    • Should have retired YEARS ago

      Comment by My Name Is jack | June 7, 2010 | Reply

      • She’s the oldest one there…..

        But she doesn’t follow the company line….and that can get in trouble covering the White House…..Her own feelings are her own…..But….lose lips sink ships…..
        This was her own……

        This from the linked piece…..

        Veteran White House reporter Helen Thomas announced Monday that she is retiring, effective immediately, in the wake of a controversy over her comments on Israel, according to a report from her employer, Hearst News Service.

        Thomas told a rabbi at a White House event last week that Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and go back to Germany and Poland.

        “I deeply regret my comments I made last week regarding the Israelis and the Palestinians,” Thomas said in a statement on her Web site. “They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon.”

        Thomas’s comments provoked sharp criticism within the close-knit world of White House reporters, and drew a rebuke from the White House podium Monday. With her seat conspicuously empty at the daily briefing, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs assailed Thomas for her words.

  8. It’s about the vote….Period!

    Sometimes smart off color remarks hurt the speaker of those remarks!

    If Knoxx had kept his mouth shut…. she won’t have had free exposure….

    She should write him a thank you note

    Comment by jamesb101 | June 7, 2010 | Reply

  9. Haleys vote will depend on turnout

    The higher the better off she will be

    Organization Republicans will still tend to support McMaster and to a lesser extent Barrett

    Haleys main support comes from Independent type Republicans

    It will be tough(but not impossible) for her to win outright tomorrow

    I still look for a runoff between her and McMaster

    Comment by My Name Is jack | June 7, 2010 | Reply

  10. In another few weeks another South Carolina Republican will say something at least as bigoted as what Knotts did.

    You can count on it.

    • Whats amusing is their “apologies”

      Sort of like Rand Pauls

      Why “apologize” for what you REALLY believe

      Or maybe theyre “apologizing” for being a bigot?

      Comment by My Name Is jack | June 7, 2010 | Reply

      • Maybe they REALLY didn’t apologize at all…Just went thru the motions????

        Comment by jamesb101 | June 7, 2010

  11. I guess we all agree with Jack..she’ll win….but will have a run-off….

    good point the traditional GOP vote….

    Have you ALWAYS been racist

    • On the contrary dumb dumb

      I see right through your smokescreen

      These Black candidates that you “support”(like that clown Davis in Alabama) have NO chance to win

      Therefore a bigot like you “supports” them

      While referring to the Black president of the US as a “Nazi”

  22. If Tatiz wins that primary it will be classic. Meg Whitman and whoever wins the GOP Senate nomination (most likely Fiorina)will have to distance themselves or explain if they are birthers too.

    Go Tatiz!

  25. Actually the most significant race in SC is not even mentioned here

    It is the Republican Congressional primary in the First District(the SC coast i e Charleston,Myrtle Beach Hilton Head)

    Cong Henry Brown is retiring

    And there are ten candidates seeking the nomination

    Since the GOP nomination is tantamount to election(the Disrict hasnt elected a Democrat in 32 years)

    The leading candidates are

    Tim Scott-A Black state legislator

    Paul Thurmond-Son of the late Sen Strom Thurmond

    Carroll campbell-Son of the late former Governor

    Larry Kobrovsky-A school choice lawyer

    I believe that Scott and Thurmond will finish one two setting up a runoff in two weeks

    Although Kobrovsky has an outside chance of replacing Thurmond in the number two spot

    Scott a well known conservative has a real chance of winning

    The symbolism here is enormous

    A Scott victory will mean that a descendant of slaves defeated the son of the leading voice of segregation in the south back in the fifties and sixties

    And will be representing(literally) Fort Sumter

    Watch that one tomorrow night!

    • “A Scott victory will mean that a descendant of slaves defeated the son of the leading voice of segregation in the south back in the fifties and sixties”

      Thurmond has a sister who is half black. Did she endorse anyone?

      “And will be representing(literally) Fort Sumter”

      Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head? Yeah, Fort Pillow will be more like it.

      • Strom Thurmond was the most-visible face of segregation as far back as 1948, when he ran as the Presidential candidate of the States Rights Democratic Party.

  28. How about those Celtics! How about those Blackhawks!

    I started to watch the Red Sox @ Indians game tonight. Man, the stands are empty at Jacobs Field. I understand they are only drawing about 20,000 per game. Poor Chief Wahoo!

    Still, air fare, hotel for a night, and tickets to see a game at Baltimore’s Camden Yards cost less than parking and a ticket to see the Sox at Fenway. I wonder if the same can be said for Jacobs Field?

    Obviously we can’t risk the dangers of cap-and-trade; it might reduce the use of hydrocarbons and stop all the fun.
