Going out with a bang, not a whimper ....

"GET THE HELL OUT OF PALESTINE"

But she should not have apologized. For what, speaking her actual heart felt belief?

I will have to say that her suggesting that Israelis go to Germany, Poland or the U.S. may have been offensive to a great number of folks in those countries who wouldn't want them but that's no reason to get forced out of her job.


Seriously, there's no one to take her place. The White House press corp is a bunch of pre-approved, pre-paid whores. Without Helen all the fun has been taken out.


But here's proof that Helen was doing something right.

Abe Foxman wastes no time in spewing his hate speech against free speech.

"I think the response from the White House, the response from the WHCA, the response from good people everywhere, made it very clear she's a bigot and should no longer maintain a role as a journalist," Foxman said. "There was a permissiveness about the questions she asked. Nobody ever challenged her. She always colored the news -- she was always bigoted about Israel. This is better late than never, but it should have happened earlier."

"She got that seat because she was an icon, a trailblazer," Foxman said, "not because she was brilliant or an objective reporter. I'm glad she's gone, period. It will be better for everyone not to have a bigoted journalist sitting at press conferences asking the first question." 

Foxman pointed out that the esteem for Thomas among reporters is so high that the Society of Professional Journalists gives out a lifetime achievement award named after her -- she received the first one in 2000.

"It'll be interesting if they want to continue honoring her," Foxman said. {more}

Yeah Helen!

You are raised to another level when the most bigoted hate monger money whore agent for the criminal elements of Israel jumps for joy at your 'retirement.'

Write the book while you can, tell the truth and don't apologize for your words ever again .....
