So it's kosher to call Helms and people like him all those things, but he can't call gays "disgusting?" SMD, did Hell just freeze over? Did pigs just learn to fly? Did the Pack just win the title? You just a political piece with which I completely agree. Doesn’t seem to me that he felt any different about those you mention than you do about him.

I don't wish death upon anyone, but he won't be missed in this quarter. Helms was a no good, racist, sexist, xenophobic prick. I don’t wish death upon anyone, but he won’t be missed in this quarter.

Watching the American electorate elect Barack Obama President in November lilkley would have killed him anyway. It’s probably a good thing that Senator Helms passed away when he did.

Helms. I don't often agree with Barry Saunders, who writes for the N&O, but in Sunday's paper, he was right about this man too. It’s good to know others, like inadvertentgardner, and I agree on Sen.

And yes -- he clearly knew his constituency, but that concerns me, too. Fact is, I don't care how polite anyone is at a cocktail party -- if that's how they feel about their fellow human beings, I don't care to raise a glass with them. Attitudes do take time to change. Would that they would change a bit faster...
