Jesse Helms Is Dead

By talkleft

The AP reports:

Former Sen. Jesse Helms, who built a career along the fault lines of racial politics and battled liberals, Communists and the occasional fellow Republican during 30 conservative years in Congress, died on the Fourth of July. He was 86.

We do not speak ill of the dead at TalkLeft, at least on the day of the death. Keep that in mind if you feel a need to comment.

RIP, Jesse Helms.

I REALLY did not like this guy.

He gave support to terrorists in Mozambique, coddled every right wing puppet government of the U.S.A., was a complete reactionary on every domestic issue.
Still, out of respect for his family, I offer them condolences.

RIP, Jesse Helms?

Fuck that bigoted sack of shit. I hope he's roasting marshmallows in Hell with Jerry Falwell. The world is a better place now that he's gone.

Your hypocrisy is amazing.

Your hypocrisy is amazing. Weren't you and fu bush the ones bitching about some dumbass on the Carlin board not being respectful on the day of his death? I guess you both went to the Al Gore school of standards where you learned that they should only apply to others, never yourselves.

By bannedfroggJuly 4, 2008 - 6:49pm

Nope, that wasn't me, but are you really trying to equate the passing of George Carlin with the karmic plantation buying of Jesse Helms? Talk about comparing apples to fuckwitted, racist oranges...

Yeah, you love to talk about

Yeah, you love to talk about people "going too far", but how quickly you forget telling someone to make sure to let you know when one of their family members dies so you can laugh at them, telling them to think about you laughing while at their loved one's funeral. Your standards only apply to everyone else, you love to claim the moral high ground, but you throw low blows every chance you get. Your party is rightly ashamed of assholes like you two.

By bannedfroggJuly 4, 2008 - 7:38pm

Yes I said that. Fucking bastards like to make light of the dead in NO and the soldiers. I like to make it personal and turn it back on them. Got a problem with that? Go get therapy if you do.

And I never said anything about Carlin. Anyone has the right to piss on someone's grave. It's whose grave you piss on that's important.

Ahh, and let me guess, it's

Ahh, and let me guess, it's up to you to decide whose graves should not be pissed on! Oh, and it's cool for you to use the very tactics you are bitching about while complaining about what other people say, but only for you.

You are such a fucking hypocrite!

And last week Froggy and all of his mouth breathing pals were

breaking out the champagne because George Carlin died and were wishing death on other people.
You are not exactly standing on the moral high ground here, froggy.

Oh and your mother is still ugly as hell.

How can you possibly tell his mother & father apart? Is it the fact that momma frogg's mustache & back hair are fuller?

She was on TV today. They always show the Planet of the Apes on the 4th of July.

How about that frogg? He always takes the low road. LOL

You can't possibly be more

You can't possibly be more than 10 or 12 years old.

Big surprise

False morality from a phony soldier. But then we're talking about a slimy creep who follows a drug-addicted, Viagra-smuggling closet queen radio host.

Nice role model, Froggy. If I believed in Dog I would pray for your children. As it is, I'll just have to hope you don't take Rush TOO much to heart.

Well Now, Frogglodyte, That Would Make Him About...

"You can't possibly be more than 10 or 12 years old".

By bannedfrogg July 4, 2008 - 9:46pm

Yeah, that was you. You were

Yeah, that was you. You were whining about what he had to say, calling him a spammer, but now that you are doing the same thing the rules are different. You are just a typical lib, you like to talk about taking the high ground, but only until you get the opportunity to throw a low blow that is.

And always playing that race card I see, it really is your bread and butter isn't it? But it's gonna stop working once people see who the real racists are. It's fuckheads like you that believe that minorities simply are not capable of surviving with out being pets of the government, that sounds a hell of a lot more racist than believing that everyone is equal and the same opportunities should be available to everyone. Not offering extra to people based on the color of their skin IS NOT RACIST, offering extra based solely on race IS RACIST. Someday people will laugh at your pathetic attempts to paint others as being what you are.

By bannedfroggJuly 4, 2008 - 7:35pm

Are you ever correct, little guy? I made one comment on the George Carlin thread, & it referred to Ronny(Nancy, tear down this diaper)Reagan.

Yep, I see the 90+% of African-Americans that vote Democratic coming over to the darkside that is repulsed by them only a little less than Latinos & homosexuals. You may as well go the way of good ol' Jesse now, the right-wing as you know it is finished.

