I think any reasonable mourning period has long passed for Hitler, Stalin, et al. However attacking recently deceased immediately after their death is just not cool. Regardless of what you think of them, assholes have families too. Let them grieve in peace.
How long is long enough? If I remember my history classes correctly, on VE day, Americans held many, many celebrations.
Actually, we could probably pull up some radio news from around that time to see how they covered the story in particular thanks the internet archive.
So that makes it better then? Not sure what's your point here really. Rush Limbaugh is not Hitler. Someone cheering the death of someone... it's just tasteless for no reason. If they didn't get enough of criticizing the person when they were alive, what good is it going to do now. Feeling superior because the person can't respond anymore?

There's small minority who see Adolf Hitler as a "hero" in his story. These individuals shouldn't restrict other's ability to speak negatively about him after his death, in my opinion.

show some respect even if you didn't like the person.
Respect is earned; not given.

Overall, he did say he regretted those statements, but that seems primarily due to people constantly calling him out on it rather than an actual apology.
Depends on who you think is an asshole. I don't really celebrate anyone's death, but there is a sense of "rest in piss" that I think when we are talking about dictators, terrorists, ect.
Now, if you're talking about people you disagree with, then that's a different story. As you mentioned -- the death of Rush Limbaugh. For some *odd* reason, there seemed to be a celebratory tone across many liberals when the man with lung cancer passed away gracefully. I thought it was very petty and you should at least show some respect even if you didn't like the person.

I don't know what exactly you mean by "assholes", but it is normal culture to respect the dead.

What's your opinions on mourning assholes who die?
I don't know what exactly you mean by "assholes", but it is normal culture to respect the dead. It is not a must to mourn someone's passing, but you must try as much to not speak ill of them, and disrespect those who are mourning them.
We are all villains in someone's story, that is to say those that you might say are evil are actually the good in someone's story, and to those persons, the so called "Dead Assholes" deserve a proper mourning.

Yall a bunch of grave dancers or more "respect the dead" type people?
Edit: I just realized the topic title could be fairly misleading... but it's a pretty valid question given Limbaugh's recent passing.
