This thread is kinda interesting actually. My first thought regarding all the handwringing about the negative Helms' comments is that we're not at his funeral, so far as we know, none of his family posts here and as a result, any such comments can't really be truly "disrespectful".
My second thought, beyond the Osama Bin Laden comments, which I agree with - where does one draw the line between evil (Hitler, Bin Laden, Gacy, etc.) is whether the people who complain so much about those who are disrespecting the dead here have similar compassion when doling out the death penalty.
I dunno - those are my thoughts. Helms' success as a politician is partly what makes me doubt whether Obama can actually win NC... hopefully the state has changed enough in the past 20 years to allow a majority to vote for Obama.
