Lindsey Graham, of course. Dick Harpootlian had made a comment about Graham being a little "light in the loafers" to fill Strom Thurmond's shoes; then he had the audacity to claim he didn't know that is a gay slur.
There was no Republican senate primary in SC; Graham was the Anointed One. During one of their debates, Alex Sanders made a crack about Rudy Giuliani's endorsement of Graham by saying something along the lines of, "his wife kicked him out and he moved in with a gay couple and a shih-tzu. Is that South Carolina values? I don't think so." Even the gay rights folks had something to say about that.
And don't forget that race somewhere in the Midwest in 2002, where some married Republican candidate's opponent showed old TV commercials from the 70's when the Republican used to own a chain of beauty parlors.
It's not as rare as you think.

And don't forget that race somewhere in the Midwest in 2002 Montana, Max Baucus "pounded" Mike Taylor with those commercials showing Taylor shampooing some guy's hair in an old commercial for his business.

Well, there would be some regional differences. I can guarantee that in my neck of the woods (and this state's entire congressional delegation is GOP, save for one Dem - and he's a blue dog) that crap would be roundly criticized.
