When presented with evidence that Roberto D'Aubuisson, the US-backed death squad leader in El Salvador, was involved in atrocious human rights abuses, Helms responded, "All I know is that D'Aubuisson is a free enterprise man and deeply religious." One peace activist who met with Helms staffers to describe the murders of Nicaraguan doctors, nurses and children by the Contras was told, "Well, they're just communistsâ;;they deserve to die."
Helms was the worst of the worst, the fact that he rose to such high positions in U.S. politics is an indictment in itself. The racist supporter of mass murder receives no conciliatory mercy from me just because he is finally in He11.

        "Don't try talking sense to them. They are too filled with hate and emotion to think rationally. When Kennedy went down, the Conservatives on Propeller showed far more class and taste than the rabid liberals are doing once again."
        --Maybe you should refrain from commenting until you can demonstrate that you actually have a clue why he was so polarizing and controversial. As it stands, you and most apologist cons are just repeating the same tired party-loyal rhetoric. I think it's telling that cons aren't defending Helms's behavior but rather crying and moaning about how evil the libs are for speaking ill of the dead, blah blah blah...You don't realize that in 2008 what you're doing is akin to defending Adolph Hitler and it's sad that you don't realize that. You should be ashamed of yourself. ASHAMED. ;-(

  Although most Republicans are more moderate than the right-wing loudmouths, just as most Democrats are more moderate than the left-wing loudmouths, I am always disappointed that extremists find their way to Washington--mostly by whipping the ignorant into a frenzy so they all get out and vote while others are so apathetic they stay home--or by successfully bringing pork to their constituents.
  Helms truly was the epitome of all that is ugly in the far right. I don't believe in He11, except that I think people create it for themselves here on earth by their own thoughts and actions.
  He and others like him seem to glorify ignorance as something to be cherished (I also see that occurring on the far left, only on different issues). I only hope another just like him doesn't pop up.
