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.
