Helen Thomas - Jew Hater Or Senile Old Witch?

Detroit, Dec 4, 2010. Wayne State University rescinded its "Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity in Media" award after the former White House correspondent once again made anti-Semitic comments. This time, Mrs. Thomas claimed that the United States is controlled by "Zionists."

"I blame the stinking Jews!"
The 90 year old Mrs. Thomas told a workshop on anti-Arab bias in Dearborn, Mich., that Jewish influence made it impossible to criticize Israel in the United States. "Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street are owned by the Zionists," Thomas said on Thursday. "They put their money where their mouth is."

The university yanked the award Friday and denounced her comments. Wayne State "strongly condemns the anti-Semitic remarks made by Helen Thomas," the university said in an emailed statement.

Wayne State's Journalism Institute for Media Diversity has given the Helen Thomas award for work that promotes diversity. The award "is no longer helping us achieve our goals," Matthew Seeger, an interim dean said.

This isn't the first time that Thomas has made anti-Semitic comments. In June, she was caught on camera saying that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go home to "Poland, Germany and America and everywhere else."

Of course, this sort of bizarre behavior raises the question of whether Mrs. Thomas is a bigoted vulgar anti-Semite, or is simply a senile old woman. "It really doesn't matter" Dean Seegar said, "Either way, there is no point in giving out a Diversity Award named after a senile old racist."
"I still love the old bag!"

Helein Thomas was the daughter of Lebanese immigrants in Detroit, and was once a pioneering political correspondent.

She was the first female officer of the National Press Club and the first female member of the White House Correspondents Association.

President Barack Hussein Obama, D-Kenya, still expresses strong support for Mrs. Thomas' views. "We still get together and read our Holy Qurans" he told us.
