Rabbi Who Recorded Helen Thomas' Comments Says He's Gotten 25k Hate E-Mails

Rabbi David Nesenoff talks to cbs2 New York about the hate.

Remember, it was Helen Thomas who made the comments, the Rabbi was polite and it wasn't a trick question. The problem is her own words, not the Rabbi reporting what she said..

Twenty-five thousand hate mails and counting.That's what a New York rabbi and filmmaker said he has in his email.

And it's all because he captured those controversial comments from long-time White House journalist Helen Thomas. CBS 2 HD sat down with Rabbi David Nesenoff on Wednesday night for a one-on-one interview.

Four days ago Long Island's Nesenoff launched his new website, rabbilive.com, with the now-infamous comments from legendary journalist Thomas.Thomas apologized and then retired. Since then, Rabbi Nesenoff said the hate mail has been pouring in."As we're talking here, right now, the email are like a ticker tape. It's been like this for a week, going, going, going," Nesenoff said.

Try 25,000 and counting, messages like:
* "The Jews need to go home just like the filthy illegals that plague America, same (expletive)."

* "I know your type you gentile hating Jew boy. Come and face me turd. I'll smash u under my boot."

* "Hitler was right. Time for you to go back in the oven."
