Sticks and Stones — the Follow-Up
Monday, 7 June 2010
So by now everyone has heard one of the following:
Helen Thomas RETIRING Effective Immediately
Columnist Thomas Quits as Remark Draws Flak
Helen Thomas Retires/Fired Over Anti-Semitic Remarks
However it all came down, Helen Thomas made some despicable comments and, whether by choice or by force, is now unemployed.
Which is just dandy because NOW the anti-Semites feel justified in their long-held belief that we control the press.
In the meantime, take a look at what Treppenwitz has to say. He makes some painful, and truthful, observations.

Am I naive to think that putting aside WHAT she said, the fact that she was a journalist on duty is what should get her fired? In that capacity, her personal thoughts and feelings on ANY subject should have been in check. She was at the White House coming from an event in her role as a journalist, not sitting at home as a private citizen having a conversation with someone.
And you’re right, this is just one more thing/person the anti-Semite/anti-Jewish/anti-Israel folks can hero-ize.
