I find no joy, as it may be, in anyone's death, but God knows that this world can only be a better place without his filth in it.

"There is not one single case of AIDS in this country that cannot be traced in origin to sodomy."

"I've been portrayed as a caveman by some. That's not true. I'm a conservative progressive, and that means I think all men are equal, be they slants, beaners or niggers."

"I've never heard once in this chamber anybody say to thehomosexuals, 'stop what you're doing.' If they would stop what they're doing there would not be one additional case of AIDS in the United States."

"To rob the Negro of his reputation of thinking through a problem in his own fashion is about the same as trying to pretend that he doesn't have a natural instinct for rhythm and for singing and dancing."

"The Negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights."

A politician said those things? And stayed in office?
