The only event that approaches November 22,1963 is 9/11. Take my word for it.

Now wait just one God damn minute. Worshipping immoral drug addict presidents is one thing, but are you suggesting that the Kennedy Assassination had more effect on America than 911??? Are you that brain dead?

LOL. Ad hominen attacks, emotionalism, and profanity don't succeed in the marketplace of ideas. I compared the two events in the context of how they affected the nation at the time. Yes, the assassination of Kennedy had a very profound effect upon the nation similar to 9/11. In the case of JFK, we didn't have the benefit of real time in terms of actually witnessing the event. I guess you just had to be present at the time to understand it. Watching the world's leaders walking behind the funeral procession was mind blowing. It was more than a national event. The entire world grieved. The reverberations of JFK's death affected the national psyche and altered our political history, for good or evil. Just imagine, forty years later the event still evokes the powerful emotion and animated discussion reflected in these posts.
