Patterico: douchebaggery that never quits

Pattycakes is upset because others aren’t grieving over the death of vicious, unrepentant, racist assholes he admires:

P.S. I firmly believe “TBogg” wouldn’t be this happy if the dead man were Osama bin Laden, instead of Jesse Helms.

P.S.: I firmly believe that Patterico is a vapid, soulless cocksucker who breathes new meaning into Samuel Johnson’s old saying, “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”

Of course, if I’m wrong, it’s easily proven. All you need to do is dig up all his old posts denouncing vapid, soulless douchebag cocksuckers who hijack patriotism like a methed-out wise guy to use it like a cudgel.

Of course Patterico, being the disingenuous prick that he is, ignored the prefatory quotes to TBogg’s eulogy:

“The University of Negroes and Communists” - Jesse Helms 1950

“They should ask their parents if it would be all right for their son or daughter to marry a Negro.” - Jesse Helms 1968

( …but he wasn’t a racist )

“The New York Times and Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals themselves. Just about every person down there is a homosexual or lesbian.” - Jesse Helms 1995

“Homosexuals are weak, morally sick wretches.” - Jesse Helms 1995

“Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade-school classes that teach our children that CANNIBALISM, WIFE-SWAPPING and MURDER of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior.” - Jesse Helms 1996

Confronted with evidence that D’Aubuisson directed death squads to murder civilians, Helms made it clear that some things are more important than human life. “All I know,” he replied, “is that D’Aubuisson is a free enterprise man and deeply religious.”

Assholes like Patterico are deeply averse to context, aren’t they?

Scott adds:

The symbols that stick most prominently in my mind are his use of the blue slip to prevent the integration of the Fourth Circuit and “whistling ‘Dixie’ while standing next to Senator Carol Moseley-Braun.

Just the kind of spirited racist scumbaggery that tugs at a faux-patriot’s heart.
