Helen Thomas tells Jews to go back to Germany

What are you talking about? Are we still butthurt that I wouldn't indulge your conversation about the Old Testament.

Hey hey hey.....let's concentrate on beating up the old hag. ;)

Great debate tactic. If you don't know the answer, any insult will do.

It's not a debate tactic since you weren't offering anything relevant to debate.

And if I ever insult you, you will know it.
 
That's fine. However, the Dead Sea scrolls do not have a bit of bearing on international law nor do they decide modern national borders. Bicycleman is still irrelevant.

I might be irrelevant, but the Old Testament has stood the test of time.
 
wow this is so sad, that everyone is taking this so hard..

I am an Israeli, and I am less bothered by her comments than an actual Neo-Nazis...i mean wtf is wrong with people these days.
the amount of bashing she got over a comment just shows how society is failing :roll:

good thing the president has some brains and didnt take her citizenship on the way of her losing just about everything :roll:

I actually feel bad for her..

and whoever made that cartoon is an idiot

I think the lesson from all this would be, don't wait too long to retire. Bow out while you're still in good shape. Don't wait until you're too old to keep yourself from making a total fool of yourself.

Part of living a life of grace and style is knowing when to let go...
Most of us don't harbor such horrible opinions so we don't have to worry about them slipping out. The ones who do have such feelings should be honest about it.

You mean by the famous jallman headache technique? :2razz:
 
But it has not stood the test of relevance in this thread.

You remind me of an old lady whose house is on fire, but if she keeps her back to the fire, she's okay because she doesn't see it.

Obama really thinks the same way she does, but can't speak his mind, other than talk about kicking someone's ass over the Gulf oil spill.

I'm surprised an Israeli would take this so lightly.
The "Dean of the White House Press Corps(e)", a raving anti-Semite.
Niiiiiiiiiice.

Her remarks were straight out of the Hezbo, Hamas, Islamic Jihad handbook.
She sounded like some guy and his looney toon friends back in 1933.
Hell, she sounds like I'minaJihad.

She used her free speech and got what she deserved.
People that employed her didn't want to be associated with that drivel.
I hope she enjoys retirement. I hear Hamas offered her an apartment on the strip.

Don't you think we may be over-reacting a little bit to this whole thing. She's an old woman and EVERYONE says things when they are angry. Hell I was in Beijing last year and I accused the ticket lady at the airport of being a "damned Chinese communist" straight to her face because of an argument over luggage fees and I was sick as hell of being in that country. It was extremely rude and out of order but I don't think anyone could reasonably accuse me of being a bigot or stereotyping all Chinese as communists or anything negative about myself other than I got too hot-headed.

I also find it funny that the same people who always tell minorities to shut up when they get offended by a white guys comment, are the same ones crying and bitching and moaning about what a 3000 year old senile woman said and using it to paint the entire left as a bunch of Anti-Semite pigs.... something is awry here ;)

She is a journalist. A supposed professional... "Dean of the WH Press Corps(e)", not some run of the mill individual trained in journalism working in Wallisa... like Palin for example.

HT revealed her heart.
It looked like she enjoyed getting it off her chest.
Age doesn't matter, except if she were young, she might have been able to salvage a career working in Debuke, Bellingham or Killadelphia.

No over reaction.

I'm very curious to know how you know that was what was really in her heart. Looked like she enjoyed it? How would you tell that, what method to you have for that because to me she always looks like a plastic figure melting in the sun. Haven't you ever felt good when releasing a bunch of anger any way you could? Personally I think she just got angry, hot headed, or just got stupid for a second. Everyone does it, so don't be so quick to cast the first stone.
 
Without knowing this lady to know if she's indeed an anti-Semite or has sympathies for neo-Nazis, I just want to say that her remark is definitely inappropriate. It's crossing a line, and that seems to happen more and more often these days in political discourse.

Especially when it comes to the thin line of criticism toward's Israel actions. I'm myself not sure what to think about this Gaza blockade thing (you hear so much wild statements about it from both sides, and it's very hard to know what exactly happened, and both sides are really worked up about it), but I think it should be possible that when someone decides to express criticism towards certain policies of Israel's government (which in itself is legitimate, after all, in a free country, nobody needs to agree with the government), to make sure the line to anti-Semitic remarks is not crossed, and that this criticism remains respectful.
 
Holy ****ing ****, seriously? People are all up in arms over this ****? OMFG! Someone actually has an opinion different than you do! Off with her head! She must be fired! This cannot be tolerated!!

Gimme a ****ing break.

Here's a clue, since it seems that a few people need one: Not everyone in the ****ing world agrees with how Israel was formed, or what it has done, or what they continue to do. Mkay? Get over it.

That and the fact that it's been said repeatedly by others, including myself, that if the Western world had so much guilt over what happened to the Jews that they felt the need to create a country for them, it makes more sense that they would have carved out a Rhode Island sized piece of Germany and handed it to them. :shrug:

You mean... instead of sticking them smack dab in the middle of their worst enemies? :lol:

Or creating a huge conflict over a piece of dirt that is called the holy land and has been the center of conflict through all of history? We might as well have put them in medieval tabards and announced the creation of Israel as The Zionist Crusade. How fun? We haven't had a crusade in a long time.
 
I might be irrelevant, but the Old Testament has stood the test of time.

Historical documents have no bearing on modern borders and claims to land. Unless you are suggesting the government should take your property and give it some native American tribe who claimed their ancestors once lived in that area. Maybe we should take chunks of Africa and give to to those who claim their ancestors once lived their or maybe we should pay reperations to the decendants of slaves?

She isn't just some random person. When the Dean of the White House press corp says something so hateful and bigoted, it's newsworthy.

It's not hateful and bigoted to think that a group of people should leave a piece of land they don't have a legitimate claim to. Not everyone thinks Israel should own that land. It was handed to them against the will of the people who already lived there.

Who appointed her as the dean of the white house press corps? I had no idea there was such a position. (Say Obama:sarcasticclap
