One of America's most notorious race-baiters has died. Former North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms passed away early this morning at the age of eighty-six. Conservatives are eulogizing Helms as one of the most important architects of their movement.

Helms wasn't just a politician who happened to be racist, racism was his politics. He entire career was an extended pitch to the worst instincts of Americans. He became a conservative icon by skillfully harnessing the media of his day to stoke the country's darkest fears about race, sex, and modernity. Along the way, he helped build what we know today as the right wing noise machine--an integrated network of media outlets, think tanks, political consultants, lobbyists, church groups, and direct-mail fundraisers dedicated to rolling back the reforms of the 1960s and "reclaiming" America for straight white guys with money.

Jesse Helms may even have been world's first vlogger. In 1960 he began producing a TV segment called Viewpoint for WRAL-TV in Raleigh, NC. In all, more than 2800 2-minute Viewpoints were broadcast.

Helms used Viewpoint and other syndicated media products to establish his brand of race-baiting demagoguery. "Dr. King's outfit...is heavily laden at the top with leaders of proven records of communism, socialism and sex perversion, as well as other curious behavior," Helms announced in a 1963 edition of Viewpoint.

(As a Senator, Helms launched a filibuster against the MLK holiday. He also went to court to try to force the FBI to open its files on Martin Luther King, whom Helms denounced as a communist on the Senate floor.)

"Are civil rights only for Negroes? White women in Washington who have been raped and mugged on the streets in broad daylight have experienced the most revolting sort of violation of their civil rights. The hundreds of others who have had their purses snatched by Negro hoodlums may understandably insist that their right to walk the street unmolested was violated," he opined in a 1963 Viewpoint later quoted in The Charlotte Observer.

Jesse Helms is the P.O.S. that is the one that was supposed to die when he contracted prostate cancer same year as Frank Zappa. But that evil asshole that talked survived to wheel around Congress until he was 84.

p.o.s. in this context = piece of shit

Zowabonga! Git da incredible STONEFRUIT MEMOIR RIGHT HERE. Be warned... the rascal put it on a pdf file.

Also be warned... if you have fun reliving that train-wreck relationship you had years ago... well Stones' got a bit more going on in here than that. Maybe it's like watching a cubist train wreck. I just read 2 hrs. worth. hooookkkahhhh....

Hey Waldo,
Is this the Stonefruit of SC fame?

I've got a link to you on my site: when the food riots start

Having also become repulsed by everything American, I find little to say these days as well. Just watching the train wreck happen in slow motion, keeping a low profile and steering clear of conflict with the zombies.

There's so much 'bad shit' now--where do you start? Can't even stand to listen to 'progressive' radio anymore. Same shit over and over. And no action plan. No one is saying that this is how we ought to re-design our lives--which is exactly what we need. Fucking progressive radio is just another People magazine. More popcorn journalism for the sheeple.

And this dude even lays out a plan for prosecuting George Bush for murder. Now, that certainly should be entertaining enough for the sheeple. It'd make the networks a fortune. Better than roots and the olympics combined. Hell, I'd pay good money to see the trial--not even counting the execution.

Guess all we need is a fucking Oliver Cromwell. Is that too much to ask?

[BO]

Here's the real reason why we're all a lot poorer these days. And why we're going to be a lot poorer tomorrow. If americans would only take the time to understand this stuff, there'd be heads rolling in the streets, and we might actually have a future.

thanks, bro Bo. That one works. DLed that bitch. Mine now. ;-)

Long live Stonefruit ! ....and you other pee poh too. Shit, long live us.

Did I tell you guys? I didn't. I had an old tattoo revamped, got infected, had to have the shit cut out. Fighting with an open wound now. Tatto is fucked. Maybe. Hard to tell. It looks like meteor fucking crator. About an inch wide and a centimeter deep. Wow, used both types of measurement to describe a fucking hole in my arm. Fuck fuck fuck. 48 and not an inch smarter than I was with 18 when I had the damned thing done. Can't ride very good with one fucking arm. To hell with the tatto. It's the Zig Zag man with a rattlesnake wrapped around him, sort of. Very primitive. Just the kind of tattoo some idiot biker would have on his arm. The shit we do to ourselves....

who needs enemies when you have friends like yourself?

Na, just being hard on myself. I'll be okay. I miss the highway and the heat. My head is screaming for more. A lot like god writ from guys like Stone. Shit#s addictive it's so good.
