(14,164 posts)Is your penchant for smearing good people doing good things by finding one human moment of weakness where the wrong thing is blurted out or done. Its despicable.
For all the years Helen Thomas performed admirably..always on the side of truth. The only one journalist that dared question Bush Jr. to his face....you pick out one moment, spoken in anger. Did you ever consider giving her the benefit of the doubt? That what she really meant was that Washington most always had sided with Israel. And mostly because the size of any Palestinian Lobby pales in comparison to the Jewish/Israeli Lobby. They basically have no voice at all.
Her best friend in life, Fran Lewine, is Jewish. She was not a racist. She was exasperated by the seeming blind eye that Washington had for continuing settlements in disputed areas. To a people she was culturally attached to. So she snapped an exaggerated response to a needling reporter.
But that was enough to conveniently justify giddily adding yet another notch on your relentless campaign of smearing and devaluing the life work of good people.
