Get rid of the name plate. She is a disgrace and a bigot.

.

Of course! She is a bigot!

No, you don’t Remove it. You leave it as a reminder of the past. That is the problem now. Progressives quickly remove any reminders of the past so future generations will be led to believe in lies, instead of the truth.

I would take it off. What if a Jewish person gets that seat? Do they want to sit in her seat?

Give the plaque to Tommy. He was the ones who asked Gibbs about her comments, he should get her plaque if he wants it.

Remove the seat, send it to the Smithsonian and get a new chair.

Did she sit in that seat for all of her 50 years? How long was that her seat?

that’s a good idea.

i would put an asterisks on it though. haha

It’s not her seat. It’s in the White House Press room. The US Taxpayer owns that seat, not some old bigot.

I was going to suggest that the poll should’ve used a third or maybe a fourth option — one where the nameplate was moved to another location or possibly given to Helen for her university archives (I assume someone will eventually get her papers) — but then I read ice queen’s suggestion and that too sounds like a good idea.

Helen Thomas has been a national treasure and served the American people for decades. She has done more for our nation and the world than probably any of the sanctimonious twits castigating her for one stupid statement. Besides, why should her personal opinions be relevant? She is the complete professional.

My god, spare me…Helen Thomas has had a long, illustrious career….How many in your life time have you not said something you regret…”people in glass houses…etc.”

And, in terms of her remarks that Israel should withdraw from occupied lands, right on, Helen. In 1967 the UN gave Israel two resolutions relating to occupying its own territory. Since then it continues to blatantly ignore these resolutions. Because the US is so terrified of “upsetting” Israel and because the US is a terrorist state like Israel it has never backed the resolutions. The US and Israel abide by the UN only when it serves their purpose and continue to be aggressor, immoral, unethical and criminal states.

I think Helen’s career has been courageous. She has pressed presidents to answer challenging questions. She has been adamant in her philosophy for the world and its leaders to do right. She now made a mistake, that in her advancing years, she regrets. Give her a break and all of you get off your moral high ground.

Yeah a professional bigot.

I’m sure they can find a place for her nameplate in the Holocaust Museum.

The seat belongs to the American People and should have never had her name on it in the first place.

Who new her name was on it? Who doesn’t give the front seat to little old ladies?

Since when did Israel=Jewish? Get off your moral high ground people, you obviously contribute nothing by making vague generalizations of the entire topic.

Anyways, the name stays, especially considering how damn long she’s been doing it, as well as how damn good she was at her job.

When she told Jews to get the hell out of Israel.

You know, she said some stuff, the Rabbi said some stuff, but why is it always black or white??

I really liked this guy’s take on it:

What do you guys think?

Absolutely not. (See the little hate-mongers here complaining!) Unable to connect between “Jews” and “Iraelis.”

Not that honesty seems to be relevant, but she told the Jews to get out of Palestine.

Helen Thomas told the truth and has always asked the hard questions. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

I am an antisemite. I was not always thus. I began to change about two years ago when I learned of the USS Liberty. Then, in short order, I began to notice the way that the mainstream media covered stories related to Israel. There followed the shock that came as I learned of dual citizenship among our leaders and all that that implied. As I became more and more aware, things began to snowball. The attack upon the unarmed convoy and the mauling of the last of our great journalists is just more of the pattern.

I am an antisemite by the definition that the backers of Israel insist on. They created me so that they could use me to frighten the Jew just as they use the Jew as a human shield. I cannot reach them there. Only Jewry itself can do that. They have failed to do so many times in the past, but things change. Things change.

Not only should they remove the nameplate, but the states should clean up Gaza so Israel can fill it with casinos and turn it into the Las Vegas of Eurasia. Tehran should also be nuked for Ahmadinejad’s persistent insolence.

How about removing the nameplates of all the rest of the media hacks, use the Rico laws to destroy the rotten media giants as hopelessly corrupt organizations along with both the democratic and republican crime families. then put her nameplate in a place of honor as the only slightly honest media person out there.

The woman’s career is not tarnished even tho she said what many of us is thinking. She realizes that Israel is basicallly wanting to eradicate the people they displaced. Doesn’t their own history
