If this was meant to be a Strom Thurmond sympathy thread then it should have been called that. It wasn't and people are entitled to their opinions right. How is stating an opinion on the man's life and death offensive to anyone? I really don't think its necessary for posts to be deleted on this thread.
And I think not speaking ill of the dead is bull. Should we not speak ill of Hitler for instance? And no, I am NOT comparing Strom to Hitler.

I agree, right now people who don't want to speak ill of the dead are trying to glorify Strom Thurmond and to focus on all of his positive actions and forget the ones that aren't as pleasant for people to recall. While he may have done a lot for America, he was an actively racist man, there's no denying that, and if you want to remember him accurately and justly in the way that he lived his life, you ought to remember that too.
