Jesse Helms, a vile, hate-filled, obstructionist faux 'patriot' is dead. Sickeningly being mentioned with Adams and Jefferson because he died on the 4th. Adams and Jefferson would spit in his face for the disgusting manner in which Helms conducted himself in his years of 'public service'. An embarrassment to North Carolina for 40 years.

Couldn't agree with you more Steve. The man was dispicable! Wouldn't be suprised if his linen collections were used more than just to sleep on! He was a total disgrace!

I would strongly disagree with your contention that Jefferson and Adams would have despised Helms. How did you possibly come to that conclusion? Jefferson and Adams were slave owners. Helm's racial views were probably tame compared to Jefferson and Adams.

Helms was not a hypocrite like many of these Democrats. Actions speak louder than words. Half of these deomocrats talk about race all day and yet they they would never put someone of color in a position of power. Helm's press secretary was black. In addition, he had another African-American on his staff. As I said, actions speak louder than words.

just read adams' bio--he wasn't a slave owner, and his home state of mass. was the first to ban slavery in the colonies.

jefferson avoided all conflict (face to face) and would say nothing, adams wasn't afraid to confront anyone about anything.

as far as jeffersons views--he felt that african americans were inferior mentally. matter of fact, unlike washington, he didn't free his slaves when he died-not even the mother of 5 of his children. his daughter did that tho.

as for helms-ask carol mosely braun how she thought helms felt about blacks.

Can't believe people disagree with this. It's like saying sticks of chalk aren't hard. I can see it now: "Actually, it is a well-known scientific fact that chalk sticks are relatively soft."

There's an old Armenian proverb that says it is bad luck to speak ill of the dead.



A few of John Gotti's acquaintances might disagree with you.













But then who doesn't.

Just a point of order..


If you say negative things about Homosexuals and wish them Aids..that actually isn't racism correct?

Isn't that just good old fashion hatred? or how do you classify that?

Oh no, those aren't racist. He had plenty of hate to go around. It really was remarkable how one single person could possibly have so much to offer.

He wouldn't rate yours that high.

I told you people this thread wouldn't be worthy of exorcism until BentMahPud projectile vomitted in it.

Sammy ain't rating anything. He is dead, after all. Leave him be, he's at rest.

Have a little class for goodness sake.

There were far more boneheads Adams and Jefferson dealt with in their day. I highly doubt they would spit in his face.

He was no Strom Thurmond.

True enough.. though even the leftover Dixiecrats found him reprehensible. More or less was a cracker version of 50's Nixon.
