Jesse Helms Dead at 86

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:unsmile: Following in the footsteps of John Adams & Thomas Jefferson, passing away on July 4.

[DesertFox]

A very fine man, a lover of America, a defender of the Constitution.

Good work, Jesse. RIP.

[Penguin]

One of this country's finest patriots, ever. As LP said, how fitting that he passes away on July 4.

RIP Senator.

[Suzie]

Hopefully he can meet up with the Founding Fathers for a big celebration tonight. :patriot:

[DeclinetoState]

Wish he could have outlived Sen. Byrd.

R.I.P., Jesse. Thank you for all your good work. :(

[DoctorDoom]

Why is it that the ones whose demises would truly benefit America seem immortal, while the good ones pass on?

RIP, Senator Helms!</center>

Oh, Doc, that's what drives me crazy, too. Why do only the good guys die? Byrd, Kennedy (both traitors, in the SCOTUS and the senate), Ginsberg, Souter, Stevens, and so many others, go on and on and on. :flame:

Then again, if I were God, I would be in no hurry to summon these bastards to my presence, either. Anyway, you know what I mean. :sulk:

RIP, Jesse. You did good work.

Meanwhile, you can feel the love over at DU. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3381664#3381666)

[Maggie_T]

Oh, I can imagine! :rolleyes:

[Penguin]

Maybe later. I will not spoil my Independence Day by sending one bit of bandwidth over to that vomit-and-sh**-sandwich of a site.

Indeed. I'd rather make love to mouse traps.

But, I must go now, for it is the 4th, and it is time to light shit on fire and burn crap down in a dazzling displaly of pyrotechincal ability. For my country, no less.

[Naturalized-Texan]

Jesse Helms was one of the greats. The Senate and the Republican Party haven't been the same since he left the Senate.

Indeed. I'd rather make love to mouse traps.

How about the Huffington Post or the Fisted Idiots?

How about the Huffington Post or the Fisted Idiots?

Now THAT sounds like a bona-fide, fetish porn title.

[Beowulf]

Yeah, I saw some of the posts over at the Drunken Underground. :rolleyes:

RIP, Jesse, you will be missed.

[Taylor1]

Oh well, he was sort of a bigot.

[MSGT]

RIP, Jesse:sad:

[Riverboat]

One of my all-time favorite quotes was in response to a speech by Ted Kennedy:

Let me adjust my hearing aid. It could not accommodate the decibels of the Senator from Massachusetts. I can't match him in decibels or Jezebels.

[Naturalized-Texan]

Oh well, he was sort of a bigot.
ABSOLUTELY NOT! But, I'll excuse you since you're too young to really know.

[Incident_command]

Oh well, he was sort of a bigot.

Why would you say that

[Longhorn_Platinum]

Taylor1:

:unsmile: Yeah, according to shameless race-baiting liberals. But if you're as conservative as Senator Helms, they'll label you the same way. It's their knee-jerk reäction to anybody that disagrees with their bigotry.

[DeclinetoState]

According to the libs, if you post here you are a bigot.

Unless you're one of the few liberals who hang around here, like MaximumSam. But even then . . .
