Murderer as in your precious Teddy. Man, I thought even you would know about Mary Jo Kopechne!
This sums it up nicely.
LinkNow that I've supplied my reasonings, it would be nice of you to explain why Jesse is a hate mongering fascist.
That is self evident. Are you not familiar with the man and his filthy deeds? He was a bad man and we can only pray America never sees his scummy kind ever again.

What is unique about Helms -- and from my viewpoint, unforgivable -- is his willingness to pick at the scab of the great wound of American history, the legacy of slavery and segregation, and to inflame racial resentment against African Americans.
To the best of my knowledge, Helms has never done what the late George Wallace did well before his death -- recant and apologize for his use of racial issues. And that use was blatant.
"Racial epithets and standing in school doors are no longer fashionable," Peterson wrote, "but 1984 proved that the ugly politics of race are alive and well. Helms is their master."
All year, Peterson reported, "Helms campaign literature sounded a drumbeat of warnings about black voter-registration drives. . . . On election eve, he accused Hunt of being supported by 'homosexuals, the labor union bosses and the crooks' and said he feared a large 'bloc vote.' What did he mean? 'The black vote,' Helms said." He won, 52 percent to 48 percent.
That is not a history to be sanitized.
