Jesse Helms died today [7/4] at the age of 86. Reportedly the second most important conservative after Ronald Reagan (according to Pat Buchanan), Helms' legacy in US Politics will last a long time. Jesse's most controversial and long-lasting contribution to politics was the handiwork of John McCain's chief strategist, Charlie Black: the infamous White Hands ad.
Unlike other well-known conservative race-baiters, Lee Atwater and George Wallace, who asked forgiveness for their actions before death, Helms never found it in his heart to regret the nastiness he engendered. May God have mercy on his soul.
