Finally there is justice in the world. Jesse Helms, that racist old coot from North Carolina is finally not breathing the same air as the rest of us.
His hometown newspaper, The News & Observer, published a joke of an obituary that failed to truly capture the level of absolute racism this man practiced. They described him as “cantankerous” and wrote that “Helms could be the picture of the courtly Southern gentleman“. As if there is anything cantankerous or gentlemanly about hating folks because of the color of their skin.
Not that they failed to mention the Helms’ racism. They wrote:
Although Helms denied he was a racist, his work in the Senate often seemed at odds with the interests of blacks.
Well now, isn’t that putting it rather nicely. Helms was one of two senators for the state of North Carolina, Helms represented many black people. So when his work in the Senate was “at odds with the interests of blacks”, it was at odds with a good many of his own electorate. The very people he should have been representing.
That’s not democracy.

And it couldn’t have happened on a better day - July the 4th! Day of Liberty, WOOHOO!!!
Wow- did you check the lunatic out that posted this on his blog as “More Liberal Hate Speech”- he really doesn’t have a fucking clue. It’s pretty obvious that he has no idea what hate speech really is.
That would be ironic though, wouldn’t it? To get charged with a hate crime for stating that one hates racists.
Yeah, I got a kick out of that. I’m not pretending that I don’t hate people. I just hate people for reasons other then their race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, or nationality. I hate for conduct, their taste in music, and their choice of favorite sports teams.
I posted as “Richard Nixon” on his blog and he changed what I said. What a funny guy!
That Thespis dude seems to delete comments unless they contain some kind of praise for his blog. So you could probably type “Nice website! Your website sucks ass, you clown!” and he’d leave it up.
Maybe I’m alone here, but I love The Thespis Journal blog. For a long time now I’ve searched the Internets for a blog that was dedicated to right wing politics and theater. It’s like finding a CD of John Ashcroft singing showtunes. Now that would be special.
Jesse Helms had more balls in his pinkie that you liberal jerkoffs have in your entire femenizied bodies.
Why would anyone (including Helms) have balls IN their bodies? That’s not the way it works. Your understanding of anatomy leaves a lot to be desired. The testicles (balls) actually hang outside the body in something called a scrotum.
I agree with ncjoe- I’m pretty sure that Helms had more balls on his pinkie than me, as I have never touched another man’s balls ever. Not even by accident.
And by they way, I don’t like to brag, but my body is anything but feminized (which, by the way, isn’t really a word.)
Well, maybe like a female sasquatch.
Schooly, ncjoe said that Jesse Helms had more balls in his pinkie, not on his pinkie. As far as testicles and parts of the body are concerned, something tells me that scjoe has had more balls on his chin then all of my readers combined.
Understandably, you pinkos fail to grasp the meaning of ‘balls’. Why am I surprised? It’s not in the liberal lexicon.
Sorry if none of us are as familiar with male genitalia as you are. And who exactly are you calling a “pinko”? I have about as much respect for communists as I do for inbreed racist hicks from North Carolina.
Rick said: (in a high squeaky voice) “I just hate people for reasons other then their race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, …”
Then this: (also in a high feminine voice) “something tells me that scjoe has had more balls on his chin then all of my readers combined”…
On one hand you hate people who disagree with pedophile fudge packers, on the other you degrade them…what gives little (man)?
They only one I am “degrading” is YOU scjoe. It’s not because of your sexual orientation. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest that you seem to be preoccupied in male genitalia.
I just think you are an idiot.
“I just think you are an idiot.”
Oooooh, that hurt! Hope you didn’t break a nail typing such venom. You neutered liberals make me laugh. You boast about your ‘tolerance’ when it comes to pedophile fudge packers, then use the old ‘balls on his chin’ remark to try and antagonize me? LOL!
A drop of sweat of Helms’ ass had more character than all you liberal pinkos who are celebrating his death combined.
Going for a jog now. You girls try and come up with something of substance that proves Helms wrong, and maybe I’ll reply when I return. But from what I’ve already seen here, your little one horse blog is little more than a cut n’ paste of the daily koz.
When have I ever boasted about being tolerant? I’m actually very intolerant of many things, especially idiots like yourself.
First you brought up Jesse Helms’ testicles. Now you mention his ass sweat. I hate to see what you have planned next.
And just to be clear, the reason I wish your mother had practiced better birth control is not because of your interest in testicles or Jesse Helms’ ass sweat. It’s because you are an idiot.
Actually, ncjoe, the burden of proof is with YOU. Please prove to all us “liberal pinkos” that Helms was anything but an anachronistic, hateful racist.
And, incidentally, I’m not a “liberal” as you have so cleverly labeled me. Was the only reason you call me a liberal because I disagreed with you concerning that old racist- because the fact is, you don’t actually know me or my politics. It would seem that you are just a knee-jerk racist wingnut.
I just re-read that nutball’s posts. Man, he has a real preoccupation with men’s body parts and homosexuality. I count 8 references to his obsession with men’s body parts and/or men’s sexuality.
I can’t wait for his next post- we should take bets on how many homo-erotic references he makes! The over/under is three.
Hey, it look like ncjoe is back from his run:

Schooly, that pic is hilarious.
Considering the fact that I’ve been critical of Barack Obama, it’s been a while since I’ve been accused of being too liberal. And I’m willing to bet one fluid ounce of Jesse Helms’ ass sweat that he doesn’t even know where the term “pinko” originated from.
ncJoe doesn’t have a mommie. He was raised in the wild by Jesse Helms’s balls.
