		 I want to preface my reply: Helms was despicable, and I don't really have a problem with people who are grave-dancing. 
 
But, in a devil's-advocate kind of way, some of you bristled at the parallel between Helms' positions and yours.  "He was evil - it's OK to grave-dance if the deceased was evil."  Well, Helms thought homosexuals were evil; was it OK if he badmouthed them?  In his (obviously poisonous and addled) mind, what he was saying was probably OK.
