ARAB AMERICAN ACTION NETWORK TO HONOR HELEN THOMAS WITH SCULPTURE

This one is disturbing on multiple levels but honoring Helen Thomas with a sculpture is definitely vying for the top spot. The Arab American Action Network (AAAN) was founded by close Obama friend Rashid Khalidi and has had its Chicago office raided in recent months. In December, the AAAN will be featuring Thomas, who will be giving a speech as the group's preference for Arab Dean of the White House Press Corps. Khalidi was also a spokesman for the PLO at one time.

Via Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy in Media:

The Arab American National Museum, based in Dearborn, Michigan, is currently raising funds for a Helen Thomas Sculpture Project, in order to create a sculpture honoring Thomas. The Arab American National Museum is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

But plans to honor Thomas—and questions about how she should be treated in the history of journalism in the U.S.—have become increasingly controversial because of the questions surrounding the AAAN and its executive director, Hatem Abudayyeh. His home was raided on September 24 as part of an FBI investigation into illegal support provided by U.S.-based groups to foreign terrorist organizations in the Middle East and Latin America.

Incredibly, the raid followed a friendly visit to the White House by Abudayyeh earlier this year.

A long-time White House correspondent, Thomas served as a columnist for Hearst newspapers before her anti-Israel views, termed anti-Semitic by many critics, became too controversial and she was forced to step down from her journalistic perch. In a controversial video appearance, recorded by Rabbi David Nesenoff for his “Rabbi Live” program, Thomas said the Jews ought to “get the hell out of Palestine” and presumably turn the land over to the Arabs and Muslims. She also said they should return to countries like Germany and Poland, where the Holocaust took place, which ultimately led to the creation of the Jewish homeland in Israel.

Let's unpack this one a little bit. Helen Thomas' exodus from her job with the White House Press Corps. was directly attributable to her clearly anti-semitic (RACIST) views being captured on video. Now, she is set to be honored - with a Sculpture - by a group Obama's longtime friend founded; the group is now led by a guy with alleged terror ties who is on record as having been a visitor to the White House.

And it's the Tea Party that's racist?

Yeah, right..

As a refresher, here's Helen in all of her Racist glory...

SARAH PALIN DELIVERS A FACEBOOK SMACK DOWN

I don't usually post Sarah Palin's Facebook entries but this one is absolutely awesome. Remember all of those Obama gaffes the media ignored? Well, Palin incorporated ten of them into one paragraph to make a point - and it was made in spades. In an interview with Glenn Beck, Palin inadvertently said - while talking about the situation in Korea - that America needs to 'stand with our North Korean allies.' She very shortly thereafter corrected her statement and continued to make her point. After being mocked for the slip-up, she comprised a Thanksgiving message - with links - that may not have shut up her critics but it sure did cause them to change the subject.

Via Facebook:

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…

That is just plain awesome and clearly demonstrates why Sarah Palin should NOT run for president. She is much more effective in the role she's in - driving the left absolutely nuts. If she were to run for president, who would take her spot as the anti-community organizing agitator??? She is best in this role.

If you'd like to hear what she said on Glenn Beck's radio show that caused the left to attempt to smear her, click HERE and fast forward to the 11:30 mark.

Just one day before Palin posted that Thanksgiving Day message, Barack Obama told the New York Daily News that he doesn't think about Sarah Palin. Well, either he was lying (most likely possibility based on how prolific he is at it) or she's in his head after this Facebook entry. Either way, she's driving the left nuts.
