Jesse Helms’ descent into Hell
The blogs are buzzing with news regarding the death of Jesse Helms.
Over at AOL Ken Layne says: "Jesse Helms died today, 25 years too late, but the stench of his rotten career will always linger in the Senate, and over the South."
Of course the media makes him sound like some kind of saint. Obviously they have decided to ignore much.
In 1988 he said "There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy.”
In 1993 he sang “Dixie” in an elevator to Carol Moseley-Braun, the first African-American woman elected to the Senate, bragging, “I’m going to make her cry. I’m going to sing Dixie until she cries.”
He launched a senate filibuster against the declaration of Martin Luther King day.
Sen. Jesse Helms says the government should spend less money on people with AIDS because they got sick as a result of “deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct.”
“We’ve got to have some common sense about a disease transmitted by people deliberately engaging in unnatural acts.”
Sen. Jesse Helms is dead, praise the Lord and pass the biscuits.
