	Race Matters - Jesse Helms, WhiteRacist, by David Broder
		Jesse Helms's announcement last week that he will not run for reelection next year in North Carolina.
		But the squeamishness of much of the press in characterizing Helms for what he is suggests an unwillingness to confront the reality of race in our national life.
		What is unique about Helms -- and from my viewpoint, unforgivable -- is his willingness to pick at the scab of the great wound of American history, the legacy of slavery and segregation, and to inflame racial resentment against African Americans.

		Their reports on Jesse Helms read like adventures in natural history, with scientists digging a woolly mammoth out of a glacier or a petrified T-rex out of a tar pit.

		Helms, still wearing his "D" for Dixiecrat, was perhaps the worst of the race-baiting extremists who wore out their welcome in the Democratic Party after America accepted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress," said Jesse Helms).

		Helms' clear showing of support came a day after another prominent Republican -- President George W. Bush -- used his high approval ratings to give Dole a boost at a joint appearance in a Winston-Salem textile district.

		Jesse Helms still has fire in his belly, but the flames are flickering.
		Helms once called female antiwar protesters “stringy-haired, awkward young women who cannot attract attention any other way.” Now he says that was “reaching pretty far and not something I would brag about.” He once suggested AIDS victims brought it on themselves because of reprehensible conduct.
		While most of Helms’ legacy will be based on his Senate votes and the ideological lines he drew in the sand, one aspect that ought to be remembered as near-perfect was his constituent service.

	CNN - Review: Documentary on Jesse Helms comes from the heart - July 29, 1998
		Helms and his most vocal supporters seem to feel that you can't go any more wrong than to be born a homosexual.
		A message that was sent by the senator to one woman who wrote to him trying to explain that her 31-year-old gay son did not "deserve" to die of AIDS (as Helms suggested of the epidemic's victims), is almost too brutish to comprehend.
		Another person says that Helms is "afraid of his own human-ness." The movie takes that sense of all-encompassing humanity that Helms has such vocal problems dealing with and gently shakes it in his face.

	Online NewsHour: Sen. Jesse Helms -- August 22, 2001
		I think Jesse Helms brought a kind of coarseness and mean- spiritedness and a polarizing style to American politics at a time when most of the rest of the South was becoming more moderate, more conciliatory, more inclusive.
		I also think that Helms represents a kind of backdoor crude conservatism of the sort that clashes with the Bush administration's attempt to look more moderate but then here is Jesse Helms who is out there in his anti-fl, anti-homosexual anti-abortion, anti-foreign kind of politics.
		Jesse Helms early was there talking about the need to reform Social Security.
