It's on a par with the stupid remarks she made last week that led to her retirement from the White House press corps.

Well, I look at it this way...She is a Fabian Socialist...(look that up if you're not sure what that is)
She is similar to Benard Shaw (author), in that she, and those like her believe that sustained life is only valid if you are valuable to the collective...If you are not, they would prefer a system/mechanism where you, if it is determined by a "board" that you are not living up to their expectations you WILL be terminated...
So, it is obvious that she is not for the means, for anyone choosing to live free from tyrranical devices, as these people represent, to the right to keep and bear arms...
Therefore, if it ever comes to a point where we are definitively challenged on that issue, I suppose she would be amoung those who would bear the brunt of our protest...
Personally, I believe it really is a shame that there are people living amoung us who believe "we" are somehow, unfair, and hateful people to desire to be armed, and that they would do what they could to change that fact...
She deserves pity, more than scorn or action against, in my opinion...But what makes her dangerous is that she does wielda lot of influence (even now after her dissmissal from the WH press corp) in what is left of the state-run liberal main stream media...
We should never assume, nor should we lower our guard...

The old bat is 90 years old, an Arab sympathizer and far left PIA. I think "retire" is a nice way of putting her long overdue ouster.
Other than that, she was okay.

I don't think she deserves pity at all but to be exposed for the hate-filled bigot she is.

The only thing I can find wrong with Ms. Thomas' firing, or retirement, is that it should have happened years ago!

Her retirement home in Paris has a nice view of the Eiffel tower.

Glad to see her go.

She was also praised as "courageous, bold, honest" by Hezbollah.
She is a very old lady that may have lost touch with what year it is. Her speech sounded like she was fresh off the streets after the Brady shooting. Nothing new, same old drivel.

Helen Thomas was born to Lebanese immigrant parents whose last name of "Antonious" was anglicized to "Thomas" when they passed through Ellis Island. She was raised in the Greek Orthodox Church.
Here are her comments which led to her ("strongly suggested") retirement from Hearst Newspapers:
[youtube][/youtube]
She is a bigoted Jew-hater. She spoke these words to a Rabbi who interviewed her outside the White House Jewish Heritage Celebration on May 27, 2010. She was fully cognizant that the interviewer is a Rabbi, so the opinion expressed in this video is absolutely her own.
So now the Brady Bunch are lionizing her because they automatically latch onto corrupt thinking. It's in their (broken) moral compass. They can't help themselves. Thomas's moral compass is equally broken, therefore, they are kindred spirits.

No matter what she has done in her career she will always be remembered by the close up of her ugly face and the statement she made that day.

Actually she has made a number of idiotic statements. I mostly remember her as a useful idiot... ...who happens to look like a magpie.
