Surprise: Helen Thomas to receive lifetime achievement award from CAIR
Thomas started at the White House as a reporter during the Kennedy administration. In a video interview captured at a White House Jewish heritage event for RabbiLIVE.com that spread quickly across the Internet, Thomas advised Israeli Jews to “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home” to Poland, Germany, America and “everywhere else.”

A Jew hater is getting a lifetime achievement award from CAIR? What are the odds?
SoulGlo on September 19, 2010 at 10:39 AM
Oh geez … not surprising in the least.
Maybe she also hold an honorary position in the Muslim Brotherhood.

A Taliban memo states they think Helen is dy-no-mite !

They’re running out of virgins..

Why not – the Nobel has been stuffed, why not this?
OldEnglish on September 19, 2010 at 10:42 AM
I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

CAIR is obligated to reward their operatives at some point.

Christiane Amanpour is livid with jealousy.
viking01 on September 19, 2010 at 10:50 AM
This is a grave injustice. She only won because Ahmadineajad and bin Laden split the vote.

There’s gambling in Las Vegas!!!

It is appropriate that the worlds greatest Muslim nation reward Islamic Exceptionalism in the field of Journalistic lying for the cause.

When’s Obama get his?

Under a just government, that would almost be enough to wiretap and run stings on both of them.
elfman on September 19, 2010 at 11:06 AM
She is a Jew hating *unt……I expect no less from an organization of Jew haters.

A more deserving low life scum has never been born. Thomas and CAIR are perfect together.
FloatingRock on September 19, 2010 at 11:15 AM
birds of a feather.
you know, i wouldn’t be so proud if CAIR gave me any award. and she got the biggest of them all. makes her look really bad, in my opinion.

Are you sure the award wasn’t from unPlanned Parenthood?
Helen also received a bountiful check from the Muslim Brotherhood because the group wasn’t sure of her gender. Her honorary kaffiyeh can serve a dual purpose as a head covering or a face covering.

So, has Helen Wheels chimed it yet on the Ground Zero Mosque?
Speaking of which, I saw a very interesting point made yesterday on another forum-that entire neighborhood was, back in colonial days, a huge burial ground. For Pigs.

I think Hitler was the first recipient.

Aka ‘Moderate reporter awarded highest honor by moderate CAIR’
Schadenfreude on September 19, 2010 at 1:18 PM
I think that CAIR has three lifetime achievement awards. Does anyone know which one she is getting? The Joseph Goebbels lifetime achievement award or the Adolf Eichmann lifetime achievement award or The Adolf Hitler lifetime achievement award?

The4 scene in “Dr. Strangelove” where the Dr. tries to restrain his arm:
“No. Nooo! Must not comment. Nooooo!”
Well I lost.
Helen Thomas fills out a burqa better than anybody else. Good on CAIR to recognize this lifetime achievement
Caststeel on September 19, 2010 at 3:07 PM
That 4 is the result of “struggle”. “My Struggle”.
Caststeel on September 19, 2010 at 3:10 PM
Her words are as incendiary as their suicide bombs so that fits. I wonder if the award is shaped like a stick of dynamite?
