It's one thing for a person to say, "You know, I disagreed with alot of his policies, and I think overall, he was a bad president" and it is quite something to say the shit Radar said about spitting on his grave, and going to hell (which Radar doesn't believe in in the first place).

I'm not Radar, so I won't speak for him. If it were me, I'd wait at least a week out of respect for the family before urinating on Reagan's grave. At LEAST. A dump -- at least a MONTH. It's only right.
As far as I'm concerned, respect has to be earned. Being elected President doesn't confer respect in and of itself; it just means that the President and his PR team fooled more people than the other guy did. If a president is a buffoon, a pussyhound or a scoundrel, there's no reason to pretend that he's anything but that; the rest of the world can see that our emperor has no clothes, and will think we're idiots for pretending otherwise.
