Dinner with Helen Thomas, for dmr, lpbk2713 and others who asked

4. I won't rehash her comments, but I disagree that they were a 'line' to be 'swallowed'

That implies that people who took issue with them were being tricked or otherwise mislead. That is most certainly not the case, at least not for me. She made those comments and has stood by them. It's entirely fair to take issue with them and disingenuous to imply that doing so represents anything other than an individual appraisal of her public remarks about Israel and the American Jewish community.

No need to respond if you don't wish to do so. I'm not trying to derail your thread or start an argument. But I felt that it was entirely fair to comment on your characterization of the response to her remarks, which I feel is inaccurate (or at least it is in my case). And please note that I did not comment on the remarks themselves, but restricted my post to your characterization of their reception.
