Brent Bozell III - Conservatives across America mourned at the news of the death of Sen. Jesse Helms, a man credited with impeccable conservative credentials in the U.S. Senate, a conscience of a movement devoted to the defeat of communism abroad and the defense of liberty at home.

It seemed somehow profane that Sen. Jesse Helms should have managed to depart this life on the 232nd anniversary of the declaration of American independence. To die on the Fourth of July, one can perhaps be forgiven for feeling, is or ought to be a privilege reserved for men of the stamp of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom expired on that day in 1826, 50 years after the promulgation of the declaration. One doesn't want the occasion sullied by the obsequies for a senile racist buffoon. [ more ... ] ... Source: dir.salon.com --- 50 days ago

Scores of people packed the memorial celebration for former Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), who passed away on July Fourth. The vice president attended. There were two planeloads carrying a bipartisan group of more than 20 current Senators. As I scanned the diverse crowd, I was impressed by the number of former staffers some of whom worked for him decades ago gathered at the service. This was a tribute to the fact that he was a man of unimpeachable character and integrity. ... Source: www.newstrust.net --- 52 days ago
Wall Street Journal - By Juan Williams - Jul. 14 (Opinion) - Republican leaders in the Tar Heel State and nationally would be wise to tip their hats to Jesse Helms as a man of the distant past who lived long beyond his political era. But the greatest wisdom will be to resist any temptation to make a hero out of him. The demographic shifts sweeping America mean that the key to building a successful 21st-century GOP will be a decisive turn away from Helms's use of the politics of exclusion.

Having devoted his career to shocking and outraging American liberals, the late North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms continues to provoke them from his grave. Progressive journals and blogs are full of Helms horror stories. How he tried to make Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun cry by singing "Dixie" in the Senate elevator. How he won reelection against a black opponent by means of an ad showing the hands of a white man who had allegedly lost a job because of affirmative action. How he never repented of his segregationist past, unlike Strom Thurmond and George Wallace. All quite true, quite horrifying… more ... Source: www.dothaneagle.com --- 53 days ago

On Wednesday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann attacked Jesse Helms as a "homophobe," and suggested naming a "gay-bashing organization" after the recently deceased former Republican Senator, as the MSNBC host attacked Senator Elizabeth Dole for her effort to name an AIDS funding bill in honor of Helms. Olbermann, addressing Dole: "Senator, you do realize that Helms opposed AIDS treatment, AIDS research, AIDS prevention. He opposed everything about AIDS except blaming the victims. And not just back in the blind panic days. As late as 2002, he blamed the disease on homosexuality. They should not name an AIDS bill after Jesse Helms. They should name a gay-bashing organization after him." Olbermann teased his "Worst Person" segment during the show's opening: "‘Worsts' is back. Elizabeth Dole wants to name an AIDS funding bill in memory of Jesse Helms, who believed gay people deserved the disease." During a plug before a commercial break at 8:45 p.m., the MSNBC host called Helms a "homophobe": "And in ‘Worsts,' the Senator who thinks an AIDS bill should be named after homophobe Jesse Helms." During the show's "Worst Person in the World" segment, Olbermann awarded Dole the third place "bronze" distinction for her proposal to honor former Senator Helms: But first, time for Countdown's number two story, tonight's "Worst Persons in the World." And the bronze to Republican Senator Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina. She's proposed ...
