Ta Ta Jesse Helms - Page 4

JWBear · 07-04-2008, 10:25 PM

While I can truthfully say I am not saddened by his death, neither am I celebrating it. I do, however, hope he is "enjoying" his first night in the special place in hell that was made just for him.

I am just a little sad that the old guard of racist homophobe is being replaced by a younger, much slicker version.

At least Helms' red neck was easy to spot.

Will the new bigotry be as easy to recognize and reveal as Ann Coulter's Adam's Apple?

Doesn't hell seem just a bit like a human invention? How else would we feel a sense of justice? Bad people die and that's the end? Impossible! Bring on divine suffering. Let us never transcend our fear that life is ultimately pointless.

Oh goodness yes. One of the worst human inventions ever. But I think you've put the proverbial finger on why people seem to need the idea.

Sometimes, the only way you can avoid saying something unkind about someone is to say nothing at all. I'm sorry for his family's loss and I'll leave it at that.

I won't. His family doesn't read the LoT. He was a public figure, deserving of all the scorn the world may want to heap upon him.

I can understand the notion that grave dancing is unseemly. If you feel that way, don't do it yourself. But learn the lesson of the unfortunate Helms, and leave others to do and be as they please, and not as YOU would have it.

He was a POS and the world is a better place without him. Now if Teddy will just die too we can all breath a tiny sigh of relief.

It's a shame I don't believe in hell, 'cuz I love the idea of those two d-bags arguing over how to destroy the country quicker while being butt-raped by Saddam and Satan.

I still hope he spends his afterliferlife as Shirl's La-Z-boy recliner.

tracilicious · 07-05-2008, 12:52 PM

He would probably like that. I bet the man was secretly gay...and black.

If he wasn't...he is now.
