Jesse Helms

I didn't do an obit for Jesse Helms because I couldn't think of anything to say. But others have.

DeLong quotes Hilzoy ...

I haven't written anything about Jesse Helms' death, since I don't like speaking ill of the dead. However: every so often, conservatives wonder: why oh why do people think that the Republican party, and/or the conservative movement, is bigoted? I think that the conservative response to Helms' death ought to settle that debate once and for all.
... and then provides a bushel basket of quotes from Helms and the conservatives who eulogized him.

Can we have some conservatives I can respect, please?

    Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
