And my point stands. I identify a particularly odious racist, who remains completely committed to his particularly odious views. You would never join in that attack, because the racist is a Repub, and you are a faithful observer of Reagan's Eleventh Commandment. Thus, you look for the worst possible Dem, and comfort yourself that, as long as that Dem remains as bad as any Repub then all is well in the Repub household.
I hate Jesse Helms, for many reasons, none of them being that he is a Repub. I know that you do not support his views. Yet you leap to his defense, solely because he is a Repub.

It's laughable to suggest that your post had nothing to do with politics. The only reason why you posted is because he is a Republican. I've never seen you post anything denouncing Byrd or any other DEM racist (and there are plenty) for that matter. So please kindly dismount your high horse and tether somewhere.
I am in no way defending Helms. I hate all racists, whatever their
party affiliation. If it makes you happy, I hereby denounce Helms, Thurmond, and any other racist GOPer.
And for the record, the only reason why I am still a registered Republican is that I've been too lazy to re-register. I am entirely disillusioned with the political process, and now comfort myself by pointing out the hypocricies that abound on both sides.
