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.”

No, it is absurd to see any evidence that a zionist POV pervades the media in the United States.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" D@mn, why are you posting Halloween pictures?
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Another dagger in the heart of free speech - aren't you proud! Israel is the septic tank of the world! It is where you belong! p.s. "Anti-Jewish" - I like that term - it rings true!
A Nobel departure. She has moved up in my estimation.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" The line is being drawn, for what I'm not sure, but the sides are forming up.
She'll be back at the WH soon, after appearing on Larry King and Keif Overdose. She isn't going anywhere.
Can you imagine the uproar and calls for heads to roll if that had been a white reporter saying that blacks should go back to Africa (for example)?

When mainstream Journalists, such as Helen Thomas, begin to speak truthfully about Israel and their ongoing genocidal behavior it is a ray of sunshine. The wall is forming fissures and Israel's back is against it. Soon the wall will tumble. Like a player raising "all-in" on a "busted Flush" being shown Four of a Kind Israel has overplayed their hand. This time they can bluster and caterwaul all they wish - the good will has been used up and fear can no longer overcome the revulsion (except in the U.S. Congress which does what they are told "or else") created by their criminal behavior.

She didn't say anything about the Jews. She only mentioned Israel. True, but in the Zionist Lexicon if you criticize the behavior of the Secular Zionist Apartheid State it's "jus' cuz' ya' hate Joooooooos". It doesn't have to be true, in their warped world, it just has to be effective as a smear.

Helen Thomas, the print media's own Aunt Bethany
I'm just so weary of one slc throwing the entire world into perpetual war, and of our being their enabling bitch to bring it into action. Supporting that suppurating a$$hole of a country is killing us in many more ways than one.
Actually she never said the words "Israel" OR "Jews". The first question was about Israel, the second was about Jews. She did say "Palestine" however. She wants Hamas to go back to Poland?
God bless Aunt Beth. She made her bones long ago, and she's been around forever. There ain't much they can do to her, is there? (Short of the Mossad heave-ho & I don't think they'll go there in this case.)
Expropriate British Petroleum.
I think the context and intent are clear given the question.

She's a loose canon alright. So is Les Kinsolvang. Real reporters like that are a dying breed. Who will ask the tough questions when they're gone?
None of the current "blow-dry" sheep of which I am aware.

I read somewhere that Helen Thomas said Obama was not a leftist, that she was further to the left than he is. And people call her a reporter.

This whole thing is good, but listen to 6:32 and on...
Helen Thomas for President! This ad endorsed by wudidiz.
Helen is dead-on correct here. zero is a nwo lackey and tool. Pull the strings, and he'll dance for you.
7:02 "If you take a vote in congress, maybe you might get 5 people vote against any further aid to Israel as it continues it's occupation, but that's about it. They control.... they have Vast power." "Who?" "The Zionists."
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

Perhaps the CommunityOrganizerInChief didn't dance, rather he didn't know. I think randge nailed it. The moment Israel, a non-signer on the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, admits they have nuclear weapons, or the U.S. is forced to acknowledge it, then all military aid to Israel becomes illegal. At present time the fiction is maintained, officially, that the U.S. is not aware of any nuclear weapons.

Oh, it is true, but the Feral Government, under Israeli control, will not admit they know.

