Helen Thomas Resigns

Helen Thomas resigned/retired after yesterday's blog was posted.

While I think Helen Thomas should be able to a bigot if she wants to, she did not belong as member of the White House press corps. It is a very selected and coveted position, and Americans deserve a more competent journalist than Thomas. I don't want to shut her up, she can run a blog, write for a publication etc., but an anti-semite does not belong as a member of White House press corps.

Good riddance. She was always overtly liberal in her questioning, and often completely off base. The only time she asked liberal leaders a tough question was when she thought the leadership wasn't being liberal enough.

Helen Thomas Should Be Fired

Anti-semite Helen Thomas must be fired.  This was no random outburst, she's always been an extreme leftist who's pro Hamas and a bigot.



From the Media Research Center:

Longtime White House correspondent Helen Thomas was captured on video telling an interviewer that Israeli Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home” to Germany and Poland. The May 27 exchange with Rabbi David Nesenoff was posted June 3 at RabbiLive.com and featured at the top of the Drudge Report on Friday and Saturday.

Thomas has not been shy about expressing her left-wing views and reliably anti-Israel opinions since she became a White House “columnist” in 2000, after a lengthy career as UPI’s straight news White House correspondent. “I censored myself for 50 years....Now I wake up and ask myself, ‘Who do I hate today?’” she boasted in 2002. But a review shows Thomas was expressing solidly liberal opinions even as a supposedly neutral reporter.
