[NEVER MIND SHE WAS A COMMUNIST!!!] Helen Keller Statue Proposed for Capitol AP via Yahoo! News After a walk through the Capitol's Statuary Hall on Wednesday, Alabama's first lady declared the corridor a "forest of men."

"If ever there was a superwoman that woman is Helen Keller. By her indomitable will she wrought a miracle, and when one ponders over her achievements, the brain is dazzled by the possibilities of the human mind. To us Socialist Helen Keller ought to be doubly precious, for she is our Comrade ââ¬â let us glory in that." ââ¬â Socialist Party daily, the Call, May 4, 1913
The Socialist Legacy of Helen Keller An Introduction to the Writings of Helen Keller 'In these texts, she explains how she came to Revolutionary Socialism after her graduation from college. Despite her reliance on intermediaries to communicate with the outside world, Comrade Helen Keller is fully her own person.'

Q. Why couldn't Helen Keller drive a car? A. Because she was a woman!

I realize this will make me look fatally weak and decadent, but I just can't find it within me to pile onto a dead blind deaf-mute.

This sounds like a "see no evil, hear no evil" attitude to me...

She was not a "blind deaf-mute" she could talk, she was blind and deaf.
