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.

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...

George W. & George H.W. Bush - Living proof that the dumbshit doesn't fall far from the dumbass.
