Jesse Helms Is Dead
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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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!

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.

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.

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

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."

By f u bush2July 5, 2008 - 10:23amI 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".

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.
