An evil man has died.  I hope that God has more mercy on him than he showed to his fellow man.

Nah, I just didn't read the thread since then.  Its really dispicable, however, it still continues to prove my point.  All I did was acknowlege something Ted Kennedy did and everyone freaked out, but when people who did more than be born with a silver spoon in their mouth die they can bashed relentelessly to high heaven.  The forum has no class

You called Kennedy something he wasn't.  It was an accident that was Kennedy's fault and that he handled poor;y.  Helms on the other time was a lifelong racist, and his entire career was based off that racism.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that DWTL thinks he can lecture us about "class"?
I'm not claiming to be a classy person at all, I just find it hilarious that the people that tried to lecture me on class with Ted Kennedy have the nerve to say horrendous things about Helms now

The difference is Kennedy wasn't what you said he was in the post in the thread, Helms is every bit of what others on here are saying he was.  Yeah I know you agree with his racist policies and that in your mind makes it ok...

Pick and choose, pick and choose.  Obviously you can find no wrong in Ted Kennedy, and myself in Jesse Helms.  This is obviously a point that cannot be debated.  However, the utter lack of class in demeaning a man who has just died is all I could expect from you.

First off you did the exact same thing.  

Secondly, Helms was a devout racist and used his power to promote racism, to compare him and Kennedy is just insane.  I wasn't even going to really enter into this discussion, but what he promoted was horrendous.

It's a shame he didn't get to live long enough to see Barack Obama inaugurated.

Oh, stop the hand-wringing, he said more than enough disgusting things in his life to make up for all of us.

And by the way, dwdl I'm glad you've put the Confederate flag in your sig. It really lets us know where you stand.

Not to mention the irony of it, with him being from New Jersey.

Its the New Jersey version of George Allen...
