Jesse Helms: Respectable Asshole

Jesse Helms died. And if you don't know who Jesse Helms is, he is:

No to civil rights. No to abortion. No to communism. No to the United Nations. No to gay rights. No to arts funding with nakedness. No to school busing. No to the U.S. giving up the Panama Canal. No to a nuclear arms reduction treaty called Salt II.
You don't have to respect his ignorant, stupid positions. But, you can respect his being a stubborn ass and willingness to stand up for what he believed.

Obama and McCain could learn something from this fucker.
