The preening liberal media loves to fancy itself an elite bunch, the epitome of correct thinking, good intention, and unassailable virtue. That comfortable notion took a broadside earlier this week when it became known that liberal icon Helen Thomas had remarked Jews should “get the hell out of Palestine” and “go home” to Germany or Poland.
It should be noted that Thomas was well-known for her anti-Israeli views, often peppering administration officials with long-winded questions that came across as pro-Palestinian tirades.
But Helen Thomas isn’t the only female journalist who recently indulged in bald stereotypes.
Last Thursday journalist Andrea Mitchell channeled her inner psychologist, pontificating on the causes of American wars. And Mitchell came to the conclusion that war, for all its complexity, its ebbs and flows, its bravery and tragedy, could be boiled down to a single word: “testosterone.”
The context was an Andrea Mitchell Reports interview with historian Evan Thomas about his recent book, The War Lovers. Casting aside historical nuance, this is what Ms. Mitchell had to say (the full interview can be seen here:
“And it is men — not to be too gender specific here — but there, there is a male factor here… I’ve we seen it in our own recent history. What is it about testosterone that gets us into war?”

Helen Thomas, why hasn't she been procesecuted or a huge law suit brought against her for terroristic threats? or hate crimes? we all know that if you or me would have been caught saying the same or even less racial statements that we would have been arrested and charged immediately. why not Helen Thomas? of course she got fired, but more serious things should happen to her and the people and or the company she worked for, for allowing her to respond and express her own racial feelings the way she did. this is yet another way obammy and his crew in the white house allow more liberal thinking to be rammed down our thraots. we the people have had enough! impeach obammy and his crew
I can answer that question for the air head. In a word…Estrogen …Males are tired of getting bashed by feminist. Of course I can understand the feminist movement. I've always thought it gave the ugly women a chance to march. Talk about a hormone that starts things. If it weren't for males with testostrone fighting wars andrea the air head would be speaking German or Japenese or Korean or arabic. So I guess it could be sumized that she still adheres to the ultra liberal mindset of the 60's.."better red than dead". It would be so nice if we could afford to buy a country just for the brain dead liberals. You can have obummer too and his whole wicked entourage. In the final analysis don't blame wars on testostrone. Estorgen has it's place in the war room too. Oh and andrea, why don't you try shutting your mouth until you have something intelligent to say that we want to hear. In so much as blaming testostrone for starting wars, the only thing that I can attribute to testostrone being bad is it has caused the production of liberals like andrea.
Someone has their head so far up their back side the sun will never shine, The cause of wars my "STUPID" Ignorant fool is NOT testosterone but it is simply…..MONEY! How much brain power does that take to figure out. MONEY has always been the reason and it is mor e the "LOVE of money that has become the outright reason. Why did we get into ww1, or ww2 or Korea or Vietnam or now Afghan/Iraq….the love of money stupid! IF you don't know that then you are as dumb as a bat backing into a blizzard….
Wars are started because of greed, cover-ups, and FAILURES. The elites are not happy simply being rich. They want to be filthy rich, which buys power, and their ensuing power makes it possible for them to exert control over the apathetic masses. If we are to survive as a nation, we better quit believing the lies that are heaped upon us by the MSM and their ignorant minions. Be prepared; it is coming. The testosterone men should rebel and tell these criminals to go fight their own greedy wars.
Again even though you may disagree about what is being said concerning wars and why are we getting involved in every "tragic-situation" that this world has to offer—war should be the last resort in order to solve issues. If we would get back to a gold-based monetary system war would be the last resort to solve any problem, but with a fiat money system war has become the first and foremost way of dealing with all situations. Condemn Helen Thomas but there is something in this country which the Founders established in the United States of America called The Bill of Rights, which gives us the right to say what we really feel about any and all subjects. Hate crimes are a complete and idiotic attempt to stifle free discussion of any subject at all and if one dares to drift into this taboo area–spokesperson beware!! Most people will have the intelligence to draw a more thoughtful conclusion concerning an issue without the Government which lately seems to exist and as it has gotten too large, to take away our Natural-God-given rights, one by one. Remember when the Gov't. fears the citizens we call it Liberty, when the citizens fear the Gov't., this is tyranny and denial of people's rights
We are in the Tyranny stage now!
