I would have been very happy to have called him a bigot while he was alive. And I did -- just not on this blog. But that's only because he hasn't been in the news since the web site started.

James Dobson in a speech to the CNP:

“The man who has probably fought more for the things we believe in than anybody in Congress is Jesse Helms, but he bailed on that one. Jesse Helms bailed out on that. $900 million to Planned Parenthood…”
