"Personally, I am quite relieved there is no
one critical of administration or Israeli policy left in the WH press corpse. Not that there
is any difference. All those pesky questions about Afghanistan and Iraq and human rights
were kind of annoying and got into the way of more substantive stuff, such as questions
like this:
Q: Can you talk about the criticism
that the President isn't making that
emotional connection with people over the spill? Q: Does the White House believe that
it was a mistake for the President not to meet with
fishermen or other local business people during his last visit?
Q: Did anyone in the White House yell
at him {BP’s Hayward} for making those comments?
I think our democracy will be stronger
and more informed as a result of this. if only she'd had the common sense
to call them goat fucking child molesters."

"Helen Thomas told a rabbi that Jews should
"get the hell out of Palestine" and go back to Germany and Poland....'" -- Washington Whore Post, giving you an extra-flammable
half-quote, Link
I expect the WaHoPo to lie, but isn't anybody going to
get the quote right?
And what about her comments is "indefensible?"
Helen's parents are from Lebanon.
Maybe she didn't enjoy watching Israel do to her country what
we did to Iraq.
And if one has an opinion that Israel doesn't like,
to whom can they go for permission to speak that opinion?
It is unfortunate the Helen Thomas was forced
to retire after speaking her mind about Israel.
I happen to agree with her although I wouldn't
have worded it the way she did.
No religion should have a homeland.
Whenever there is a religious homeland it creates
a caste system where one group of people
are superior to all other religious groups. If
the Jews get one then it justifies the Muslims getting one,
then the Christians will want one, and eventually
the Church of Scientology will want their homeland.
In contrast, America is a secular nation where
all religions and non-religions are equal.
I also don't like censorship.
It seems that you can't say anything the criticizes
Israel or draw cartoons of Muhammad
without losing your job or your life. Helen is
a role model for me. Like Helen, I don't
accept this form of oppression and I will say
whatever I want about anyone I want.

"The other story here is Lanny Davis and Sarah
Palin's manufactured moral outrage. Lanny Davis was the guy who circulated
the Barack Obama is a Muslim e-mail. He'll do anything to get on TV.
Don't be surprised if he ends up in every episode of "The Real Housewives of D.C." The only
person more hypocritical is Sarah Palin who has no problem feigning offense
at any remark made by a Democrat but is silent when it comes to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn
Beck. Joan Rivers's face is more authentic than these two people's musings." -- David Hanel, Link

The media spin cycle will always change what their
latest pariah says,
that has replaced actual journalism from Helen's
heyday.
Rand Paul, the bigot who "says" he wants to end
the civil rights act is the previous example.
Of course he did not say that, but from the look
of all the cartoons, pundit outrage, et al everyone "knows" this to be
"true".
It is a sad sad day when the sole truth teller,
and hard questioner in the White House
press corp is sacked, and she is the latest target
for the official two minute hate.

We disagree on what Rand Paul said.
I believe the gist of his argument was
"The federal government has no business in
the civil rights movement."
I think he should be condemned for that because it appears that he's
looking for
an excuse to deny Black people the right to eat in restaurants and
sleep in hotels, etc..
Of course, he has the right to be as racist as he wants.

My big complaint is they cut off "or America"

Subject: Helen Thomas
Bart:
I do understand your reluctance to wade into the
emotions of the issue. I have enjoyed the discomfort
that Helen Thomas has inflicted on Presidents
from both parties by asking the questions that others won’t.
It is discomforting to me to see Ms. Thomas end
her career on this note (why couldn’t it have been Pat Buchanan?) .
I also appreciate that she did include the U.S.
in the listing of places where Jews should return. While Ms. Thomas
may have been advocating much the same resolution
of the territorial disputes as you have advocated, the critical
difference is that you have advocated this solution
because, as you have previously noted, you are unable to understand
or appreciate why anyone, despite their emotional/religious/historical
claims to a particular piece of real estate, would
want to put themselves in a situation where all
those around them wanted them to die (or to disappear, at the very
least),
and not because you have repeatedly denied that
a legitimate claim to that real estate exists.

