maybe he’ll really enjoy Hell….

I loved that he had a black illegitimate daughter!! The joy of a life long bigot having fathered a biracial child makes me dance with glee. Lovely woman who was teacher for most of her adult life. Ol’ Jesse the hypocrite sent 25 dollars to the mother every month like clockwork.

Rot in hell you good for nothing geeze!! Yeah, America!

Hey Faith, I’m willing to give Jesse Helms the same about of respect that he gave African-Americans, AIDS patients, and gay men and women.

While working on the primary campaign against Frank Porter Graham, Helms helped create an ad that read, “White people, wake up before it is too late. Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the races.” Another ad featured photographs Helms doctored to illustrate the allegation that Graham’s wife had danced with a black man.

Helms commented on the 1963 Civil Rights protests, “The Negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that’s thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men’s rights.”He also wrote, “Crime rates and irresponsibility among Negroes are a fact of life which must be faced.”

Helms was “bitterly opposed to federal financing of AIDS research and treatment”.[12] Opposing the Kennedy-Hatch AIDS bill in 1988, Helms stated, “There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy.”

Helms once deeply offended a black colleague, Democratic Senator Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois, by singing part of “Dixie” on a Capitol elevator.

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

Having attempted, and failed, to block passage of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Care (CARE) Act passed in 1990, Helms tried to block its refunding in 1995, saying that those with AIDS were responsible for the disease, because they had contracted it because of their “deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct”, and falsely claiming that more federal dollars were spent on AIDS than heart disease or cancer. [19] His opposition to the spending was consonant with his long term anti-gay rhetoric and opposition to civil rights for gay men and women generally. Helms had declared homosexuality “degenerate,” and homosexuals “weak, morally sick wretches.”

He was the most vile human being ever put on the earth, and as someone who was raised by a lesbian, I hope he’s burning in hell.

I’ve earned the right to have that opinion.

Alyk kicks ass.

I’m just sayin’…

faith, you got served.

I think it was strom thurmond with the illegitimate child, but easy to see how the two would be confused. happy fourth!

I’d say “rest in peace” out of respect, but I have no respect for him.
Enjoy the heat!
