I just heard this on Michael Savage. Unbelievable.

She's 90, so she would have been 28 when Israel was founded and she should very well understand why it was founded.

In fairness to her, she may be having issues due to age.  If she had been so openly anti-Semitic previously, it would have caused consternation.  If she shows a sudden change at this point, there may be a physical reason.

I can't believe DarkSteven you have not heard of Helen Thomas - all years she has been covering the White House.

I think Helen Thomas is Jewish - she looks Jewish, I don't care what her name is.

According to Wikipedia, her parents were Lebanese immigrants to the U.S.

Dude, don't confuse anti-semitism with anti-zionism. That said, anti-zionism is pretty suspect in this world.

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?

I believe she is an American, unless Kentucky became part of the Arab League.

Classic!!! Classic!!

Like all good Republicans he is wating to be told what he needs to know. If Howie Carr doesn't feel that pops needs to know who Helen Thomas is then pops is happy to be in the dark.....

She's famous now? Good gosh. If Helen Thomas, one of the most important reporters in White House Press Corps of the 20th century, with everything she's accomplished in life, needs to wait until she is 90, make a social blunder and appear on YouTube to become famous, American society has their priorities even more wrong than I thought.

I just figured after everything that this brilliant woman has seen and heard, attempting to present objectivity for so long, she finally felt like she might say her piece. I'm not necessarily agreeing with her comment.

It is mine ;-)

Edited to add, that while I don't find that Helen Thomas' comments were in good taste, I didn't find them to be necessarily anti-Semitic either.
