Not only does Helen Thomas stand by the controversial comments about Israel that cost her a front-row White House briefing room seat—she's going even further. During a speech at a Michigan workshop on anti-Arab bias, she said, "Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists. No question, in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is. ... We're being pushed into a wrong direction in every way."

The man is a drooling moron, but at least he's open about it.

Sorry about double thread but it shows you that hate isn't always in south.

She is a Jew hating leftist old hag.
The press knew her views before and they HONORED her.
She is an example of why people are sick and tired of reporters making the news through their opinions instead of just reporting the darn news.

It's not like she claimed her bias as a Hannity, Limbaugh or a Maddow do.
It's alright to have a side, opinion and view, but don't claim you are an unbiased reporter just reporting the news.
To me that woman was like an espionage agent in the press ranks.

This just can't be. The US Congress and other government officials never hold back their disagreements with Israel, the press is full of them.

Well, she is obviously getting old and crazy or she is saying all the things she couldn't when she was working. One thing that's funny is that the same people who think Sharia law is going to spread throughout the country from a fictional town in Texas think that it's a capital offense to even mention Israel's disproportionate sway in our foreign policy decisions.

Is this true?

Maybe because the God of Israel and Christians tend to preach love meanwhile the god of Islam and Sharia law simply want everyone else's head?

The Jews govern as a people and their influence is valuable in the Middle east.
When the Muslims rule and get into groups they operate as a theocracy from the middle ages that never matured and stir up violence and trouble everywhere.
IMO the better people are getting the disproportionate sway (if that happens).
Obama keeps giving Hamas a billion here and there to finance their missiles against Israel, so outside of that being another reason to remove him in 2012, I don't see that as a good thing and giving nothing to others.

First of all, they are the same God. Islam on a whole used to be a whole lot more tolerant than it is now, and Christianity used to be a whole lot more intolerant. It may switch back again-- who knows?

But regardless of whose god you think loves people more-- one of the thoughts I mentioned is based in wild paranoia and the other is based in fact.
