Ubersturmbannführer Helen T. Himmler: Would President Obama Send Those Pesky Jews Back to the Ovens Already?

Helen Thomas serves as Godmother of the legacy media and is, by all appearances, the most distinguished member of the White House Press Corpse. An unabashed liberal, Thomas was frequently guilty of racist comments over her twelve decades of service. Her comments last week, however, were truly beyond the pale.

Interviewer: Any comments about Israel?

Thomas: Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.

Interviewer: Any other comments?

Thomas: Hahahahahahahaha. Remember. These people are occupied. And it's their land. It's not German. It's not Poland.

Interviewer: So where should they go? What should they do?

Thomas: Go home.

Interviewer: Where's home?

Thomas: Poland. Germany.

Interviewer: So the Jews should go back to Poland? And Germany?

Thomas: And America. And everywhere else.

Ubersturmbannführer Thomas went on to praise Holocaust: the Musical as a magical romp through history and a "must-see classic for the ages".

I'll give Helen Thomas the benefit of the doubt: she probably isn't a rabid anti-semitic racist, because that would be an insult to real rabid anti-semites. She's a stone-crazy nutbag that -- it appears -- serves as an éminence grise for much of the modern liberal media.

Had a conservative said something along these lines, The New York Times would have immediately begun running a 6-day, above-the-fold exposé culminating in a full Sunday section on racist Republicans.

As it is, Thomas' comments will be secretly high-fived in the high-falutin' Democrat fundraising circles populated with the likes of George Soros and Code Pink. You know, real Americans.

  3. How come nobody ever points out that Helen Thomas is the daughter of Lebanese immigrants? It certainly suggests the reason she's a Jew-hating Eugenicist anti-Semite.

    They ran Trent Lott out for obtuse comments to Strom Thurmond on his birthday. What! does political correctness apply only to Republicans? Pull her credentials and send her away from Washington branded as a hater, a bigot and a pariah.

    "her twelve decades of service"

    that's 12 times 10 or 120 years.

    Looks like a typo to me.

  7. > Interviewer: So the Jews should go back to Poland? And Germany?

    Thomas: And America. And everywhere else."

    I'm really really curious if she meant:

    "And to America. And to everywhere else."

    or

    "And from America. And from everywhere else."

  9. Back in 2006, Tony Snow "thanked" Helen Thomas for her Hezbollah viewpoint:

    I fully understand the desire to show a picture of Thomas next to Obama. He's got lots of guilt from other associations, though.
