America’s biggest regret is that SOB wasn’t sterile
Sets my teeth on edge.
It’s astonishing how the left rails about racism involving blacks but simultaneously can embrace hatred of Jews. It reveals their sinister agenda.
I wonder who it was that put the curse on that family.......
From 2015:
Rose Kennedy talks about daughter’s lobotomy, banning crying in the ‘cursed’ clan and how she would weigh her children every week in recently uncovered interview

When I was a kid I used to go to the same Sunday morning Mass and sit in the same area as Eunice Shriver. Other than her wild hair, I remember that she was a truly very good person. There was however, an intensity about her that could easily have been trouble. I think the whole family was like that.
Outliving four of her siblings, Rose would be the first of Joe's children to die of natural causes at the age of 86.
From what I understand, ol’ Joe was more of a criminal than he was a mere crook.
Oh wow, this biographer works hard to make the point that Kennedy Sr wasn’t as strong an anti Semite as he could have been. Well, gee, that is cool and changes so much.
Between this howler and reference to the Kennedy's as "a well respected political family" the author self identifies as a LOLI (Liberal of Low Intellect), itself a tautology.
His grandson is a drooler. Maybe he was lobotomized too.
No he gained immense wealth bootlegging whisky into the US through Canada during prohibition with his buddies Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano. A tidbit they left out oif the article.
Joe Kennedy, Sr. was Boston’s version of Al Capone. He should have been charged with treason during WWII when he was ambassador to GB.
I’ve always imagined Joe making the mistake of bargaining with the Devil.
“Let my sons rise to power”
Only to lose 3 of them and a daughter, and have babbling Ted the lone survivor.
Don Kennedy will make you an offer you can’t refuse.
there is only a small margin of justice in that the POS was chair bound and could only cry and soil itself for the last eight years of it's lifeThe book, "Sins of the Father" by Ronald Kessler explains Rosemary's problem the best.
She was not mentally-ill, she had a learning disability and she was sort of a klutz. When the Kennedy's would all gather on the lawn to play sports, Rosemary did not excel. And old Joe thought that was not normal and he could not fathom having someone in the family who was not athletically perfect. (Eugenics much?)
Some have written that she was mentally retarded, however she could do higher-level math with ease.
What old Joe worried about was that she was so beautiful, he thought that she would become a loose woman and "embarrass" him by getting pregnant and flaunting herself. She did tend to be a bit erratic at times, but then if you were the family klutz in a family where physicality was a top priority, you'd be a bit upset too.
Because she was deemed a "problem" he decided to act without his wife's knowledge and found a doctor who would lobotomize her in order to straighten her out. The procedure caused her to become mentally incapacitated.
Yes, her father paid for someone to cripple his daughter mentally.
So, the Special Olympics, supposedly created in the honor of a mentally retarded Rosemary Kennedy, has a very crippled foundation.
Did he ever do anything nice?
IMHO, he had no "dark" side...He was a totally "dark" person with a totally "dark" soul...
