Helms still blunt in retirement

Jesse Helms, writing with the same passion that made him the archconservative of the U.S. Senate for 30 years, renews his criticism of abortion in a memoir being published this week, comparing it to both the Holocaust and the Sept. 11 attacks.

Helms devotes an entire chapter to his views on race relations, defending his record challenging most of the nation's civil rights legislation as a 1960s television commentator and as a senator.

"I felt that the citizens of my community, my state and my region of the country were being battered by this new form of bigotry," he wrote. "I simply could not stay silent in the face of this assault -- and I didn't."

bigotry? yet again :wtf:

.

I don't believe in hell but I do believe there will be a special place for people like him or possibly he'll just be reincarnated as the cockroach he is

And it rhymes with it. :grr:

had departed this world. Sometimes, there is no justice.

You're thinking of Strom Thurmond.
