Nine Speakers, the agency that represents Helen Thomas, has dropped her as a client, Politico reported Sunday afternoon. This comes in the wake of remarks made by Thomas that emerged last week in which she said that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine." Thomas, 89, made her shocking remark on May 27 during the Jewish Heritage Celebration at the White House. When asked by Rabbi David Nesenoff of RabbiLive.com if she had “any comments on Israel,” the Hearst Newspapers columnist put her foot in her mouth by stating, “Tell them to get the hell out of Palestine.” Thomas added that Palestinians “are occupied and it’s their land” and that Israelis should “go home” to Poland, Germany, America “and everywhere else.” The notice, obtained by Politico: “It is with a heavy heart that Nine Speakers, Inc. announces its resignation as the agent for Helen Thomas, Dean of the White House Press Corps. Ms. Thomas has had an esteemed career as a journalist, and she has been a trailblazer for women, helping others in her profession, and beyond. However, in light of recent events, Nine Speakers is no longer able to represent Ms. Thomas, nor can we condone her comments on the Middle East. Nine Speakers will continue to enthusiastically represent all of our other current and future clients.”

I thought Mike Rivero's comment interesting:
You think? You're being generous, OI. Perhaps the CommunityOrganizerInChief didn't dance, rather he didn't know.
You know that he well knows the answer to that question, by the way he danced around it. Because the moment he answers that question, aid to Izzy has to stop. Symington Amendment... www.historycommons.org/co...m=a0676symingtonamendment

Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest The video is actually old. The real issue is that Helen Thomas has twice asked direct questions in the White House Press Room that are VERBOTEN by das Israeligruppenfuhrer!
In his first Press conference as President, Helen asked Obama what nations in the middle east have nuclear weapons right now; a question Obama danced away from without asking. (I think he meant answering not asking.)
