You're right I missed that, but I think it makes my point better. I was replying to a comment that said "Those guys are American legends and deserve respect regardless of their politics."

I dispute that.

I'm not American. These guys may be American legends but that doesn't mean that they deserve my respect.

There are a lot of legitimate gripes that people around the world can have about someone like McCain and Dole and they don't implicitly deserve respect because they're dead.
