Your hero........Jesse Helms, North Carolina's long-serving Senator, has been spewing his hate filled nonsense since 1960. He began his career as a Rush Limbaugh style pro-segregation radio commentator. He held this job from 1960 until his election to the U.S. senate in 1972. Over the course of his career, one of the few groups he hasn't offended is the tobacco industry. He's held up the legislation and political appointments of every recent president (Reagan was too lenient on Central American countries that leaned left, Bush was too moderate, and Clinton is a Democrat) and bears no major bills to his name over the course of his sixteen year career. Helms has, however, done everything he can to offend all sorts of minority groups with comments calling homosexuality a "disgusting, filthy lifestyle" and, in the 70s and 80s, supporting many of the white-run governments in Africa such as South Africa.
