However, doing so under the pretence of "Blacky took your job" isn't O.K. I'd be very curious to know if any government mandated program to impose racial quotas in the private sector ever existed in their state.

You said, "...I'm trying to find something wrong with that ad," and I pointed a few things out.

I mean, the motivation of the ad is still part of the add, imho.

Are you kidding? We are not talking policy here. This was one of the most vile pieces of shit ever to walk on earth. Fuck policy. Burn in Hell you piece of shit. Helmes, may you and your family experience the worst that hell has to offer. I only regret that I did not kill you ass myself. Even if the media tries to sugarcoat his worthless existence I will not. Fuck Helms and everyone who knew him.

Do you even know WHY you hate him so much? Did he personally burn a cross outside your trailer or some shit? Prick your fingers picking his cotton once too often?

Judging by how uninformed you have been about Democrats, Republicans, Racism, and everything else that's slithered out of your rank Obama-crusted man-pleaser, I'm having a sinking feeling you don't have the first fucking CLUE about Helms' actual career either.

Actually, judging by the ONE source you provided and your pathetic campaign video where you attacked Helms' opposition to the tyrannical practice of INSTITUTIONAL RACISM called Affirmative Action, I'm pretty fucking sure you don't have a clue about your fellow North Carolinian senator Jesse Helms either.

Hey remember that big thread where people on this board argued there wasn't a liberal bias here? Yeah... That can burn in hell with all the "racist republicans," AMIRITE COMRADES?

I don't need a source to know how vile this fucker was. I remember every racist breath this son of a bitch took. I only wish I could have ended his life myself. He was the founder for the modern day Republican party and their vile media outlets.

I am just glad he suffered at the end. Helms puts new meaning to the good die young.

As he aged, Helms was slowed by a variety of illnesses, including a bone disorder, prostate cancer and heart problems, and he made his way through the Capitol on a motorized scooter as his career neared an end. In April 2006, his family announced he had been moved into a convalescent center after being diagnosed with vascular dementia, in which repeated minor strokes damage the brain.

Yeah you DO need a source you clueless cunt. YOU more than anyone around here need a fucking source for everything from how to post without spilling your malt liquor to breathing with your flabby lips shut.

For one thing he didn't "found" any modern republican ANYTHING since he spent most of his career as a fucking DEMOCRAT. Unless you're eager to prove how fucking stupid you are again to prove how he "founded" the same modern REPUBLICAN party whose presidential family celebrates their half-mexican heir and welcomed the first homosexual couple in the white house even as they elevated the MOST MINORITIES into higher places of power than any democratic administration in history.

You keep moaning and squealing with that BULLSHIT INSINUATION about racism and xenophobia in the Republican party even after you have been called out on that bullshit OVER and OVER again. Worse than your total inability to prove Barack Hussein Obama's abilities, you've failed to substantiate any of THAT bullshit either.

I wish you really WERE there to end his life yourself. Judging from your spectacular display of total incompetence in everything you've ever gotten into, I'm positive even the demented, cancer-ridden Jesse Helms would've tackled you, kicked your sad gangsta ass and called his buddy Robert Byrd to string your ass up and enjoy an old-fashioned lynching one last time.

I think I just might make a trip to North Carolina to pee on his grave once they bury this worthless piece of shit.

Jesse Helms Finally Dies
Posted by Harkavy at 12:08 PM, July 4, 2008

If we're lucky, he took some of his bitter bigotry with him.

Jesse Helms, an unrepentant supporter of unnatural causes throughout his life, died of natural causes this morning at the age of 86.

The only sign of moderation ever shown by the longtime North Carolina senator was his decision to stop saying the word "nigger" when he was likely to be quoted in public settings.

The death of Helms is just about the best birthday present the United States could wish for on July 4. Free at last — of Jesse Helms.

While the networks and most of the press will soft-pedal his virulent racism and reckless disregard for the First Amendment in his hounding of artists, foreigners and many others, Helms stayed his divisive course until the bitter end — at least until the end of his public career.

After building a reputation as a frankly speaking bigot, Helms ended his public life as a liar who whitewashed those previously bold stands.

In a 2005 review of a Helms autobiography and a Strom Thurmond biography, Michael Lind noted in the Washington Post:

Like Thurmond, Jesse Helms, a fellow Republican who served as a senator from North Carolina from 1973 until 2003, symbolized the white Southern backlash against racial integration and social liberalism.

Helms gained a political following in the 1960s as a commentator on Raleigh's WRAL-TV and the Tobacco Radio Network with his denunciations of the civil rights movement, liberalism and communism.

As a senator, he explained that he voted against Roberta Achtenberg, President Clinton's nominee for a Housing and Urban Development position, "because she's a damn lesbian."

When Helms encountered protesters during a visit to Mexico in 1986, he remarked: "All Latins are volatile people. Hence, I was not surprised at the volatile reaction."

In 1990, Helms stayed away in protest when Nelson Mandela addressed a joint session of Congress.

You would never know any of this from Helms's bland new memoir, which passes in silence over the Dixiecrats in 1948 and the civil rights revolution.

Even though America has undergone many changes since the days when the word "nigger" was freely used, it's vital for us to not ban the word. We need it, in context, to accurately record our history. Black man Randall Kennedy, author of the book Nigger, has argued that point recently in "A Note on the Word 'Nigger' ":

To paper over that term or to constantly obscure it by euphemism is to flinch from coming to grips with racial prejudice that continues to haunt the American social landscape.

Jesse Helms was such a radical that he was able to fan the embers of prejudice even when he spewed the milder N-word with malice aforethought.

In "Dr. Jim Crow," a 2003 article in the Journal of African American History about the post-World War II desegregation of Southern medical education in North Carolina, Karen Kruse Thomas noted:

During the 1950s and 1960s the [University of North Carolina's] controversial role in desegregating Southern higher education would be subject to radically differing interpretations.

To white progressives, UNC was leading the way toward harmonious race relations, while white segregationists generally subscribed to Jesse Helms's notion that UNC stood for "the University of Negroes and Communists."

Many black North Carolinians were convinced that the university would never overcome its 160-year history of excluding members of their race.

The death of Helms, particularly on Independence Day, helps.

And it's fitting that he should die during a presidential race that features young black man Barack Obama.

Whether or not Obama wins, the death of Helms and the ascendancy of people like Obama represent at least some sign of progress in America.

Oh look! IRBitch can't step up and defend his pathetic bullshit yet again and so we're treated to yet another dumbfuck video. Who could've expected you'd try to distract folks from your bankrupt ideals and your inability to articulate them once you've been SHUT DOWN yet again...

Oh right, EVERYONE.

If you consider watching me push a defenseless, retarded cripple down a flight of stairs over and over again "epic", then yeah, I guess you're right.
