No Jesse Helms RIP thread? (anti-gay/anti-abortion, racist right wing US politician)

LBJ posting - oops

He was the co-architect of the Helms-Burton Law, which was designed to stop companies that traded with Cuba from being allowed to trade with the US. Probably the highlight of a life ill-spent.
 
He was an outspoken conservative who opposed communism, tax increases, abortion, gay rights, affirmative action,[2] food stamps, secularism, and government-funded healthcare.

FFS, he even opposed food stamps, did he want people to starve1

Sonic Youth's Chapel Hill

a-back in the days when the battles raged, and we thought it was nothing
a bookstore man meets the CIA, and we know
throw me a cord and plug it in, get the cradle rocking
ah, out with the redneck pig old men, and it's go

the hair in the hole in my head
too bad the scene is dead
memories in the shadow
back in time again

ah, I can't forget your terrorized face, when you cried for the shameless
wasted life Ameri-K-K-Kan, and you smile
so why should we run when we cannot hide, and my flag is burning?
we could be wrong but that's allright, we'll rise again

the hair in the hole in my head
too bad the scene is dead
memories in the shadow
it's back in town again

lookin' away it's another day, and of course we love you
radical man is the CIA, and we say no
we'll round up the Durham H.C. kids, and the Char Grill Killers
Jesse H. come into our pit, all ages show

the hair in the hole in my head
too bad the scene is dead
memories in the shadow
it's back in time again

This was a man who declared he was going to make Moseley Braun (first black female senator) cry by singing Dixie to her. He was also one of the most ardent supporters of brutal South American dictators.

Senator Jesse Helms irritated Democrats and Republicans alike in June when he was Washington's most prominent sponsor and defender of Roberto d'Aubuisson, the Salvadoran politician accused of directing death squads.

But senior State Department officials point out that Mr. d'Aubuisson is only the latest in a successsion of right-wing foreign leaders whom the North Carolina Republican has befriended.

“Nothing Jesse Helms did in his entire career will enhance America's national security more than his retirement."

Now that’s an epitaph fit for a cancerous cunt.
 
I'm beginning to wonder if they don't deliberately snuff american politicians on the 4th. It seems to be a popular day for them to pop off.
