Greg Sargent at the Washington Post notes that Conservatives have condemned Helen Thomas for what are clearly anti-Semitic remarks. In fact, they put Thomas on the same page as the most radical supporters of Hamas and other violent Jew haters.
Jim Treacher asks: why aren’t Liberals?
From my own blog, here is a good example of the kind of neo-Nazi that shares Thomas’ views, suggesting that Jews should be exterminated: “it’s a natural as pest control.” Gas ovens anyone? I’m leaving the comment up because it’s such a great, and scary, illustration of the kind of mind that envisions a “final solution.”
UPDATE: If course she's a Liberal so apologizing for making remarks remarks that would get a Conservative fired in a heartbeat makes it all OK. Nothing to see here, move along.
Let's see, which is more offensive: the Tea Party demonstrators being accused of calling members of the Congressional Black Caucus the "N" word, or telling Jews in Israel "... go back to Poland ... or Germany." One gets you called a racist by every Liberal that can talk or write even though there's overwhelming evidence that the racial slur was never uttered. The other one was said in an interview to a video camera. There's no question of what she said or what she meant.
Let's see, a made-up racial incident sparks outrage among the press corps. Blatant anti-Semitism bordering on Nazi-like hatred of Jews is OK. It's forgive and forget because she's a dues paying one of THEM. Bees in the hive don't sting each other.

Apparently, there is no limit to how far one can go — provided Jews are the object of the venom.I would add Christains to that catagory.
