		<description>Jessie Helms was a shameful person. Many suffered because of his actions or lack thereof.

His inclusion in &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.RepublicanCorruption.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.RepublicanCorruption.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is well-deserved.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;indyjones Says:

The vitriole displayed here by some of you bespeak everything that is wrong with liberals. I can recall a month or so ago, when Ted Kennedy was diagnosed, how so many said that the “repugs” are going to use the occasion to belittle the man. Instead, I found that good number of conservatives actually expressed their best wishes for a recovery.&lt;/em&gt;

It&#039;s simple simpleton!

Kennedy is inclusive and defends the rights of all people!!!

SCUMBAG HELMS HATED AND HATED AND HATED!!! HE DID NOT BUILD SH!T HE DID NOTHING FOR THIS COUNTRY!!

HE SPENT HIS ENTIRE LIFE EXCLUDING!!!!!!!! PEOPLE!!!!!!

HE HATED BLACKS AND GAYS AND CATHOLICS, YESSSS, CATHOLICS!! GET THAT...THE SCUMBAG PHUCKER JUST COULD NOT STOP FINDING HATE IN HIS WORLD!!!!!</description>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are some of the most mean-spirited, hateful comments I have every read. Of course, it all made sense when I realized this is a web-site for liberals, libertarians and anarchists.
&lt;/em&gt;

Typical attempt to shoot the messenger(s) instead of understanding the message and the well deserved anger with which it is delivered.

&lt;b&gt;There&#039;s NO room for manners or politeness when dealing fascist, racist scum like Jesse Helms in life AND in death. His hatred must be met with equal hatred of his actions and political positions. 

If he were alive I&#039;d say everything I say here right to his ugly, mean, JesusMongering, idiotic, fascist face!!!

He did nothing, nothing, nothing for America!!!!&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;&quot;The evil that men do Shakespeare&#039;s Julius Caesar lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones.&quot; 
Shakespeare&#039;s Julius Caesar

So let it it be with Helms
What little good if any will be buried with Helms, the  evil which he engendered and encouraged are a legacy for which he  will long be remembered. He and the Strom Thurmonds, the Governors such Faubus, Ax Handle Maddox, Ross Barnett and their vile racism will long be remembered . What is most shameless is the lack of shame of their supporters then and still now. Please let&#039;s hope that they bury Jesse face down in case he isn&#039;t dead and starts digging he can dig himself to Hell. &lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>#155 bveritas,

You are a gawd damned liar or moron or both!!! Here is a quote from a political ad that Jesse &quot;A$$HOLE&quot; Helms helped write trying to keep Frank Graham from being elected to public office:

&lt;b&gt;&quot;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.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

bveritas -- you should keep your stupid a$$ mouth shut moron!! You don&#039;t know sh!t!!!

Here&#039;s another quote from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Helms:

&lt;b&gt;&quot;Another ad featured photographs Helms doctored to illustrate the allegation that Graham&#039;s wife had danced with a black man. (FAIR 2001-09-01, The News and Observer 2001-08-26)&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

So you see bveritas...Helms was a LIAR (doctoring photos) just like you!!!!!!</description>

Einstein was a Liberal, and hounded by the same mind set as the Bush administration of the time, the J. Edgar Hoover FBI.

You would make more headway with Progressives if you stuck to Facts and Logic.</description>

How do you feel about athletic and legacy set asides?&lt;/em&gt;