By Guy FawkesJuly 4, 2008 - 7:48pm

Guy

I can't believe how pathetically low frogg is willing to go can you?

Lol, so on the very same

Lol, so on the very same thread where you childishly mock someone on the day they died, you are going to comment on how low I'm willing to go!?!?

Sorry, but pointing out your blatent hypocrisy isn't "low", it's simply pointing out the obvious. You just want to believe it's low because it clearly shows how much of a jackass hypocrite you are. Lol, it's not anti-gay when you call someone a faggot, it's not anti-semetic when you call someone a dirty Jew, it's not racist when you call someone a nigger, it's not sexist when you call someone a cunt, but if I question why we aren't drilling in ANWAR? Well, I'm just a racist, sexist, homophobe that hates Jews! Keep that shit up and let me know how it turns out for you!

Wrong, Frogglodyte...

... if you're questioning why we aren't drilling in ANWAR, then you're just stupid, a slavish follower of neo con bloodsuckers. You should hook up with that fight4it idiot, he has a 'tea bag' he wants you to check out.

You may be an asshole, but I REALLY enjoyed your meltdown. Next time, though, could you wait till I get over to your 'condo' ( snicker! ) with my camera so I can get a shot of your head exploding?

Nighty Night, Sphincter Boy!

Keep taking their votes for

Keep taking their votes for granted and treating them as pets and they will see the light soon enough. They will see that they can solve their own problems much better than a democrat ever could.

That's the key difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals believe in government over people, conservatives believe in people over government. And how could you argue against that when a liberal's "solution" always involves more taxes or a ban of some sort?

what conservative government

...eight years of nothing but whine and rip-off...theres not a conservative thought, nor spokesperson worth the toiletpaper they're printed on. That bowel movement has about four months left in it, and some sucker radio company paid Rush for five more years worth.

"...The liborrolls don't stand a chance in 2016, because the conservative machine is so well-oiled, snort snort..."

yeah roight..

You would think black folks would be more grateful to neocons.

They gave them a chance to drown and lose their homes during Katrina.
And you republicans laughed at them and bitched and moaned about sending any kind of aid to them.
I think there is a name for that brand of equality.

An Honor That Bush Is Unlikely to Embrace
By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: June 25, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO — Reagan has his highways. Lincoln has his memorial. Washington has the capital (and a state, too). But President Bush may soon be the sole president to have a memorial named after him that you can contribute to from the bathroom.

From the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise, a group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is planning to ask voters here to change the name of a prize-winning water treatment plant on the shoreline to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant.

The plan, naturally hatched in a bar, would place a vote on the November ballot to provide “an appropriate honor for a truly unique president.”

Supporters say that they have plenty of signatures to qualify the initiative and that the renaming would fit in a long and proud American tradition of poking political figures in the eye.

“Most politicians tend to be narcissistic and egomaniacs,” said Brian McConnell, an organizer who regularly suits up as Uncle Sam to solicit signatures. “So it is important for satirists to help define their history rather than letting them define their own history.”

With the exception of Thaelaman,

you guys are just too much. It would seem that hatred, according to liberals, belong to the right. Why don't you people follow the introductory article that talk left does not speak ill of the dead? Is it too much for you all to show a little respect? I suppose not. All you are doing is giving ammunition to Bill O'rielly and others on how insensitive, vitriol and hateful you people are.

I'm remaining silent

Jesse Helms, flaming racist Republican dies


July 4, 2008

...

Helms opposed the Martin Luther King Day bill in 1983 on grounds that King had two associates with communist ties, Stanley Levison and Jack O'Dell; as well, he voiced disapproval of King's alleged philandering.

Helms' referred to the University of North Carolina (UNC) as the "University of Negroes and Communists." (Charleston Gazette, 9/15/95)

While working on the 1950 campaign of Republican Willis Smith against Democrat 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 himself had doctored to illustrate the allegation that Graham's wife had danced with a black man. (FAIR 9/1/01, The News and Observer 8/26/01)

Helms was an ardent supporter of the late brutal Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.

When Roberta Achtenberg was appointed Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, Helms attempted to block her confirmation, stating that he refused to vote for "that damned lesbian".

After a protest during his 1986 visit to Mexico, Helms opined: "All Latins are volatile people. Hence, I was not surprised at the volatile reaction."

