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.

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.
Genocide.
