    No man is a "good" grandfather, father, or man...

    ...if he spreads the amount of hate Helms did. There should be a law against claiming a total bastard was a "good" guy in his personal life because there's no way he could have not spread his bigotry and hatred to his family and friends. Simple math--if a person does more bad things than good, they are a bad person, period.
