Helen Thomas receiving lifetime achievement award from CAIR
2010-09-19
The longtime White House correspondent who resigned from Hearst newspaper in June in the wake of comments she made about Israel will receive a lifetime achievement award from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
They, of course, deserve each other ...
CAIR is honoring Thomas, who is of Lebanese descent and now 90 years old, at its Leadership Conference and 16th Annual Fundraising Banquet on Oct. 9 in Arlington, Va.

Speakers will also include Oxford Islamic studies scholar Tariq Ramadan.
That's right -- Hillary Clinton's State Department let him in. I'd forgotten that son of a Muslim Brotherhood leader was here, but no doubt he's been whispering interesting things into various shell-like ears.

#5  Thomas, who is of Lebanese descent and now 90 years old,

Her recent statements and longevity only proves there is no such thing as a "moderate Arab." They ALL want the Jews and Israel to somehow just disappear.

#1  Yes, Hillary's State dept let Tariq R in but there were many others who helped out. The ACLU did hundreds if not thousands of hours of work and advocacy on this.

And, it was the U of Notre Dame that invited him to take a professorship back in 2004.

Yes, Tariq is a very successful practitioner of doubletalk (e.g., condemning Terrorism but not terrorists, condemning suicide bombers in Israel for using a bad 'tactic', etc.). Him and Helen are an old couple with Helen so verbally clumsy.
