Where do you get your "facts"? From the newspaper perhaps? That is not a very good source. If you knew him personally then you are entitled to criticise him. If you got your opinion from the newspapers then I am afraid you may not really know him. Dr. Thompson:

Helms should go down in history for just what he stood for...a bigot and racist.
