Helen Thomas to be honored for hatespeech?

The Arab American National museum is trying to find funding to create a statue to honor Helen Thomas.
Thomas famously lost her job as the most desiccated White House correspondent over a video showing her making unacceptable statements about Israel.
She has long been known as anti Israel but her recent rant has made it very difficult for the statue backers to achieve the $30K goal they have set.
In a Twilight Zone twist, a Jewish group has given the project support.
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Detroit has voiced support with the caveat of 'hoping' that the effort is despite her recent statements instead of because of them.

Seriously, Helen Thomas is a walking talking gargoyle and they just need to bronze her when she assumes room temperature.

About time!

Georgians have removed a statue of Stalin from a square in his home town of Gori which was hard hit during the recent criminal Russian military action.
The removal occurred in the middle of the night without any announcement and reporters were kept away (even reportedly beaten).
I disagree with the sneaking, middle-of-the-night method used in this removal but at least they did the deed.
The statue is to be moved to a museum in the same town.
If the statue is to be totally removed at some future date they can send it to Berkeley, CA where it will be received with open arms.