Quote from the video I guess you can't watch. (Helen Thomas) She is 89 years old and is damn tired of lying for the damn clan. Israel should listen to Helen Thomas. I think God has had just about enough of them.
God is always good!
Veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas announced her retirement Monday following an uproar over comments she made last month about Jews in Israel. Hearst Corporation, which employed Thomas as a columnist, put out a brief story via Hearst News Service announcing the retirement "effective immediately." The announcement came after the White House Correspondents Association decried her remarks as "indefensible" and began to consider whether Thomas should continue to have the privilege of a front-row seat in the briefing room. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called her remarks "offensive and reprehensible" on Monday, as other former White House spokesmen called for Thomas to be fired. The announcement Monday marked an abrupt end to a career that has spanned decades. Thomas, known as the dean of the White House press corps, has covered every president since Dwight Eisenhower. Her 90th birthday is Aug. 4. The controversy escalated quickly over the weekend after the video surfaced online showing Thomas last month saying Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine," suggesting they go instead to Germany, Poland and the United States. The video, shot by New York Rabbi David Nesenoff, was posted on several prominent websites and prompted a swift apology from Thomas on Friday. "I deeply regret my comments," she said in the statement, claiming 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." The apology did not satisfy her critics. Lanny Davis, former special counsel to and White House spokesman for President Bill Clinton, said the apology "was not direct and didn't address the merits of her belief in the stereotype that Jews are aliens in Israel and don't belong there." Calling for Hearst to at least suspend her White House privileges, Davis said Thomas had revealed herself to be "an anti-Semitic bigot." Ari Fleischer, President George W. Bush's press secretary, said her comments amounted to a call for "religious cleansing." He told Fox News before the announcement that Thomas should lose her job over the comments. "This goes beyond all boundaries," Fleischer said. "When you advocate that people need to be separated on the basis of their religion ... this is hatred, this is bigotry, this is prejudice." Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said her comments were "outrageous" and urged her to make a "more forceful" apology. "Her suggestion that Israelis should go back to Poland and Germany is bigoted and shows a profound ignorance of history," he said in a written statement. The repercussions for the videotaped remarks built rapidly over the past three days. The speaking agency that represents Thomas dropped her over the weekend. Then a Washington-area high school canceled a graduation speech she was scheduled to deliver. Thomas came to write as a columnist for Hearst after working for decades as a correspondent for UPI. Dana Perino, White House press secretary during the George W. Bush administration, said earlier Monday that her comments should call her privileges in the briefing room into question. "Her comments were so offensive to so many, so personally hurtful, and they would not have been tolerated by anybody else," she said. Just minutes before Hearst announced Thomas' retirement, the White House Correspondents Association issued a statement saying the organization "firmly dissociates from (her remarks)." The statement noted that the WHCA has no authority over issuing credentials but would be reviewing whether she should keep her front-row seat at a meeting scheduled for Thursday. "The incident does revive the issue of whether it is appropriate for an opinion columnist to have a front row seat in the WH briefing room," the statement said. "We are actively seeking input from our association members on this important matter." Thomas' remarks were recorded near the White House on May 27 during a Jewish American Heritage Month celebration. Thomas, who is of Lebanese descent, said the Palestinian people "are occupied and it's their land" and that Israelis should "go home" to Poland, Germany, America "and everywhere else." Thomas has a long history of anti-Israel rhetoric at White House press briefings. Last week at a briefing with Gibbs that followed a flotilla raid by Israeli commandos, Thomas called the raid a "deliberate massacre" and "an international crime." "What is the sacrosanct, iron-clad relationship where a country that deliberately kills people and boycotts -- and we aid and abet the boycott?" she asked. Nesenoff told FoxNews.com on Monday that he was in Washington to cover the Heritage Month event for rabbilive.com. He said he had no intention of cornering Thomas at the time and was not thinking about her stance on Israel when he approached her. "It wasn't like I was singling her out," he said. Nesenoff said he was "shocked" at her response, saying it was so "relaxed" it was "like asking Arafat 'Gee what do you think of Jewish people?'" The rabbi said he plans to release another one-minute video clip showing the rest of the exchange with Thomas.
Translation: The Israel Lobby demanded she be fired "or else". Since Hearst did not want to appear to be engaging in retribution for her comments she was "retired". (In a pigs eye she retired.) There are a lot of ways that pressure could be applied to her, but I am guessing that she was informed she would no longer be covering the White House and so rather than suffer the public embarassment, and do something she did not want to do, she "retired". Once again the Israel Lobby collects another scalp from someone who speaks the truth, not the propaganda, about Israel. I predict that she will be in high demand as a speaker, and that "the lobby" and their cohorts at ADL will organize protests to try and keep her from speaking.

Too bad she didn't mention Ethiopia.
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile.
hObama threw her under the bus. That's wrong, freedom of the press and all. No hope, no change, just Bush4. Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama. They should all be tried and hung, IMO. Maybe in the future we should try and hang em before they're inaugurated. Their campaign speeches ought to be enough for a treason conviction.
I was speaking tongue in cheek guys.
Good riddance to the old hag, Helen Rottencrotch forgot the first rule of journalism: "Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of the Chosenites". She should know better, she's been on the scene since FDR was POTUS. I'm curious what she wrote as a reporter when Israel was "founded" in 1948: did she write any critical pieces then when it was easier to throw jews under the bus in public back then?

Good question, X-15. Unfortunately according to wiki, "Thomas joined United Press International in 1943 and reported on women's topics for its radio wire service, earning $24 a week." It appears Helen's focus was relegated to female stuff.

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.)
