Helen Thomas: Hey, sorry about that whole “Jews out of Palestine” thing (deeply regret comments)
Hotair ^ | 06/05/2010 | Allahpundit

It must be sincere. She’s never betrayed any anti-Israel sentiment before, has she?

Helen Thomas issued the following statement today: “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians. They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.”

I’m satisfied. Who among us hasn’t innocently stumbled into a statement of support for ethnic cleansing when we didn’t really mean it? In fact, that might explain Jake Knotts’s slur on Nikki Haley. He meant to say, “I welcome followers of the Sikh faith to South Carolina,” and it came out “f***ing raghead.” Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, my friends. (Just make sure to cast it at a Jew!)

Update: Read this for background. Especially the “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder” section.

I saw the video of Helen Thomas.

She is very, very clear and specific.

Did you read the sentence that follows that one? The sarcasm is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Even more to the point is that she said it to Jewish Rabbi w/ a couple of kids with him and they were wearing skull caps. This woman is a classic example of what is wrong with the MSM, one a word Bias.

These elitist’s are like the fat that rises to the surface when grease cools. They, like the fat, eventually show up and that will give us a chance to skim them off and away.

As soon as I can figure which end of a dog your face came out of, you’ll have my apology too, Helen. By the way, ever considered changing your last name to “Back”?

If she said all Afro-Americans should go back to Africa would she be on any payroll today?

She needs to join Yassir Arafat in dirt nap land.

Some organic masses are just too ugly to be classified as living.
