Jesse Helms, Reprehensible Racist and Bigot Dead at 86

Former senator, Jesse Helms, of North Carolina shuffled off this mortal coil.  As The Guardian has written: "To echo this newspaper's memorable comment on the death of William Randolph Hearst, it is hard even now to think of him with charity.

You can read the rest of The Guardian's obituary article about this reprehensible racist and bigot who  "denounced the 1964 Civil Rights Act as "the single most dangerous piece of legislation ever introduced in the Congress"  The article is well done and so well deserved.
