Comment: 
I only bash the south's bad qualities, like their love of iced tea, mayonnaise, and a tendency to authoritarianism (which, by the way, one of my southern-heritage and southern-loving friends unhesitatingly agreed with just a couple of days ago).  If you can't handle criticism of the bad aspects of something, you may not be cut out for the interwebz.

On the other hand, I'm inclined to agree with Michael Heath's criticism of Barret  Brown's comment.  Wishing a particular person had been killed can, in some instances, be legitimate (i.e., let's trot out Hitler as our case study).  But it's tremendously illiberal to say that, except when deep in one's cups, about someone who is demonstrably non-evil, regardless of how much one disagrees with that person's politics.
