for some reason when I read a title "Dead at -insert age-" I feel all weird. I know the person is dead but it seems so blunt, harsh and inconsiderate, even though I really don't care if they say that about Jesse Helms, the nigger bigot he was. 7/4/2008 10:54:42 AM |

Blanket statements are messed up.
There are some people who have lived on this earth whose death is a cause for celebration, regardless of the grief of those who chose to cherish them.7/4/2008 12:16:23 PM |

Jesse Helms did a lot of good and a lot of bad for this state. He served as a Senator for a long time and held a lot of power in the senate.
None of you will ever amount to much on here and I doubt seriously any of you will ever run for office. Most of you just toe the typical liberal line. 7/4/2008 12:49:58 PM |

As posted in soap box:
Well he did what he could with what he had now didn't he?
Let's see...advancing the interests of big tobacco, retarding the advance of civil rights, stopping a hate crime bill here or a judicial appointment there, stalling as much as possible any work on AIDS. A pretty respectable body of work in his own little killing field.
Hate and intolerance doesn't give you a soldier's honorable goodbye...although as mentioned I respect his service as a senator and I obviously don't rejoice anyone dying. 7/4/2008 12:51:38 PM |

Soon after the Senate vote on the Confederate flag insignia, Sen. Jesse Helms (R.-N.C.) ran into Mosely-Braun in a Capitol elevator. Helms turned to his friend, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R.-Utah), and said, "Watch me make her cry. I'm going to make her cry. I'm going to sing 'Dixie' until she cries." He then proceeded to sing the song about the good life during slavery to Mosely-Braun (Gannett News Service, 9/2/93; Time, 8/16/93). 7/4/2008 1:23:41 PM |
