| 2. Reminds me of my friends' view of Jesse Helms. |

He would say "Sure he was racist, but at least he was honest and true to his beliefs, and therefore deserves some respect".
This type of reasoning leads to the false equivalence we are seeing in the media.
SOME THINGS ARE FALSE. OR WRONG.
And any person thinking that they are inherently better than anyone else - anyone discriminating against anyone based on any parameter - is just plain wrong.
