Nice words about a white supremicist:

As an aide to the 1950 Senate campaign of North Carolina Republican candidate Willis Smith, Helms reportedly helped create attack ads against Smith’s opponent, including one which read: “White people, wake up before it is too late. Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the races.” Another ad featured photographs Helms himself had doctored to illustrate the allegation that Graham’s wife had danced with a black man. (The News and Observer, 8/26/01; The New Republic, 6/19/95; The Observer, 5/5/96; Hard Right: The Rise of Jesse Helms, by Ernest B. Furgurson, Norton, 1986)

Another racist bastard bites the dust. Good riddance.

Why are you “biting dust” at your keyboard, watashiwa? Need to change the filter in your AC?

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Correct.  Opposing racial preferences based on skin color or complexion is or should be illegal.  Mr. Helms agreed with ~judged by content of character, not color of skin.

If one wants to venture back over a 1/2 century, then we should include comments by KKK members presently in the US Senate, Al Gore’s father and Faubus from Arkansas who Bill Clinton took after.  Our own retiring State Senator was a racist based on many more published comments, but that “doesn’t count.”

Communism is evil

How about this for the first line in Jimmy Carter’s obit? Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States and peanut farmer, widely considered to be the worst President of the 20th Century died today. Can you hear the howls and cries of “Hate” eminating from the Left? Thought so. So NYT if you don’t have anything nice to say about the deceased don’t say anthing at all.

And the man ABC News now describes as a “conservative icon” (8/22/01) in 1993 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.” (Chicago Sun-Times, 8/5/93)

More recently, when a caller to CNN’s Larry King Live show praised guest Jesse Helms for “everything you’ve done to help keep down the niggers,” Helms’ response was to salute the camera and say, “Well, thank you, I think.” (Wilmington Star-News, 9/16/95)
