"Still, said Rice University political science professor Bob Stein, "there is a family pattern here where the Bush sons - Jeb, Neil and George - have benefited tremendously by their connections through their father."

This is the part of the article that pisses me off the most. The only "dynasty" the press and the libs want is a demoncrat one. As if the kennedy's never had a "father" and other relatives who helped pave their way; as if the kennedy name means nothing; and as if JFK had nothing to do with Robert Kennedy getting a job in his administration. No, I guess when it comes to dems, nepotism and connections don't ever apply. BS!

I have never seen a family villified more than the Kennedy's. Whether it was merited or not is beside the point,they were and are villified.

Aside from some forums that are dedicated to religion,FR is the only chat room I watch and to which I contribute.I have never seen anything,positive or negative on the religious forums about the family.

Every political discussion that even tangentially touches on the Kennedy's here evokes a spate of responses full of vitriol,scorn and sarcasm.

I have come to wonder if many posters are conservative or just anti anything that does not agree with their preconceived notions of what is/was or should be.

If someone could link me with material that supports the contention of most on this forum;that is,the Kennedy's are held up as national icons,heroes and are coddled and spared rough treatment by the media and the public,I would appreciate it.

Likewise anything on FR that gives them the benefit of the doubt.In case I'm not clear,I am talking about responses to articles,not the articles themselves,unless they are total puff pieces,which few are but if they are I am happy to look at those too. Thanks.
