What Was She Thinking?

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Wacky, Tacky & True > Politik

dole.jpg

North Carolina's Republican Senator Elizabeth Dole introduced an amendment to name an HIV/AIDS relief bill after her predecessor, the recently deceased Jesse Helms.

Say what???? Is this bitch hopped up on meds and totally cuhrazeee?????

Helms was a foe of HIV/AIDS prevention, research and treatment. And that's putting it mildly!

Here are some highlights from Helms' notable moments in AIDS relief:

Jesse Helms, the man who in 1987 described AIDS prevention literature as "so obscene, so revolting, I may throw up."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 1988 vigorously opposed the Kennedy-Hatch AIDS research bill, saying, "There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 1995 said (in opposition to refunding the Ryan White Act) that the government should spend less on people with AIDS because they got sick due to their "deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct."

Jesse Helms, the man who in 2002 announced that he'd changed his mind about AIDS funding for Africa, but not for American gays, because homosexuality "is the primary cause of the doubling and redoubling of AIDS cases in the United States."

Is Senator Dole going out of her way to insult the honorable work of AIDS researchers and activists?

If we were a citizen of North Carolina, we'd be concerned/embarrassed that Lizzie Dole was our rep.

Smells like someone with bad judgement to us!

    Hate to break the news to you P but I would venture to guess that quite a few people do think that the act of sodomy is 'disgusting' and would make them 'want to vomit' as a result. You're talking about sticking something up one's rectum, which technically is not built incoming traffic so to speak. This is simple anatomy. This does NOT mean I'm a "hater" just pointing out the obvious, just because there's an activity you enjoy does not mean that everyone is obliged to think it's great too.

    Re: Brdg – THE TRUTH IS IT IS HARD AT FIRST
    IT CAN DESTROY RELATIONSHIPS BUT IN THE LONG RUN IT PANS OUT BETTER. SECRETS LIKE THAT WILL EAT YOU ALIVE! YOU SHOULD TELL EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY BE BREAKING A TRUST IT WILL BE THEREPUTIC. IT WILL BE BETTER FOR HER. IF DAVE HAS CHILDREN OR EVER DOES IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU TELL HIM. THOUGH THIS WILL BE VERY HARD YOU MUST TAKE THE BRUNT OF BREAKING THE CYCLE. I KNOW I AM AN ASS ON HERE SOMETIMES BUT YOU SEEM TO BE GENUINELY REACHING OUT AND I AM SPEAING FROM EXPERIENCE. STAY STRONG!

    Actually, Perez, if you think about it — it's pretty funny! What better way to piss off Jesse Helm (who now, hopefully, is merrily roasting in hell) than to name an HIV/AIDs bill after him? Here in Upstate New York, there is a small women's college that was named after the husband of the founder — his name was Russell Sage and he did not believe in women getting an education; so when he croaked, his wife started a women's college in his name - with HIS money! (Take that, Russell!) Who knew Elizabeth Dole was so droll?

    Perez…….FYI, in the past 5 years of Helms life he came to the realization that his previous position on HIV/AIDS was wrong. He publically made statements condoning his past actions. If a man of 80 plus years can come to the conclusion that something in his past was WRONG, and attempt to make it right, dont you think we can attempt to cute him a little slack! Lets be honest, Helms, Dole, any elected official in Washington does not have the power to give anyone HIV/AIDS, only those that are sexually irresponsible can do that. GAY or STRAIGHT. Liddy, wanting to use Helms name on a bill might be pushing the envelope a tad but, when your 80 Perez I sure hope nothing you have said/posted on your website come back to haunt you!

    Though Dole is a Republican to the core, voting about 90% similar to our current Pres… she isn't always an idiot.

    Anyone who ran the National Red Cross from 91-99 is probaby a pretty smart cookie on ocassion.

    I'm willing to bet she's just giving Helms a political middle finger.

    I'm from NC and I'm liberal and I'm not embarassed or concerned at all… think of the irony….

    The first documented case of Aids was diagnosed in 1969.Scientist will never figure out how it spread but it was not just from homosexuality. How about instead of spewing all your hateful words. Educate yourself and raise money for a cure so we can stop this epidemic. People should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want with whoever they want. People should take individual responsibilty to make sure they do not spread HIV. Individual responsibility. I'm taught to respect my elders but what about respecting the people that are going to be running the country one day. EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED EQUAL!

It will get done, but I will put in time to figure out how to address it diplomatically. I will talk to my half-sister first before I move ahead. Thanks again. :)
    Oh and I live in NC currently and let's just say I the reason Jesse Helms lasted in office so long is because his views are very much reflective of most of the population. It's def. 1865 as far as "yankees" and terms commonly used for the black population. And it's def. 1925 for everything else, because NC is ver adment about being steeped in "tradition" and "heritage." most of us referr it to keeping up with the times.

    YOU ARE JUST AGAINST HER, BECAUSE SHE CRITICIZES YOUR LIFESTYLE, SO YOU DON'T HEAR HER MESSAGE. SHE IS CORRECT; SODOMY IS DIRTY AND IT IS "DELIBERATE CONDUCT". WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS INVADING THE BODY WHERE, NATURALLY, IT IS INTENDED TO EXCRETE WASTE. IT IS AN UNNATURAL PROCESS OF THE HUMAN BODY TO COPULATE IN THE ANUS, SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE THE RECTAL MEMBRANES ARE SO DELICATE, THEY ARE VERY EASY TO PUNCTURE, AND THAT IS HOW DISEASES ENTER YOUR BLOODSTREAM. IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO RAM AND POUND THE RECTUM WITHOUT TEARING MEMBRANES OPEN.

