RIP, Helen Thomas

Man, I remember when the passing of Helen Thomas would have lead to a thousand posts of vitriol and hatred. But nowadays, Freepers prefer to vent their spleen in more racial ways. Thus, the death of a once-great Freeper enemy is met with a few mean jokes, and pride at how classy they are keeping it, while at the same time there remain dozens of posts a day about how Trayvon Martin was a seventeen-year-old super-nig thug.

driftdiver takes the high road, Freeper-style.

In before the pictures. May God have mercy on her soul, she was an enemy of a free America so I shall not mourn.

Kip Russell:

I won’t do a gravedance, but I won’t miss her.

bigdaddy45 wants everyone to keep it classy, while also noting that Helen Thomas was worthless:

I’ve just always seen grave dancing as a Democrat trait. I always thought Republicans had more class. And quite frankly, exulting in the death of a bitter old woman who’s influence was minimal (at best) seems a bit silly to me. Your stated glee in her passing gives her more worth than her life justifies.

The only reason Helen Thomas was newsworthy was because she was a female, and hung around forever. Her journalistic influence was a blip.

smokingfrog knows Obama was a big fan:

The question is will 0bama order flags to be lowered to half-mast.

CodeToad senses sekret Muslim!

The original Muslim Trojan Horse. In fact I think she gave the Trojans the idea.

Bob thinks she sold her soul to Bill Clinton or something:

Don’t waste your time concerned about her soul. She sold it many years ago, most likely in 1992. Her body just took this long to catch up with it.

Spunky found some pictures! Freepers love to analyze pictures:

There was a time when she was nice looking, but being a Democrat made her ugly. :-)

BykrBayb sees the Satan:

OMG, she had Satan in her eyes, even then.

It's interesting, as Freeper founder Jim Robinson shows no signs of joining into this newfound racial slant; je would more be about yelling how Helen Thomas is in Hell for destroying America. That he has sold out rather than becoming a true believer almost makes it worse, of course.
