Dumping on Helms [John J. Miller]
The first sentence of the NYT obit:
Jesse Helms, the former North Carolina Senator whose courtly manner and mossy drawl barely masked a hard-edged conservatism that opposed civil rights, gay rights, foreign aid and modern art, died early Friday.
He "opposed civil rights"? Uh, no. He opposed a particular vision of them.
