President Bush: "Jesse Helms was a kind, decent, and humble man and a passionate defender of what he called 'the Miracle of America.' So it is fitting that this great patriot left us on the Fourth of July."[here]
Helms, known as "Sen. No" opposed:
Martin Luther King Day (King was a communist)
AIDS research and treatment (because every single case was due to sodomy)
Civil Rights
Voting Rights
United Nations
The truth of the matter was that Jesse Helms was a bigot and a homophobe but speaking ill of the dead is just not done I guess. You can read about the real Jesse Helms in this article published by Fair and Accuracy in Reporting.
Much, much more on Jesse Helms here.

If there was a hell, he'd have earned it.
Bush would join him.
I wonder who gets his rebel flag and KKK outfit?
Bush wouldn't know a humble man if one bit him on the ass.
Hey Fat ass Dan, what is Adirondick going to write about your current and real ex clansman when he dies? The great Robert Byrd? Classy libs pissing on the grave of a dead man. Hope all of you burn in hell next to your parents.
Byrd wrote I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened
What did Helms write?
Helms never apologized for his defiant opposition to racial integration — even after the Republican Party he helped to build in the South had accepted it.
Hey Anon 3:59 real nice calling names and showing us your Repub colors that is why I'm an Independent because of people like you.