Helms once claimed that "The New York Times and Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals themselves. Just about every person down there is a homosexual or lesbian."

Was he a member of the KKK

Was he a member of the KKK like (D) Byrd? Did he filibuster civil rights like (D) Byrd?

Let me guess, that was different.

I think Falwell caused more pollution though.

You left out Gore's dad, who

also filibustered the civil rights act.

You don't need to drag his

You don't need to drag his father into it though, Algore is enough of a jackass on his own. They love to call the republicans racists, but it was democrats that tried to block civil rights, it was democrats that left the union to protect slavery in the south, and every congressman and senator that was ever affiliated with the Klan was a democrat. Calling the republicans the racist party is just laughable.

republicans...the racist party

And you say, 'people of color', like its perfectly natural too. Your many african american friends find it endearing.

All these right wing clowns got is ancient history.

As long as we are on the subject, let's talk about W's granddaddy, Prescot Bush. You know, the guy who was a war profiteer and gave the Nazis war material while the U.S. was fighting them?
If you mental giants want to play guilt by family association, go for it.

OK, I Remained Silent Out Of Respect For The Man's Family...

... but now it's after midnight, so it's technically not the day the racist fuck died. Frogglodyte is here crying like a little bitch, but there is NO comparison between Carlin and Helms. I hope you choke on a Conch Fritter and die, Frogglodyte. That way you can go to hell with that bastard Helms and 'toss his salad' for him. I can't believe how low you will go... but it was fun watching you have one of your neo con meltdowns!

So. I want to know; how is it six months ago you were driving a port-a-john truck for the Army, but now you are supposedly some hot shot 'consultant' living in Hawaii? Your story stinks. You want to go off on others about hypocrisy, but you are a hypocrite AND a liar. That's pretty low.

I love how you faggots need

I love how you faggots need me to be lying about living in Hawaii so badly! I haven't brought it up for a week, but its just been eating away at you, hasn't it?!? I've posted pictures from my condo lanai but you need me to be lying so badly that you say they are photoshopped with no evidence!

Oh yeah, you bitched about someone ripping on Carlin, but now all of a sudden the rules are different. That makes you a whiny hypocrite!

So, You Admit You're Lying...

... Personally, I wouldn't live in Hawaii, that's for schmoes like you that think it 'makes' you somebody. I was just pointing out that you are a liar, nothing more or less. I never said those pictures were photo shopped nor did I say anything about anyone ripping on Carlin.

You really needed me to be lying so bad, didn't you, Frogglodyte! All you did was showed your hand, and it shows you to be the liar..

So, why don't you give yourself a distraction from the meltdown I'm giving you and explain how a socialist government porta-john truck driver makes the jump from living in Texas to living in Hawaii and becoming some sort of hot shot business consultant?

You don't really live in Hawaii, you were just on vacation, you lying sack of neo con shit.

First off, I do live in

First off, I do live in Hawaii, and yes, I'm on vacation, a permanent vacation! Secondly, I never claimed to be a "hot shot" consultant, it's a part time job, nothing more. Helping small companies trim a little fat isn't glamorous and I never claimed it to be. I made the jump from Texas to Hawaii by working my ass off my entire life, investing and saving wisely and having a wife that was willing to do the same. Anyone that lives in this country can do exactly what I have done, and that's the part that really bothers you, isn't it?

And where the hell did I admit to lying? The pictures had more than just my hand, did you miss the signs? The only thing I admited to is living in a sweet high rise condo with an ocean view in paradise! Quit making shit up!

Part Time Consultant? That Makes your Story Even...

... more unbelievable! And how, exactly, does driving a porta-john truck for the Army qualify you to consult small business to "trim a little fat"?
Any small business man that wanted to trim a little fat would start by firing the fat, stupid consultant that lies about living in Hawaii!
I worked hard and saved also. I live in paradise, in the foothills of northeastern mountains. Like I said, I wouldn't live in Hawaii. That's for dipshits like you that think it makes you 'somebody'! HA!

So, the part that really bothers me is that you are a lying sack of neo con shit that knows nothing about history.

ps- I know you, shit head. If you really were living in Hawaii you would have been quick to post more photos. The reason you haven't brought it up in a week is because that's when your vacation ended. I enjoyed giving you that meltdown. Now go away, liar.

