PBS, 8:00 P.M. Wednesday, November 19, 2003 – Following the visual of the Rebel Flag, a youngish, very short haired woman appeared on the screen. My reception is fuzzy here, so while I can hear the audio perfectly, I cannot always see the picture clearly. As near as I could tell, she was in a setting which spoke of academics.

Once again thank you for pinging me on an excellent article. I liked it very much.

Are you Larry Leonard by any chance? :)

Yes there was right wing opposition to JFK. but what they fail to mention these days it was the right wing of the DEMOCRAT party, not the republicans. I have read all of the books on this, and it is in all of them, plus the real history will tell you. In those days there was a hard right democrat group.

Thanks....According to Zell Miller there are plenty of conservatives in the Democrat party today...who are disgusted with the 'leaders' in Washington.
