I have previously written on this blog that opponents of Bush 43's administration now lavish great praise on his father (who in most cases they vehemently opposed at the time) as a way of attacking the son.

You are already beginning to see it with Milton Friedman, who sadly passed away yesterday. I am by no means an expert on Friedman or his economic or political beliefs, but if how one chooses to donate their money means anything, it appears that Friedman was supportive of the Republican Party to the end.
