Jesse Helms Dies -- Daily Kos Celebrates "Rat Bastard's" Death
""What is really at stake is whether or not America will allow the cultural high ground in this nation to sink slowly into an abyss of slime to placate people who clearly seek or are willing to destroy the Judaic-Christian foundations of this republic."
Jesse HelmsFormer Sen. Jesse Helms passed away this morning. He was 86.
-1990
In an e-mail interview with The Associated Press in 2005, Helms said he hoped what future generations learn about him "will be based on the truth and not the deliberate inaccuracies those who disagreed with me took such delight in repeating." He opposed the Panama Canal treaties that President Jimmy Carter pushed through a reluctant Senate in 1977.
The Heritage Foundation honors Helms today.
As predictable as tomorrow's sunrise...
The leading Democratic blog is celebrating:

I just don't get it. Please explain to me why some idiots want to hand this country over to these scum bags just to make a point in the hopes that we dig out of Obama in 30 years because McCain isn't Reagan.
DAMN!
Good question, Snooper.
Great question.
Others are showing their cla$$ also related to this.

Well, word will get out soon enough so, here goes.
We had a McCain is the same as Obama bull fight at A Newt One and it looks like the 3+ years of building a network is crumbling right at the level of reaching 4 MILLION hits.
$ of us are looking for new homes if you have any leads.

The issue was ugly and the founder of the blog pissed because THIS DAVFW Grunt will NOT stay home and wait for the Grand Reagan to arise from the primordial ooze.
Pisses me off.
I know we have Free Speech and all that, and I wouldn't want that to go away at all, but I don't see enough of the main stream media even trying to put such idiocy right where it belongs.
I include them in this travesty.
The Kossacks always have been a classy bunch! /sarcasm
I was reading the"Rat Bastard's..." post and noticed the part where he/she/it said that the core pricipal this country was founded on was equality.
That would be wrong, jaybird, as the core pricipals this country was founded on are life and liberty. He got us confused with the French, which is a common mistake of the leftist rabble. They need to get over themselves.
A small collection of the wit and wisdom of Jesse Helms, courtesy of Pam Spaulding...
"Unless our Negro citizens submit more easily than we predict they will, North Carolina does not have the simple choice between segregated schools and integrated schools. Our only choice is between integrated public schools and free-choice private schools. ... The decision will have been made by a very small minority of people who are hell-bent on forced integration.""
"To rob the Negro of his reputation of thinking through a problem in his own fashion is about the same as trying to pretend that he doesn't have a natural instinct for rhythm and for singing and dancing." -- Helms responding in 1956 to criticism that a fictional black character in his newspaper column was offensive.
"The New York Times and Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals themselves. Just about every person down there is a homosexual or lesbian." -- 1995
"The University of Negroes and Communists" -- Reference to the University of North Carolina devised by Mr. Helms when he worked for Willis Smith's 1950 U.S. Senate campaign.
"Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade-school classes that teach our children that CANNIBALISM, WIFE-SWAPPING and MURDER of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior." -- Fund raising mailer, 1996
"All Latins are volatile people. Hence, I was not surprised at the volatile reaction." -- After Mexicans protested his visit in 1986
"Homosexuals are weak, morally sick wretches." -- 1995 radio broadcast
"She's a damn lesbian. I am not going to put a lesbian in a position like that. If you want to call me a bigot, fine." -- Explaining why he was opposing the appointment of a woman for a cabinet post.
"They should ask their parents if it would be all right for their son or daughter to marry a Negro." -- In response to Duke University students holding a vigil after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, 1968
BE SURE TO DELETE THIS COMMENT REALLY QUICKLY, JIMMYCRAP. WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO YOU TO KEEP YOUR READERS IGNORANT!
Helms was scum.
Defend him all you want, Skippy.
He represented everything that is wrong with your party, and the fact that his hateful mind died on the 4th of July, as we celebrate our freedom, is fitting.
The conservative movement is lead by dinosaurs. Dead and dying, dropping like flies, unable to sell their failed 20th century idealogy to a new generation.
Good riddance.
