It was more than "stupid" it was the last in a long line of
commentary she has made showing her to be a vicious anti-Semite. She
basically echoed what the IDF were told when they tried to warn off the
"humanitarian" flotilla -- they were told to "go back to
Auschwitz." Thomas cleaned it up a bit and said "go home to
Poland and Germany."

Decades ago.

I will not defend Buchanan other than say it's MSNBC's call, not yours.

Where did you get the idea that Beck "has nothing but good to say
about..." any "anti-Semite and racist?" Let me guess...
Media Matters...

That said, until Buchanan or Beck say what Thomas said, what's your beef?
Oh yeah, you want to silence anyone you disagree with.

BTW, how is your suggestion that BP execs and politicians you don't like be
used to stop the oil leak and different than Thomas' comments about the
Israelis? Isn't is just as hateful?
