Helen Thomas is a poster woman for liberal ditzyness in motion.

I've said from day one that the issue of race tends to make weak minded people "liberals" think in ways that can only be described as "looney". I've never understood why white liberals harbor such "white guilt" for what happened during the era of slavery. Helen Thomas is a newspaper reporter and is a memeber of the White House Press Corp. When Jesse Jackson made his comment about Congressman Author Davis not being black because he voted against Pelosi's Socialist Health care bill, I thought that was the dumbest most idiotic comment I've ever hear come out of the mouth of a person. I should have known that liberals don't have a ceiling to the level of idiocy they can reach. Yesterday, people in the media and entertainment were asked what they are thankful for. They gave typical common sense answers such as being thankful for their health, family, loved ones etc. Then came Helen Thomas's response. She said that "she was thankful for having a black president".



Back during the campaign, people on the left were accused by those on the right of voting for Obama merely because of the color of his skin. They of course denied it as they always deny the truth. Liberals always profess to want at color blind society, yet their own words seem to contradict them at every turn. As a black man, I could care less about Obama being black or half black. I care more about his ideology and the impact it is having on this country. I can imagine what would have been the response if John McCain would have became president, and a conservative would have said "he or she is thankful for having a "white" president". Of course no prominent conservative would ever say something like that, but just imagine if someone did. They would be destroyed by the media, the NAALCP and others in general. Nobody is going to call Helen Thomas out for her racially stupid comment, because she is a liberal media darling. Contrary to Helen's confused beliefs, Barack Obama's skin color does run the country. His skin pigmentation isn't a substitution for his brain matter. Helen Thomas is a very shallow and superficial person if all she see in Obama is his skin color. In many ways, she actually showed great disrespect to Barack Obama. To the white liberal Helen Thomas, Barack Obama is merely a skin pigmentation and nothing more. She could have said that she was thankful that Barack Obama is president. If she would have said that, she would have identified Barack as a man with an identity. She didn't do that though. This is like a flash back to when Joe Biden called Obama "clean and articulate"for a black man.



I can understand to a point why black liberals would say they are thankful for having a black president, but what is the issue with white liberals like Helen Thomas saying it? Liberals always tell me about how many blacks are Democrats. They say it as if blacks are some sort of trophy they won. When the question is posed asking what have they done to warrant the support among blacks, they tend to get very quiet, gee go figure. If in 2012 a white person becomes president, will Helen Thomas and people who think like her not be thankful because he or she is white? Liberals regardless of race are just flat out weird but on many different levels.
