Out of the Heart The Mouth Speaks

Open Mouth Insert Foot

Wow. Just wow! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/06/07/helen-thomas-retire-effective-immediately/?test=latestnews

Talk about serious foot in mouth disease. Helen Thomas really has it bad.

My 92 year old grandmother says when you get very old you can say anything you wish because people will just laugh thinking you're senile and just blow you off. In other words, you're supposed to be able to say things as an old person you'd never get away with when you're younger.

I was looking forward to those future days because it's one of the few things I can think of that is a postive in getting older.

Looks like that's not the case anymore by looking at today's news.

Helen Thomas, almost 90 years old, is being forced into retirement because of her latest anti-Semetic comment that is just, well, inexcusable. Her resignation is effective immediately. Seems like everyone is in agreement over this one so far. And no wonder. Did you hear what she said?

I'm reminded it's not how you start a race that's important. It's all in the finish. This finish ended badly.

I understand the whole free speech argument and I'm always concerned for that especially from a Christian POV knowing that many of our beliefs counter current culture and will continue to do so.

My question though is how come this has not been labeled hate speech? It sure sounded like that to me against the Jews. If this had been against the blacks or the homosexuals wouldn't it have been considered hate speech?

She is a liberal.

Hmm, just heard that this video was done by a Rabbi with two Jewish helpers that were wearing yarmulkes at a Jewish heritage day at the White House. LINK

Interesting...

again I say...wow! Just wow A.D. I couldn't go too far in looking at this hateful site. Like I said before "out of the heart the mouth speaks."

I'm reminded of the scripture that says

"The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked..." Jer 17:9

all I can say is but by the grace of God go I. Thank God He did heart surgery on me. We need to pray harder than ever.

I heard that when I first heard about it. The "helpers" where the Rabbi's son and his friend (I think about 17). He wants a personal apology for his son and son's friend from Helen. can we say snow in hades?

Yeppers.

Given the deeper context in which this was said I'm gonna have to back off on my point. That's like talking about white supremacy during a White House celebration of Black heritage.

Yeah I wasn't able to look much more at the site either. Sadly the ignorance isn't even surprising anymore.