You don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

Photobucket

And how did you get to the foothills of northeastern mountains by scrubbing toilets? Oh, never mind, any toilet scrubber can live in that shitty area. I fucking love how you guys need to believe that I'm lying about living in Hawaii so badly, it amuses me.

Bullshit, Frogglodyte!

Who do you know? You got some one to take that picture for you! Lots of people have stupid friends in Hawaii! HA! No sale, liar! Like I said before, I wouldn't live in Hawaii period. It's for schmoes like you so you can feel important. Oooh, look at ME! I live in Hawaii!! I visited a couple times. It ain't all that. So don't delude yourself into thinking anyone is jealous of your vacation. It's really pathetic that you believe people are. HA!

So, you're avoiding the real question; how does driving a porta-john truck for the Army qualify someone to consult small business on "trimming a little fat"? Hmmm?? Tell us, Frogglodyte

PS- tell your friend to shave his fucking hands, it's gross.

By othelloJuly 5, 2008 - 1:10am

Personally I'm hoping the Hawaii story is real, Not that give much thought to it. But it does make me laugh to think I can set frogg up with an annoying post and he's hooked for the day. I just drop by the computer every so often and annoy him and he's holed up in a room manning his post because he can't leave an insult unanswered. Hell even if he is out and about with a wireless device it's still hysterical. He's in Hawaii and we consume his time like this. LOL

You shotgun up posts like

You shotgun up posts like mtmeggido and you fucking live on AAR, if anyone "drops by every so often" it's me, it sure as hell isn't you. Lol, look at the times on the posts, I have 4 or 5 every hour or so, you have 4 or 5 every 4 or 5 minutes, you really are quite pathetic, you stay up posting until 3 in the morning and get up to start posting again at 9 the next morning. Do you even have a job?

I think you need to rest that bloodclot of yours, baggedfinn

Bush strong armed Canada into not accepting deserters. Now Canada is rethinking that decision.

Canada ruling boosts US deserter
By Lee Carter
BBC News, Toronto
Saturday, 5 July 2008 01:47 UK

A Canadian court has ordered the country's refugee board to re-examine an American deserter's rejected attempt for asylum in Canada.

The court ruled that the board made mistakes when it turned down Joshua Key's claim for asylum.
Mr Key served in Iraq in 2003 before deserting to Canada with his family while on leave in the US.

The ruling could affect scores of other US soldiers sheltering in Canada who have refused to fight in Iraq.
Possible deportations

Joshua Key served in Iraq as a US combat engineer in Iraq in 2003.

He claims that he witnessed several cases of abusive acts against civilians and the killing of innocent people.
While on leave at home in Oklahoma, he decided that he would not return to duty and took his family to Canada where he applied for asylum.

Although the Canadian refugee board found Mr Key credible, it rejected his application, saying that unless his claims of abuse constituted a war crime, they did not justify his desertion from the US army.

In its ruling, the federal court has disagreed with that analysis, saying that being forced to participate in military misconduct, even if it stops short of a war crime, may support a claim to protection in Canada.

There are at least 200 American war deserters in Canada and many face deportation after their asylum cases were also rejected.

Joshua Key's lawyer said that the ruling may help their cases.

...

I can't believe these right wingers

They stoop to the lowest levels...

It's actually no surprise that Helms liked Pinochet

Pinochet was a puppet put in place by the republicans. When things took a bad turn for Pinochet you could hear the collective groan of the republicans. All except Bush. I think he just asked "who's that?"

No one can say we are disrespectful

Only three people were tortured right?

Let's have a moment of silence

And reflect on how bigoted republicans are...

Exactly how is it American

Exactly how is it American Citizens can continually elect the worst candidate to office of whatever office is up for election? How much stench will Ted Kennedy leave behind?

Nice baiting fu bush!

I wonder why you need to create a divesion fubush? Could it be that your other personality is showing what a jackass you are?

So what was Hitler right about? Strict gun control laws? Government run health care? Euthanasia, abortion? Redistribution of wealth with a lopsided tax system? Government run industry? What part of the National Socialist Party do you agree with the most?

Isn't it true?

You people are pathetic.

I just hope that someday you all grow up enough to be ashamed of the way you act. Seriously, mocking someone on the day they died just to piss of someone that you will never even meet just days after crying foul for someone else doing the exact same, and you are proud of this? This is something you brag about? WOW. I honestly hope that someday you aren't filled with as much hatred as you obviously are today.

