>>Again, we all die.

I’m hearing a lot of people on talk radio, and seeing what they say on messageboards, saying “you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead.”

Why not?

How about the libs who feasted on Reagan’s death? “Ronald Reagan dies, descends to hell” one was memorable diatribe.
Or, they can say that but we can’t?

"I’m hearing a lot of people on talk radio, and seeing what they say on messageboards, saying “you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead.”"

Okay, so we should never talk ill of anyone once they die even though we talked "ill" of them while they were alive.

Okay, got it. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. all died. So I shouldn't talk ill of them. And no, Ted Kennedy was not in the same category, but if you want to be intellectually honest, then the philosophy stands.

Once again, WE ALL DIE! So what? Why does just dying make our lives more important and our actions more righteous? Please, someone tell me why getting dead makes anyone more important, as compared to what they did while living, military/cops/firemen excluded.

Poor Hitler is dead. Should we stop speaking ill of him ?
