Goodbye Helen – Good Riddance
Helen Thomas has turned in her resignation to Hearst Newspapers. Her big opinionated mouth got her in trouble when she suggested that the Jews do not belong in Israel and should get out. Where to, she was asked. She said back to Germany, Poland and the United States.
The comment even disturbed the White House. The White House propaganda minister, Robert Gbbs, even said, “Those remarks are offensive and reprehensible.” As well as, “Those remarks certainly don’t reflect the opinion of folks here or the administration.”
Thomas is an unapologetic liberal. It’s damn good to see her go.
I will say that she had every right to say what she wanted to. She’s not a reporter BTW. She’s a columnist. She writes her opinions. Why she was allowed to sit on the front row at White Press briefings is beyond me. I don’t care about her opinions on Israel. But isn’t it great we live in a country that can express them? Of course, maybe the PC crowd on the left could only take so much of her opinion on the matter and had to let her go. Maybe she is seen as too close to the White House to allow those statements to go unchecked. I dunno. I’m just glad she’s finally done.
