wow I can't believe this has blown up this far. Yes Strom Thrumond did do/say some terrible things in his lifetime. Yet, he did do some wonderful things as well. He served his constituents, yet he was very racist (although he did change his stance on that towards the latter part of his life). You cannot summarize his life in a single statement he made or a single group or organization he was a part of (unless that's the government as a whole). My point is that everyone is going to have different feelings about him and we should respect each others opinions. His death should not be turned into an occasion for yet another race argument (we've had enough of that this week), nor is it the time for namecalling and disrespect. Please honor everyone's opinions. We're not all giong to agree but let's at least keep htis civil and not debate through immature remarks and accusations.
