Oh yeah, that's different......gotcha!
Surely you get whacked from the left handed clubs for saying this.

Do you remember when Ann Coulter took a clubbing from the left for calling the old lady an "Old Arab"? I had to agree with Coulter.

Actually Helen's unfortunate words were extremely clear and do not need to be twisted. Obama's birthplace is not so clear but is for another thread.

Also, people are forgetting that her comments about ethnically cleansing jews from israel took place 4 days before the Gaza Flottila thing, so anger at israel over that cannot even be used as an excuse. She simply wants to ethnically cleanse jews from the area.

No, I don't remember Ann Coulter saying that and I didn't know until this thread started that Helen Thomas' parents were from Lebanon. She certainly looks to be of a Semitic gene pool, now that I know her lineage but I had never thought of it before. Hmmmmm......maybe Helen Thomas should go back to Lebanon.

Interesting. I did not know this. Although there were few political issues I ever agreed with Helen Thomas over, I would have never accused her of being anti-Semitic. She has given us food for thought.

The fallout begins and I hope it continues for this hateful hag. She should be fired.

Under fire for controversial remarks she made (and apologized for) about the status of Jews in Israel, longtime White House scribe Helen Thomas was dropped on Sunday by her speaking agency.

Anyone her age should not be occupying a job that a younger America could do much better, especially during these jobless times.

It will only lead to more antisemitism... They will blame "the jews" for what happens to her.
