View Full Version : Helen Thomas,journalist,1920-2013
Steve_uk 07-20-2013, 12:09 PM She was famous for asking the difficult questions at White House press conferences over six decades,where she would sit on the front row and hold the executive to account in what must have been a modern spin doctor's nightmare. She went well beyond the views of some of us who want rights for the Palestinians as well as the guarantee of Israeli security,and would not baulk at exposing the contradictions of government policy of which her questions often exposed the hypocrisy. She fought for women's rights and was a force to be reckoned with,albeit a controversial one.http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/helen-thomas-feisty-scourge-of-presidents-dies-at-92/2013/07/20/82285f4e-f145-11e2-a1f9-ea873b7e0424_story_3.html

Go to hell you incompetent, ugly, hate-filled, Anti-Semitc, piece of garbage.
Tweety 07-21-2013, 06:47 PM It's not as though they're making up lies about her. She was an anti Semite. And I've seen pictures of her with JFK, at least 50 years ago... she was a beast even back then.
Besides, I personally don't say stuff about celebrities after they die that I didn't say when they were alive. It's not like I wait until they die and then start criticizing them.
So what's the toughest question she ever asked Barack Obama?
Tweety 07-21-2013, 09:31 PM Oh man, when I saw this Helen Thomas vs. Barack Obama video, for a minute I thought I was watching Ali-Frazier IV or something... I mean, they just went toe to toe and held nothing back, they left it all out in the ring...

Steve_uk 07-22-2013, 04:34 AM If Obama can't answer the above question honestly with a one word answer "Israel" then I fear former President Jimmy Carter's comments about the state of democracy in the West to be true.http://rt.com/usa/carter-comment-nsa-snowden-261/
Steve_uk 07-22-2013, 05:20 AM She may have ended up a politically-incorrect old hag,but then that's what democracy is all about..http://youtu.be/UQ01YI8aN5A

She didn't end up as an old hag. She was an old hag even when she was young.

She hates Israel. We already knew that.
