This is not random polical speech! This is material and ideas being delivered by the loved ones of the passed, ideas that bear direct relevance to the memory of the departed. Do we really beleive in the sudden separation of political and politicians/social activists as soon as they shuffle loose the mortal coil?
These comparisons are silly at best.

I disagree, but I'll use another example. When Ronald Reagan died, I don't recall any speakers holding forth about what an asshole Bill Clinton is.
And please--ease off on the exaggeration. No one is trying to eliminate free speech. You act like we're asking for a permanent ban on expressing these ideas, when all that's being said is that reasonable standards of behavior/decency would be a good thing.
It seems that with the Democrats, "reasonable" is too much to ask.
