The MSM needs to be erased and replaced
We all have to support the alternative media. We need our billionaire supporters to counter Soros.
There are no billionaires on our side
And all this time I thought a PINKO COMMIE killed Kennedy...
Update: Tim Graham at PA Pundits has a much more informed report on NPRs original segment (of which I caught the tail end of, or the following days listener mail) and quotes sections of the NPR interview with author Bill Minutaglio, who peddles this right wing hysteria fantasy:
BLOCK: As we approach the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, a new book dives deep into the city where the murder took place. Dallas, 1963; explores the swirling forces of right wing fanaticism at work in the city during the three years leading up to JFKs assassination. By this account, Dallas in the early 60s was a stew of super-patriotism, fueled by anti-communist paranoia, fierce racism and anti-Semitism.
Reading Tims account, it appears that historians and authors on the Left not only still dust off and promote this toxic mythology, theyre doubling down on it. Or at least Bill Minutaglio is, in his new book. And, Im sure, ties it to the Tea Party, casually and dishonestly mislabeling it as a racist, radical pro-white, hate group. Identical to those right wing fanatics in Dallas who collectively killed Kennedy, dragging America with it. Good grief. Who is the paranoid one here?
Besides George Will, I hope other rational reviewers take Minutaglios book apart, and expose it for what it is. Paranoid Left Wing Fantasy. Reason-free, heartfelt, self-affirming propaganda. Other historians are sure to agree. It hits all the right notes, in harmony.
As Tim notes:
Among the book blurbs for Minutaglio is one of the liberal medias favorite historians/hysterians, Douglas Brinkley:
Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Daviss DALLAS 1963 is a brilliantly written, haunting eulogy to John F. Kennedy. By exposing the hatred aimed at our 35th president, the authors demonstrates that Americanot just Lee Harvey Oswaldwas ultimately responsible for his death. Every page is an eye opener. Highly recommended!

Bunch of perverts ... TeaParty = NO taxation/mandates without representation.
Koch Brothers:
Members of the Koch family have given to conservative and libertarian policy and advocacy groups in the United States,[12] including think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, and more recently Americans for Prosperity.[13] Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks are organizations with links to both the Kochs and the Tea Party movement.[14][15][16][17]
According to the Koch Family Foundations and Philanthropy website, “the foundations and the individual giving of Koch family members” have financially supported organizations “fostering entrepreneurship, education, human services, at-risk youth, arts and culture, and medical research.” [18]
I think I lost 50 IQ points just by reading that.
