As far as know J Edgar Hoover, long time head of the FBI was verifiably a cross dresser: <br>Considering that the standing President and cadre are all verifiable criminals and gross violators  of Human Rights, I would rather see them in drag. than tearing the U.S constitution apart..<br> We have senators getting Blow jobs in public bathrooms, and being arrested for procurement. Governors admiting to homosexuality.  If Helms was so undignified and outrageous to engage in the genocide which he did, he could well do anything . Don't be such a fool, sir.<br><br>What ever gave you the childish notion that politicians walk on water. Wer tend to expect anything from psychopaths.

It could also be said that is not true.  It is pointless to continue the discussion if there is no evidence. I hope Jessie Helms is being slowly eaten by hyenas in hell but this man who says he is a crossdresser can be dismissed as nothing more than a vicious gossip because of the lack of evidence.

However,speculation about Jesse Helms must include the facts...\"the real beef,\" <br><br>Be clear, he hoped the spread of HIV and AIDS would eliminate a generation of gay men. We must never all that fact, that \"real beef,\" to ever be forgotten. <br> <br>Asking if Jesse Helms was a drag queen is a joke.

If there is no proof of him being a crossdresser, i feel as if we are wasting our energy. The man is dead and his own homophobic remarks are on the record.  He will be remembered as a bigot.  That is enough for me because like Allen White, so many of my friends are already gone.  That is a chapter that is over for me.  I do not need to go around calling Helms a crossdresser if there is no evidence.  It belittles the memory of those no longer here. I don't give a shit if he wore a dress and makeup.  It means nothing to me even if true.  Most crossdressers are straight men anyway so who cares.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           ewe | 07.18.08 - 1:34 am | <a href=\"#54015\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"54049\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=58e56b16a7af360633199607d93ac2bf&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />All above is true but irony is still funny.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Ba'al | 07.18.08 - 5:23 pm | <a href=\"#54049\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <br /><div style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 260px;\"><a href=\"http://www.futureofinfluencesummit.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/fio_banner_260x100.gif\" width=\"260\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\"/></a></div><br /><div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/signorile/871014711374908447/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='signorile' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='871014711374908447' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
