I had to grow up with this fuckwad low life piece of shit "editorializing" on WRAL in Raleigh, NC. My Nixon loving dad turning it up so that it echoed his spitting hatred and ignorance throughout the house.

My nazi-conservative brother (who stole 50K from my grandparents)worked on his campaign. Helms was a racist homophobe who represented the WORST in conservatism.

One time I was at Kerr Lake in NC, we were just arriving and I look over and there he stood, unloading his station wagon...in Burmuda shorts...I turned to say something and my friend stopped me (because his dad's place we were skiing at that weekend was next door to the lowlife...association might have busted his dad for what I was going to say)

That's OK, one look at my long hair and tattered jeans told him I was not a friend...

The best quote about him is:

“Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich were shaking hands congratulating themselves on the introduction of an anti-gay bill in Congress. If it passes, they won't be able to shake hands, because it will then be illegal for a prick to touch an asshole.”

GOOD RIDDENCE you PRICK....If I believed in hell I'd say that's where it would be appropriate you belong....otherwise I see you coming back in the next life as a cockroach...not worth stepping on...anymore.

Amen! One less asshole in the world. Helms was smug, arrogant and polarizing. It's not always sad when somebody dies.

It's funny how Huffpo had comments for the article about him dying disabled. I have to say, I havn't really seen much about his death on the news, I just hope it stays that way and somewhere down the road they don't start talking about him like he was a human being.

This low life piece of shit may have croaked but his phobic and racist assed views will live on in some on this planet...I bet Sally Kern cried at the news...

Fuck him..More air for me

I'm surprised that he wasn't talked up more like Falwell was last year. Helms' negative impact culturally was just as destructive IMHO, he represented evrything that was wrong with the south and with his wing of the conservative movement. The Boston Globe had his obit on the front page calling him a "courtly yet polarizing figure." I really, really hate the fact that somebody literally has to be a mass murderer for the media or the general concensus to just break down and say "You know what? He was an asshole. He's surely on a spit in hell at this moment and we're all glad he's dead."

lol, I recall when even * avoided him after a State of the Union address..2003 I think,...Pat Buchanon was on the phone with MSNBC after the critter ceased and said very little, repeated "polorizing" a few times...
