Helen Thomas was dropped by her speakers’ agency on Sunday.Ms. Thomas’s comments were quickly condemned by former White House officials and the Anti-Defamation League. White House reporters said her front row seat in the White House press briefing room was unoccupied Monday morning.

On Monday morning the White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Ms. Thomas’s remarks “were offensive and reprehensible.”

In the video clip, which was filmed on May 27 during a Jewish Heritage Celebration at the White House, an interviewer for the Web site RabbiLive.com, Rabbi David F. Nesenoff, asked Ms. Thomas, “Any comments on Israel? We’re asking everybody today.” She quickly remarked, “Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.”

When the interviewer asked, “Where should they go?,” she asserted that they “go home” to Poland, Germany, the United States “and everywhere else.”

The video was posted to YouTube last week. RabbiLive says it will post a new statement about the video on Monday afternoon.

The video clip gained attention last Friday when the former Bush White House spokesman Ari Fleischer and others criticized Ms. Thomas’s comments.

lame, she should be able to speak her mind, she's ancient.

[namvet]

she should take a vacation to Germany and Poland.

close the books

[CSM]

lame, she should be able to speak her mind, she's ancient.

She did. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences when exercising that right.

[PostmodernProphet]

lame, she should be able to speak her mind, she's ancient.

alas, thus by the time you are able to speak your mind you no longer have one.....

[krisy]

Good riddance to her. She is a pain in the ass. She hated Republican presidents and did nothing to hide her bias.She is the opitimy(sp?) of bad journalism-constantly throwing her personal bias in.

Another good point brought up today by Karl Rove and Megan Kelly is that she became a columnist in 2000. She didn't belong in the WH press. That is NOT the place to give your OPINION. She has all the right to have one,but THAT is not the place. Reporters are not supposed to give opinion. Just report facts. If she were a commentator on CNN or MSNBC that would be different.

And they try and tell us there is NO left media bias.

Thomas was the perfect example.

Most of the Lamestream media has become our enemy folks. we have to find sources that aren't lefty-Liberal-commie biased and find out the truth.

Helen Thomas was nothing more than a hate mongering mouthpiece for the lowly liberal's leftwing propaganda machine.

She's an enemy of America that this nation is better off without...The only thing more repulsive than her ugly face was her evil heart.
