Ok, maybe that headline isn't very nice, or fair, or even factual since there really isn't a hell, but if there was a place with a red guy with a tail and horns, these two would be high officials. Jesse Helms was a despicable fellow much like Reagan, but didn't try to hide it with grandpa-like behavior. Helms was mean and nasty and had the same 52% of North Carolina mouth breathers vote for him every 6 years. He beat a Greek guy in 1970 by saying "Helms is one of us". He railed against AIDS funding in the 80's by ignorantly stating "no case of AIDS has ever started without sodomy" . He opposed a Martin Luther King holiday by calling King a "communist". He beat a black opponent by showing an ad with a pair of white hands crumpling up a job rejection notice because a "lesser qualified minority got the job". He threatened Bill Clinton's life if he ever came to North Carolina. But worst of all, Jesse Helms used to refer to all black men he came in contact with as "Fred". It didn't matter what the hell the guy's name was, Helms didn't have the human decency to even attempt to learn what he considered a lesser's name. Fred. His name was "Fred". If there is karma, you can look up and see "Dutch" welcoming "Fred" to a really bad place.
