I'd Look Forward to Seeing This Headline Again in the Future...
... they've now run it twice, just to make sure you know where they stand—but rather doubt David Broder and the editors of the Washington Post will have the integrity to attach similar language to the epitaph of the senior Senator from West Virginia when the time comes for his remembrance.
I'm sorry, West Virginia, but it's an embarrassment that the Kleagle is still the state Byrd.
I tried to get on the Brad and Britt show out of the Triad this morning to ask them how they will treat the old KKK member when he passes on, ran out of time. I bet the papers won't even mention his Klan affiliations, filibustering against the civil rights act, etc and so on.
Posted by: William Teach at July 7, 2008 01:02 PMCan we look forward to Maxime Waters' epitaph reading:
"Maxime Waters: Black Racist" ?
How about Cynthia McKinney?
The ads Broder talked about in that article said more about Helm's voters than they did about Helms. A politician will only run an ad to which their voters will respond, won't they?

Calling Helms' ad against race quotas (aka "affirmative action") racist is just another example of how the left demonizes and delegitimizes policy differences.

Posted by: Tonto (USA) at July 7, 2008 10:38 PMHow recently has Byrd voiced his opposition to civil rights? If you read the article, it's about the fact that Helms based his entire career on exploiting racial divisions between blacks and whites, where Thurmond, Byrd, and George Wallace recanted and apologized.

He was in the Klan for chrissakes! He's involved with the murder of God knows how many African Americans but just because he faked an apology once or twice you're willing to forgive. That tells me more about how you feel about minorities than either Helms or Byrd.
Posted by: Capitalist Infidel at July 8, 2008 03:05 PMopposition to quotas is not de-facto proof of racism. If we were to be intellectually honest, support for race-based quotas is more racist than opposition, evan.
and that single ad is the biggest reason libtards love to hurl the label of racist around. While Jesse Helms may well have been a racist (cue in Maxim Waters or Cynthia McKinney or the entire Black Congressional Caucus for that matter) in his heart his actions in office never demonstrated that feeling.
We expect the media to laud old Lefties like Kennedy and Carter. We will never hear of Kennedy's character when he dies. We'll never hear him referred to as a coward and a murderer.
We will never hear Obama called a black racist.
I am so sick of the media. Helms was worth any ten Democrat senators and fifty Washington Posts.
