As the late, great Tony Snow once said to Helen Thomas: “Thank you for the Hezbollah view”.

Liberal apologists will excuse anything their side does, no matter how hateful and disgusting.

GOOD freaking GOSH! You're doing it again! The woman just stated that Jews should leave Israel and be dispersed across the world and you are talking about Neocons and crap.

You people freaking AMAZE me in how you try to divert and obfuscate any issue in which you are engaged.

Try, PLEASE TRY, and stay on topic.

I realize that's next to impossible for ya, but quit the bull**** and address the OP, PLEASE!

What I will always be eternally grateful to this woman for was having the guts to ask George W. Bush REAL questions.

Guess that was why Bush was too scared of her to call her name after he blurted out what his handlers told him to.
What's your opinion of her comments; y'know the actual topic at hand?

She has backed Gibbs into a corner more than once. You do know that he represents Obama, I hope.

I see that you don't hear many press conferences in the White House where Robert Gibbs does his lying.

Imagine if this had been a conservative; they'd already have been vilified and fired. Rightfully so.

Like the folks who often play the "race card", any criticism of Israel is always de facto "anti-semitism" to the reactionary types, even when the criticism comes from other Jews (because obviously only "self-haters" would dare to disagree)!

Throw in (moral) "superiority", "specialness" and a sense of "entitlement" ("it's Our Land" & God's Will), plus a total lack of empathy for the immense human suffering (on both sides), and sounds like you've got all the classic symptoms of clinical Narcissism.

Tragically (but ironically), it's also the same phenomenon that at one time, allowed the equally "special" German "master race" to lose touch with their own humanity.

Yeah, those damn Jews living in the land of milk and honey thinking they are all special and all. Can you imagine the nerve not wanting to get wiped off the map. Holy smokes, you should see the fuss they make when a few missiles get launched at them. Their moral superiority is always on display as they scrape their citzens off the pavement after suicide bombings.

They are clearly latent Nazis!
