Select menus are bad, but multiple select menus are a new level of anti-user hostility. With single select at least you can use the keyboard; with multiple select you're in for keyboard-plus-mouse-plus-squinting pain, and a real possibility of screwing it up and having to start again.
I run a site where user input often takes the form of long select menus. I'm typically dead against javascript "helpers", but this is a use case that just screams for ajax and dynamic field munging. I still haven't gotten around to doing it, though...
