Jesse Helms Dies

[myelo]

One of the best things about living in North Carolina was getting to vote against Jesse Helms.

That said, I met him and he was one of the nicest guys I've ever dealt with -- very polite and kind.

Wait'll Ted Kennedy dies- then we'll have a 100 post rot in hell thread. I think this shows the maturity of the liberal posters vs. the conservative posters.

Why wait. Rot in hell Ted Kennedy.

Other then being a right winger, did Helms do anything to make libs hate him? You know like drown a girl in a car while covering his own ass?



Wait, I guess that doesn't count....  Since most liberals do not seem to be bothered by this in Teddy.



So has Jesse done anything that will get a lib really riled up? You know like drive an big SUV or said we should drill in ANWAR?

Actually Libs don't get "riled up." The difference between us and you is you think Libs are evil and want to destroy America, while we think conservatives are well meaning, but they happen to be wrong.

Not to mention arrogant and self righteous.  Not like anyone else can be right.  They must just be "rednecks" or bible thumpers" you know, lesser beings in need of your guidance.

I read once how the phone records of the Kennedy clan house were examined, the night Teddy drove into that creek and then supposedly stumbled around in shock for 1/2 a day after. Well starting at about the time it would take for Teddy to stumble home the outgoing call volume from the enclave went thru the roof. This at so early in the morning. The car and the stiff was found even before Teddy reported it so you have to wonder had the car not been found would Mary Joe still be at the bottom of that creek?

  On the campaign trail;       
 Helms helped create an ad that 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 doctored to illustrate the allegation that Graham's wife had danced with a black man. (FAIR 2001-09-01, The News and Observer 2001-08-26)

                         Ya he was such a good man..NOT!

Actualy I have many democrat and Liberal friends so I know they are not evil. Hell many are smart, and most even own guns.  I just think blind liberals like you Carrell are stupid, but not evil.

What happened to the crickets?

How the hell did this turn into a thread about liberals and Ted Kennedy?

That's what Carrel wanted from the start so he could feel smugly superior to the "NeoConZ".

I hope Ted Kennedy rots in hell. He never did anything good for the country. And IIRC was partly the reason that we pulled out of Vietnam after we pretty much won it. Which caused the death of over 1 million people.

priceless

Oh come on- I don't feel "superior" to anybody....I'm a guy just like you, Lazs, Toad or anybody else. I sip my tea with my pinkie finger extended, just like you- I tie the sleeves of my sweater around my neck, just like you- and I have enough fashion sense to NEVER wear white after Labor Day, just like you.

However, I must say, I would NEVER ride in a Jeep. That is so like...Rat Patrol. (shudder)

Yeah, you don't get riled up hence the prewhine for Ted Kennedy's death and your hardon for "conservatives".

You forgot the liking the smell of your own farts part.
