Helen Thomas Drops Into the Obscurity She So Richly Deserves

The Hearst newspaper chain has dropped the openly anti-Jewish, Helen Thomas, and so her long career of Jew-bashing comes to an end and not a moment too soon. A lot of anti-Israel bigots and Arab terrorist sympathizers will be upset by this development. See this story for some comments from Ari Fleisher, who called earlier for her firing.

This is not the dawn of the kingdom of God or anything, but the world is bit more civilized today. At least open Jew-baiting is not acceptable in polite society to the extreme and wild extent she engaged in the other day. Vicious Jew-haters at least have to hide their true feelings in order to be in the White House press corps. It is a small victory for tolerance and reason, but it is a start.

This is a good thing.
