Yes, and I've seen people put flowers on his grave. but the local rag excoriates McCarthy (half-truths, convenient omissions, and huffy "oh-we're-still-so-shocked over the loss of civil liberties") and whips up his detractors. It's not long before someone again vandalizes his grave.
Then the paper pretends to decry that action, though really they are all secretly applauding, as they do when a serviceperson is killed or injured in the line of duty.
