Many GLBT people were sad to see Jesse Helms go
Not because they liked the Idiot but, "Helms's retirement was both applauded and mourned by the homosexual community. His anti-gay stance was well-known, but many homosexuals appreciated that his vitriol was so great that it drew mass opposition in their favor."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Helms

Perhaps it is time to use the hatred that comes from the Right to our advantage.

5. LOL
Watch a Freeper pick this up as a death threat even though Helms said Clinton might need bodyguards when he was down in North Carolina.