You can call me names if you want to, that doesn't bother me because I'll call you jackasses names too, but you guys are just the lowest of the low and your party is justly ashamed of assholes like you. It's assholes like you that will cost the democrats the White House. (Oh yeah, if you're gonna call me names, make sure you call me in paradise, because that's where I'll be!)

Oh, my fucking Christ

froggs going to tell us how the Nazi's weren't fascist again.

What a dope. And he has no respect for the dead...

You know it was so embarrassing

Back when frogg didn't know his history of the Nazi's being fascists. I thought we'd drop it because it made him look so painfully stupid. Why does he keep bringing it up?

By bannedfrogg May 28, 2008 - 11:46pm:

LOL, I think you are thinking of Nazis, the Fascists were from Italy you dipshit! Two different and separate movements dumbass.

If Italy had stayed out of

If Italy had stayed out of World War II you would speak of Fascism lovingly, just like FDR did before the war. Liberals loved Mussolini's policies, they still do but they just refuse to associate them with him. I know history, it is you that refuses to recognize your movement's roots.

So the Fascist party of

So the Fascist party of Italy, the founders of fascism, was anti-socialist at it's roots, but at the same time the National Socialist Party was Fascist. Yeah, that makes sense. One was based on nation, the other based on race, but they were the same movement. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. One was a poor form of government, the other was pure evil, but they are the same. Right on!

The only similarities between Nazism and Fascism was their left wing policies on nearly every issue.

Jeezus, more neocon pretzel logic from frog.

Hey numbnuts, don't try to teach history here, because it is painfully obvious you don't know a damned thing about it.
The policies that the fascist movements adopted had already been in place throughout Europe since the end of the 19th century. Universal healthcare, worker's compensation, public education, etc. were instituted by conservatives and leftists alike because they wanted their nations strong and united.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was Germany's monarch in 1914. He expanded government programs throughout the Reich. Now how would you pigeonhole him, dimwit? Was he a socialist?
Winston Churchill championed the same programs for the British people. He must have been a Nazi.
As far as gun control is concerned, that was a European tradition since firearms were invented. It wasn't invented by liberals, socialists, or fascists.
Try reading some real history, dummy. Don't regurgitate right wing fascist propaganda.

We should celebrate Helm's life

Helm's enjoyed being a racist. To argue about it is disrespectful.

frogg is such a tool

I remember we used to be more "respectful" Most of us are when we are not on this blog. But many f us got sick and tired of seeing these right wing trolls show up here and show no respect.

For me the breaking point was when Rush called the troops phony and the trolls thought that was just fine.

It's pretty obvious to everyone that we are enjoying giving the right wingers a taste of their own medicine. I for example love telling trolls that I will laugh my ass off when their family members die when I see one making light of the death in New Orleans. Of course that isn't true but I feel I ned to do this. These people need to learn.

So frogg tried to set up a morality lesson. He came in here and tried to play it nice by talking nice about Carlin and ripping on right wing trolls that weren't "respectful". And now he claims Guy and I are hypocrites because we did the same on Carlin and now we are pointing out Helm's racism. But I don't recall telling people on the Carlin thread that they should be more respectful. Why would I do that? Trolls are a waste of time. You can't tell them to be respectful. They feed off of that so I wouldn't do that. But frogg has this fantasy that that is what happened. To me it just speaks volumes to let the posts of right wingers about Carlin just sit there in the open for all to read. When we point out Helm's was a racist and people read that they have to say "you know he really was."

frogg doesn't know about the other thread

The one that turned into a frogg bashing thread. LMAO!

I have trouble telling the trolls apart.

Not one of them has an original thought, they just read their master's talking points for the week and start repeating them like a parrot on benzedrine.
Sometimes I think everyone of them are the sock puppets of one really dumb guy.
As far as civility goes, yeah there were a couple that weren't bad, like kill whitey, but most of them are so mentally unstable that they pitch a fit or post something totally inappropriate as soon as you disagree with them.
Anyway, troll bashing is a bit more fun than " civility".

By thaelmann37July 5, 2008 - 10:59am

It's like there are two levels of conversation going on. The one where we share information and discuss. And then the little bits of bait we drop for the trolls to go apoplectic over. The best part is hey don't even see the difference.

Now now, FUB...