    REMINDER - Those with deep-seated homosexual tendencies are usually unwilling to examine the emotional conflicts that "caused" this tendency. Most of these men had painful adolescent experiences of significant loneliness and sadness, felt insecure in their masculinity, and had a poor body image. There is a much higher prevalence of psychiatric illness in those who identify themselves as homosexuals. Unfortunately, their denial, defensiveness and anger block their openness to seek help with their emotional and behavioral weaknesses. Male effeminacy is a clear sign of serious affective immaturity, usually where they failed in their childhood to identify sufficiently with their fathers and other male peers.

    NICE TRY PEREZ, BUT YOU FAIL TO REFERENCE WHAT JESSE HELMS *DID* DO FOR AIDS RESEARCH…
    (you keep trying to spread liberal lies—and I'll be here to squash em)…
    ********************************
    From WIKIPEDIA on JESSE HELMS:
    "In 2000, Bono sought out Jesse Helms to discuss increasing U.S. aid to Africa. In Africa, AIDS is a disease that is primarily transmitted heterosexually, and Helms sympathized with Bono's description of "the pain it is bringing to infants and children and their families". [75] Helms insisted that Bono involve the international community and private sector, so that relief efforts would not be paid for by "just Americans". [76] Helms coauthored a bill authorizing $600 million for international AIDS relief efforts. In 2002, Helms announced that he was ashamed to have done so little during his Senate career to fight the worldwide spread of AIDS and pledged to do more during his last few months in the Senate."

    THE TRUTH REALLY IS, THE GAYS WERE THE LAST TO KNOW ABOUT THE DISEASE. WE WERE THE LAST 2 FINDS OUT, WE WERE THE LAST TO GET HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT, WE WERE THE LAST TO GET MEDICINE AND OTHER TREATMENT FROM DOCTORS, AND THE TREATMENT WE GOT WAS UNPROFESSIONAL AND SLOW. THEN IGNORANT STRAIGHTS STARTED TO DO RISKIER THINGS BELEIVING THAT ONLY GAYS COULD GET THE DISEASE. EVEN TODAY SOME HETEROS THINKS ONLY GAY MEN GET THE DISEASE. ALOT OF HETEROS DEMISE IS BLOOD ON THEIR OWN HANDS. PEOPLE BLAME THE GAYS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN UNDER CONTROL BY THE GOVERNMENT AND HEALTH OFFICIALS HAD LOCATED AND DISCOVERED THE DISEASE MUCH QUICKER TAHN THEY DID AND IF PEOPLE WERENT SO DAMN BIGOTED AND HELPED THE GAY COMMUNITY IN SOMETHING THEY DIDNT KNOW A GOD DAMN THING ABOUT UNTIL IT WAS 2 LATE.

    I think it's an interesting decision, ironic as Is It says. Obviously it is important to remember that there are ignorant, pathetic, and prejudice people out there (like Helms) and that their opinions can be backwards and damaging. But the fact that Dole has chosen to use Helms' name (and therefore his legacy) to refer to an amendment that completely goes against everything he stood for, ironizes and parodies the opinions he chose to express in a society that becomes less and less tolerant of such discrimination every day. Go Dole! Hopefully people will realize that she isn't so much standing beside him as she is standing behind him and making funny faces.

A gay friend of mine went to give blood SOMETHING TO HELP EVERYONE and he was turned DOWN because he told the truth on his offical form and said that he had been with a man (he was tested and was clean) but the red cross put him on a NEVER ALOUD to donate list. Just because he is gay why is no one talking about this???????The blood is tested at least 5 different times and the majority who have Aids are african american and hispanic FEMALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gays should have the right to GIVE BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: hotki – Hi Sweetie, it's NonCyboY. Gee, I can't stand this
    worthless bitch. She's way phonier than most politicians even. Anyhoo, Gaetan Dugas was a French Canadian flight attendant who knew he had AIDS, well I think it was called "The Gay Cancer" then, and he would deliberately infect people in bathhouses and then he'd say "I have the Gay Cancer–and now you do, too!" He would also go into bars, or wherever he happened to be, look around, and say "I am the prettiest one!" Of course, yours truly here was never in the same room! Kidding! Anyhoo, if anybody knows where I can find a picture of GAETAN DUGAS I would appreciate it. I want to write something on him.

    I'm a resident of North Carolina, the funeral for Senator Helms was held right by my work and I've met him on several occasions. He was a gentleman to everyone he met and I hate that he gets so much grief, although much of it is based on his beliefs. His policy changed in 2002, which is probably why Senator Dole decided to honor the late Helms and try to put a good bill in his name. I'm not concerned nor embarrassed.

    I think it is a brilliant idea. The man will be rolling over in his grave for eternity. Pure and brilliant irony and the ultimate payback.

    Helms was a bigot and a homophobe. He believed AIDS to be God's punishment for buggery.
    Liddy Dole is an embarrassment that has done nothing at all since being elected to the Senate. The only reason she was elected was her name recognizability, ala Bob Dole.

    Blah Blah Blah….useless blather over senseless shit. How about anyone who accuses Perez of doing nothing, shut the hell up and practice what you preach. Everyone wants a voice and the next screams louder than the first, but the only thing that can be heard is nothing but bullshit.

    Hmm, I looked at all those Helms quotes and I agreed with every one of them. But I'm sure Helms is crazy, right Perez? Sure, butt sex is perfectly safe.

    She's cool…she is just like this obese woman sitting across from me at Village Inn at lunchtime. She was drinking a big Starbucks frappacino thing, working on a plateful of huge blueberry pancakes, all while she was holding up a bottle for her baby in a stroller, AND while she was nodding off. This was at noon. I figured she was probably on pain meds or something to zone out like that, kind of how Dole must be on something making her zone out and talk crazy shit.
