Do you think Helen Thomas should have been forced to retire because she stated a personal opinion about the Jews in Palestine?

Do you think Helen Thomas should have been forced to retire because she stated a personal opinion about the Jews in Palestine? I don't think she was.She just realized she had s*** in her mess kit and decided it was in her best interest to do so.Now at least people won't hold her feet to the fire as long. My personal opinion was she was a joke and abused her her position with the press!It was time.

I don't think it was right to force her to retire. She was asked a question and gave an opinion. I thought we were still allowed to do that here. She did not make the remark in a column.
We don't have to agree with her opinion, but she should not be penalized for having it.

We are allowed to say whatever we wish,sometimes the price for our opinions are high.She was willing to pay the price or she should have kept her mouth shut! In her case it would have been better to have kept her mouth shut and let the world thing her a fool,that for her to open it and remove all doubt!
