Reply #46: Helen Thomas' track record is a MILLION times better than Pat Buchanan's

[Raineyb]

So for her to be run off for ONE statement is bullshit. Obviously by the speed with which she's been forced out it's painfully clear that you won't have to worry about keeping your job disrespecting black and brown people in this country. And that the Israeli lobby is more important to those in power than the black and brown citizens of this country.

THAT is the problem.

I don't give a fuck about what Helen Thomas said when in the grand scheme Pat Buchanan is a hell of a lot more dangerous than she is.

And to even suggest that Pat Buchanan's continued employment status despite his long racist history is not important here is bullshit.

You care more about one statement of Helen Thomas' than the entirety of Pat Buchanan's long racist rap sheet. So I suppose one could extrapolate which population's respect is more important to you as well. At least be honest in that when you make your argument rather than pooh-poohing the mention of the disparate treatment of the two.
