I judge men on actions and Ted Kennedy acted like a coward (at least) in the "Chappaquiddic incident". 40 years ago is not an excuse. I don't believe in redemption.

And after this guy and his supporters gave moral lessons to conservatives... If Ted Kennedy is a moral authority, Ronald Reagan is a communist...

Nothing appeared hyperbolic about that statement.  It certainly seems like you were implying Ted Kennedy was a freedom fighter and Jesse Helms was a bigoted idiot is a fact

Well I do think that ol' Teddy is a big FF and that Jesse Helms is a bigoted idiot but those aren't facts. Anyways you have implied countless times that Kennedy is a huge HP and that Jesse Helms is awesome. How is that any different from what I am doing?

Besides there is more evidence on my side? Do you think that someone who went up against the civil rights movement, supported the tobacco industry and race baited people is a great guy?

This is odd. You're not possibly a Democrat.

Oh, you're ashamed of the Republicans, trying to make hay out of something that happened four decades ago? That makes sense, and I concur.

I never implied that Helms was the greatest senator in history or anything close, I did imply, however, that he was better than Ted Kennedy. Although with the bills Kennedy proposed, perhaps none worse than No Child Left Behind and the health care debacles he's tried for, Helms was a better senator and human being.

Democrats Sad Immoral "humans" who laugh at conservative icon's deaths, but then claim to be moral Americans. Didn't think laughing at Tony Snow's death was Moral.



Republicans Sad People who  to say RIP to the deceased from both aisles, but not are stooping to the levels of democrats.

DWTL, you’re attacking another for inapropriate reactions to Helms of Falwell deaths but you’re doing the same right now

So, you’re a pathetic hipocrite

And, following a comment about man tortured to death for being gay, you’re pathetic hate baiter

Jesse Helms wasn't a racist, and calling him one is very dishonest. However, Falwell was at the very least an incredibly stupid person, probably too dumb to be as evil as some claim.

Very sad news to come home to this afternoon.  May he rest in peace - he was a great man who truly loved America.

On the September 16th, 1995 episode of Larry King Live, a caller to the show praised guest Jesse Helms for "everything you've done to help keep down the ns." Helms' response was to salute the camera and say, "Well, thank you, I think."

Many of the positions held by Helms were questionable, but I would not call the man himself a racist. I did now know him, and can't judge him.

For those who think the people making Chappaquidick jokes have no class, keep in mind that none of us ever drowned a girl nor did we ever lionize a man who drowned a girl.

This wasn't someone with whom I simply had political disagreements, this was a genuinely bad person.

I am so tired of the argument by the retards that have been trashing Ted Kennedy that it's okay 'because they did it first!@!@#@$R$@!~J"

Seriously.. are we 5?

Who gives a flying f**k who did it first.  Try to at least act your age.

John D Ford:  So now we can start just assuming guilt of a crime and judge that person based on our assumptions?

Guilty until proven otherwise:  The Republican idea on justice.
