Helen Thomas to Gibbs "Why didn't you immediately jump to conclusions" (Flotilla)
YouTube ^ | June 1, 2010

Posted on 06/02/2010 5:59:27 AM PDT by Pinkbell

Transcript:

Thomas: “The initial reaction to the flotilla massacre, deliberate massacre, an international crime, was pitiful. What do you mean you regret something that should be so strongly condemned, and if any other nation in the world had done it, we would have been up in arms? What is this sacrosanct ironclad relationship where a country that deliberately kills people and boycotts every aid.. and abet the boycott?”

Gibbs: Well, Look I think the initial reaction regretted the loss of life as we tried and as we still continue to gather the relevant. ..

Thomas: Regret won’t bring them back.

Gibbs: Nothing can bring them back Helen, because I think if you could that wouldn’t be up for debate. We are.. we believe that a credible and transparent investigation has to look into the facts and we’re open to international participation in that investigation.

Thomas: Why did you think of that so late, why didn’t you initially condemn it?

Gibbs: Why didn’t we think of?

Thomas: Why didn’t you initially condemn it?

Gibbs: Again, I think the statements that we initially released speak directly to that.

From that angle, I just realized that if you put Helen Thomas in a black robe, she would look just like the Emperor from Star Wars.

Helen Thomas - Proof of the cliche' "only the good die young."

Bitterness and venom keep her around.

Isn't "Helen Thomas" the superlative form of barf?

barf, barfier or very barfy, Helen Thomas

deliberate massacre, an international crime,

Gee Hell en, one would think after 89 years you would have a much firmer grasp on truth and reality.

In five words, you manage to encapsulate two lies, without one ounce of proof for either.

Do you have an agenda, or are you just a very old Jew hater, who chooses to ignore history.

Let’s find out who the nine killed are. They might show up on an Al Queda roster. The only reason to attack the IDF is to achieve martyrdom.

Yes, but the MSM does not care about facts. They WANTED Obama to jump to conclusions and lash out at Israel immediately.

The old hag is not only a leftist scoundrel but a thorough anti-Semite. Which means Big Media will probably give her some kind of humanitarian award very shortly.

Wow .. Helen righteously sticks it to Gibbs and zero and all people can do is comment on her looks and age.

What will it take?

A 'postal' reporter at the presser?