PS. Helen Thomas is Lebanese – American (born
in Kentucky to George & Mary Thomas, immigrants from
Tripoli, Lebanon), and she may have been reflecting
her opinion and sympathies from that perspective.
"I am opposed to the government telling restaurant
owners that they cannot allow smoking in their establishments. I believe
we as consumers can choose whether to patronize a smoke-filled restaurant or do business
with a smoke-free option. This overreach is now extending to mandates about fat and
calorie counts in menus. Do we really need the government managing all of these decisions
for us?" -- Rand Paul, Link
Rand, do you know why Christopher Reeve's kids are being raised
by neighbors?
It's because Chris's non-smoking wife got lung cancer from singing
in smokey nightclubs.
And what about a poor waitress who may not have a choice but
to work
in a smokey nightclub which could potentially make her kids
orphans?
Where does this "I hate government" crap end - anywhere?
Does the government have a right to set speed limits?
What if Rand Paul wants to drive 100 MPH in a school zone?

"Rand Paul is against smoking bans in restaurants,
against mandating that restaurants list calorie and fat contents in their prodcuts,
and against slavery. Imagine that! It takes really bravery for a Republican in 2010 to be firmly against
slavery! Yes, Rand Paul is a DOCTOR who is pro smoking and pro fatty, high calorie foods.

"Obama forgets that being a great professor
isn't the same as being a great communicator. The inspirational figure of the campaign
is under the delusion that he will be cheapening himself and the office if he uses memorable
soundbites in the theater of the presidency. For all his study of history, Obama somehow has failed
to notice that Lincoln's 'house divided' and FDR's 'fear itself' were, well, soundbites." -- Jonathan Alter, Link
I watched the Belmont Stakes last Saturday.
It seems that Sarah Palin was there because some
guy named his horse First Dude
because of Todd (turns out the dam was named
Run Sarah Run but it was just one of
the freaky things that happen in life).
I wondered why they didn't have an interview with
Her Highness, then this morning I read mudflats
.
According to Sarah her limo driver got lost driving
8 miles from JFK to the track.
As mudflats says, "Palin’s driver got lost for
over an hour on the way from JFK airport to Belmont Park.
That’s why she had no time to change her clothes
from the white t-shirt, capri pant, baseball cap ensemble
to something more appropriate for the “much more
formal than that” Belmont Stakes.
"Got any meth
we can borrow?"
First, a limo driver in New York getting lost?
Don’t they know the place like the back of their
hand (or their palm?)
And don’t they have those little gizmos that
tell them exactly where to go?
And wouldn’t you think that if you’re a VIP limo
company sending someone
to pick up Sarah Palin you’re going to send a
veteran professional and not
some newbie who has no idea where he’s going?"
Sarah thought one of the biggest horse races of
the year
was sort of like going to the Salmon Derby in
Wasilla. ha ha Eric X

Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware were
all slave states, but did not secede.
In "Bloody Kansas" was because of slavery.
Kansas was a free state, and some of the residents
would sneak over the border into Missouri and
steal (they called it "hawking") slaves, take them
to Kansas and set them free.
Slaves in that area were called "jays", so Kansas
became the Jayhawk state.

"Predictably, Obama is doing everything he
can to shield BP from popular outrage. Obama has signaled very clearly that there will
be no end to deep sea offshore drilling. One of Obama's few differences with John McCain was that
he would allegedly not allow offshore drilling. Few things underscore the lack of real democracy
in the United States than Obama's forging full speed ahead with more deep sea offshore drilling.
In light of popular rage, Barack Obama has slowed not one iota. BP is going to turn a profit off of
the act of destroying the Gulf of Mexico. Capitalism rules." -- Nick Pell
