Well, she's famous now. That clip was on the front page of Youtube.


She's famous now because she is on the front page of You Tube?

How do you pretend to know anything about politics when you have never heard of Helen Thomas?

More to the point, how do you post a thread without having the intellectual curiosity to do a quick search to find some information on the person you are posting about?





A figure of speech.
I should have used those pesky "quotation marks."
In Boston/Irish if someone fucks up especially in politics it's, "well he's famous now!"
"Well she's "famous" now!"
See how quotation marks change a sentance? Oh, ...you don't do you?

There are a huge number of Lebanese who dispute being Arab at all.  The original people of Mt Lebanon were not Arab. 




But not her, SHE is a SELF identified Arab.

If you follow journalism and politics even slightly, its common knowledge, why so many's knee jerk reactions is to shield this is beyond me.



DarkSteven -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 3:28:47 PM)

FDD, you keep asserting that she's an Arab, without giving a source.  Let me do it for you: http://www.debbieschlussel.com/22855/frau-helen-thomas-wants-to-join-pat-buchanans-army-too/



Owner59 -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 3:29:14 PM)

No ones shielding anything.

Just taking accepting to your race baiting.

Can you tell us why this is important?



FatDomDaddy -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 3:51:22 PM)

Yes Owner, because telling Jews to get out of Israel and go home to Germany and Poland isn't race baiting at all. Not to mention the Israel bashing and US/Obama Admin. berating she gave Robert Gibbs that puts here "sincere" apology in question. She has a long history of being anti-Jew and anti Israel.


DS before someone tries to discredit Debbie Schussel blog I'll add this one: http://www.womensenews.org/story/journalist-the-month/030911/thomas-asks-questions-while-others-fear-tread

Though to be honest, I do not see why one is even needed. Again, she has always been a self identified Arab.



Owner59 -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 4:23:49 PM)

Don`t Jewish people also have the right to be outraged when their fellow Jews are being picked on unfairly?

Isn`t this outrage (and frustration) also available to Arabs or any other peoples pushed to the margins?




popeye1250 -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 4:28:51 PM)

And she's in the White House Press Corps. Michael Savage said she should be thrown out and have her pass confiscated.
It seems that Israel doesn't have *any* friends in the White House.



MrRodgers -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 4:41:17 PM)

Helen Thomas starting making her name at Presidential news conferences given by JFK.



FatDomDaddy -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 6:17:10 PM)

Nope???

Nope for what her book???

You know she's not President either right???



TheHeretic -> RE: Helen Thomas (6/5/2010 6:21:03 PM)

Mail, Fats.

Shoved down my throat? That's ridiculous. If it's not ridiculous it's funny. She looks Jewish, especially with that nose. But aside from that the DNA shows the Palestinians and the Jews are related to each other which makes them killing each other really stupid.

And one might wonder what point it might make to indicate her to be of Arab descent?





You have to look at how the conversation got here, LadyE. A certain notable voice of the left had to go bragging on how good his JewDAR was, and had it shoved back down his throat.

So she is a Christian Lebanese, most likely of Greek or Armenian Orthodox decent, especially with a given name like Helen.

But in the end, what does it matter? Her quote was taken out of context and unfortunately, she will be remembered for misspeaking rather than all her contributions to American political journalism.

I'm not sure when killing each other is terribly intelligent, DNA or not.

Please, tell me what, from the entirety of the post I snipped from, in any way would change the meaning of the precise quote as presented?

Don't think I won't roll my eyes at your again.
