn Israel into villains. Lets face it, for some reason or another most of the world seems to dislike Jewish ppl. No one really messed with Israel for 2 reasons, 1) There take no shit attitude and yet have willingness to talk. 2) America was always standing right behind her keeping the wolves at bay. This is bad cause as you can see the world is practically descending on Israel. Suddenly ppl are speaking up for the rights of Palestine. You have got to be kidding me. All i know (and all i need to know here) is that if Palestine put there guns down, Israel would too.. But, if Israel put them down the Palestinians would kill them all. Thats all i need to know. They couldnt even keep the hold fire for a day. This is gonna get bad.
Obama, Helen Thomas, the American ppl… who next…
CUSS: hi, CANADA has their back and they wont change either, the trouble makers have been uncovered, if any want to support them they will eventualy learn a bad lesson, and pay the price. bye
Ignorant goes a long way with fools…REPARATION FOR ALL JEWS.
