I have no words. I should have seen this coming.
All this time that I’ve been writing about the hypocrisy of the blogosphere and the media in general (both conservative AND liberal) in putting the worst possible spin on the videotaped statements made by Helen Thomas, creating total hysteria in the media with the ultimate result that she was asked to resign from her job at the age of 89, it never occurred to me to ask — not even for a single moment — where the unedited version of the tape was and what it showed.
“You got played,” says John Cole. And he’s right.
Clearly, this woman is evil beyond words. The way she smiled at those Jewish kids while giving them friendly advice to enter careers in journalism so they can have fulfilling lives of learning and accomplishment when secretly, I have been assured by liberals and others, what she really wants is to transport them back to the gas ovens of the Holocaust.
You guys got played. And by this jackass, running around doing Mexican impressions in his spare time. Does anyone still want to try to pretend she was suggesting people be time-warped back to Auschwitz? Or that her pleasantly offering advice to Jewish students was horrifying anti-Semitism at work? Anyone?
