MikesVikes Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Helen's been covering the White House since 1960. She's 89 years old, but is taking an early retirement. On a May 27 video, Thomas says Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine," suggesting they go to Germany, Poland or the U.S. link No more "Thank you Mr. President."

MikesVikes Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks. Didn't see that one. How could anyone not be a fan of hers? (at least before she said what she did?) I didn't know she was a controversial figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know she was a controversial figure. She's a crothchety old bitch with a serious supersized sense of self worth. Oooooo, she's been asking pointed, snarkey, questions to presidents since Grant, she's special, we must all bow down to her... and she expected it.

Scooby's Hubby Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) later with her, finally. actually, since she is so worried about natives, then why is she here in the first place? my mother's mother's mother (haha) was full blood Cherokee, this lady can take her own advice and get the F* out. According to her, I have the right to slap her and give her a ticket back to wherever she is genetically from. As a matter of fact, I think she owes us rent.

Avernus Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 after watching the video of what she said....I was wrong for saying what she said was out of place... I, for some reason imagined her saying this at some speech or something....she said it in front of a camera after being asked what she thought.... ...and she's right...but when you bash a group of people who are in a dominant role in this country...even though the comment doesn't pertain to them, but rather their people, then she is going to get pressure from all around to retire..

And who said all Jews are from Poland or Europe? that is either insane or extremely ignorant. Has she ever heard of Abraham? Moses? Where does she think the origins of Judaism occured? "Let my people go..." Parting the Red Sea, they didn't part the Danube or the Rhine, it was the Red Sea. Exodus. OMG how ignorant.

Don't think the circumstances of the interview really matter all that much but the interview actually was taking place with a rabbi at the white house.

SEC=UGA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 She was born in Kentucky. Raised in Detroit, Michigan. Her parents were from Lebanon. Helen Thomas' parents were from Lebanon? While it was under British rule? "Thomas" isn't exactly an Arabic name. Or, did the mooslims start going under cover YEARS ago for the eventual takeover of the US?

Or, did the mooslims start going under cover YEARS ago for the eventual takeover of the US? from wiki Thomas was born in Winchester, Kentucky.[4] Her parents, Mary (née Rowady) and George Thomas, were Lebanese immigrants from Tripoli, Lebanon;[5][6][7] her father's surname had originally been "Antonious" before being anglicized to Thomas at Ellis Island.[8] Thomas was raised as a Christian in the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch.[9] She grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and attended Wayne University (now Wayne State University), graduating with a bachelor's degree in English in 1942.[10] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC=UGA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 After Nesenoff posted the video online, Thomas apologized in a statement. “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians,” she said “They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon." It was not enough to quiet the uproar. Nesenoff is looking for something more personal. “She owes me an apology,” he says. “She owes my son an apology.” Evidently the guy wh asked the question is a real piece of work also....
