I see no merit in defending someone who is a racist and a homophobe. The man opposed federal funding for AIDS research in the 80's. While my friends were dying, he was avidly and rabidly attacking them.
Here are some winning quotes:
Oh, yes. Let's defend him.
F*ck Jesse Helms.

The is a huge difference between not defending someone and his actions vs. celebrating a death.
Those who are celebrating JH's death are exercising the same rights as the Westboro Baptist Church exercise with their inane protests of homosexuals. I find it to be quite the ironic comparison.
Jesse Helms's actions in life were aberrant. That, IMO, does not make it okay to celebrate a person's death.
