He eagerly blocked progressive measures in the Senate for years. Evil? Yeah, I'm funny that way. I tend to find those that go out of their way to inhibit the quality of life of others, evil.

Spyder reporting from the Carolinas';

When I came down here from Cleveland in 1974 I was shocked to realize that the Civil War had not ended.

Visiting my Southern girlfriends parents in Smithfield, NC I was welcomed by a sign coming into town..."The KKK Welcomes You to Smithfield"
.......oh boy!

Many people here hated blacks and Northerners. It was obvious.

Helms was from that mold and used that wedge to motivate these people for years and years. It was quite sad to see such limited vision by actual human beings. I found it quite refreshing when a friend was asked why he was here by some of these people to reply...."I just wanted to come down here to see what we won!"

But times have changed. It seems most people are from Ohio, PA, and NY.

Still in the backwoods, and there are plenty, these attitudes still exist.

It is not uncommon for politicians to play on people's fears to get elected or to stay in office.

Are you consistent with your criticisms of campaigns playing on people's fears? For example, if a Republican does an anti-affirmative action commercial to tell people that minorities are taking their jobs, is that any worse than a liberal candidate telling women that they may lose their right to chose(abortion) if the Republican candidate wins?

These types of campaigns are dirty, but they are common in politics. Both parties are guilty of playing on people's fears.

There's an old Armenian proverb that says it is bad luck to speak ill of the dead.

Maybe you could move back to NC and run for office.

Some people say one man cannot cause change. Others say that is the only way it happens.

As an aside, if you are looking to read more about other racially based career politicians, take a close look at Obama's chief political starategist, David Axelrod, poverty pimp extrordinaire.

Oooh.. Convenient proverb.. Can't I just get some jajek and more lavosh instead?

I usually stay out of this arena, something I decided years ago at ESPN when Repent was looking to turn me into the FBI for my socialist leanings. I have no idea what your point is above and couldn't care less about Obama and David Axelrod. My interest in the election is nil.

Helms spoke ill of the living. Find us a proverb for that.

I remember this, that was good internet reading, Morty would have taken care of everything Steve
