3. He should condemn the man who did it
but realistically he won't. Actually it is a partisan memorial, there is not a single conservative there.

4. No, that busload of 'counter-demonstrators' draped flags at some
of the memorials the other day, and the older man who came to tell Cindy he didn't support her action, but did look for his child's marker and cried with her when they found it were conservatives. Will is right, this isn't partisan at all.

And sadly, some number of those almost 2,000 markers represent people who we would have called conservatives - I'd much rather have them alive and here where we could debate our politics then what happened to them. Their families are suffering every bit as much as those of the liberals.
