this begs the question, how soon is too soon to start speaking ill of the dead?

What an insult! I'm surprised that NPR would EVER put such a hateful and ignorant person as the one mentioned here, horowitz (a real maniac), on their air. What an insult to the legacy of a man that horowitz could never measure up to, even if he lived to be a million years old...I URGE everyone to write to NPR and tell them what an insult this is.

You can speak ill of the Dead anytime you want! Remember "if you plant ice, your gonna harvest wind", why speak ill of somebody who was a true patriot?

patriot is such a subjective term.

There may be more between these two than we all realize or are privy to, but I agree, it seems as though everyone could use a little more civility and tact in their lives. I for one wouldn't have said those things. I just listen when it comes to politics, those that speak out a lot often are met with a lot of hate, both founded and unfounded, and I get that enough in my job.
another question would be, if Horowitz had died first, would zinn have said anything negative about him?
