Yup, I get the same reaction, but I tell them to look it up on the jfk library website. They have a footnote about it somewhere there.

It's always been a puzzle to me how Castro has managed to stay alive all these years.

John F. Kennedy was Bill Clinton long before there was a Bill Clinton presidency.

[gusopol3]

that's what Clinton the Boys' Stater thought too.

There's a great book, "Topaz". It was the code name for the mission to photograph the missles in Cuba while they were actually on the ground. The book was made into a movie .. but I liked the book better.

[Plutarch]

We gave up bases in Turkey too.

But those missiles were obsolete.

Google: Results 1 - 10 of about 13,700 for Turkey missiles obsolete cuban missile crisis.

Are you saying JFK actually foxed Khruschev?

[Kenny Bunk]

The worst thing JFK did was to convince Bill Clinton that one can run the USA by working an hour or two a day, turning the problems over to really bright wonks, and spending the rest of the day in the harem. Jack Kennedy achieved office dishonestly, and was physically and mentally unable to do the job.

We have paid for this with 14 years in Viet Nam, a permanent Castro, and emboldened Muslim Terrorists. They judged our nation by the weakness and vacillation of this diseased SOB who took his seat with a stolen election. Yet the myth goes on. The Kennedys are revered as "Civil Rights" Leaders, yet during Jack's absurd career (so reminiscent of Kerry) in the House and Senate, he voted with the hard-line segregationists every time and produced next to no legislation himself.

Martyred, Jack and Bobby gave Ted a free pass to the Senate for the rest of his life. Ted's Immigration "Reform" Act of 1965 may ultimately top the damage done by Jack, the worst President we have ever had. And I include Franklin Pierce.

You really can't absolve the Massachussetts electorate on this.

If we knew then what we know now - ping.

[gusopol3]

lots of Freepers believe he was a true conservative and won't factor this kind of stuff into their opinion of him

[beaver fever]

"It wouldn't be hard to draw a conclusion from this as to why Kennedy was asassinated."

Another endorsement for Ollie Stone.

[airborne]

Amnesty International (not a right-wing organization) admits that Castro has executed some 20,000 Cubans over the years of his rule. (Where is the international criticism that arises when the USA is going to execute one criminal?)

There were no panties involved.

[Happy2BMe]

Anne Coulter goes as far as to say he was dating a known Russian spy in (I believe it was South or North Carolina) when he was suddenly 'reassigned' to new duties.

Kennedy's arse was pulled from the fire many times by many people.

I still hate what happened to him though. It was a tragic low ebb in our nation's history.

Hello LBJ.

"Martyred, Jack and Bobby gave Ted a free pass to the Senate for the rest of his life."

Thanks for pointing this out. It's the absolute truth. Teddy has had a totally free ride because of the assassinations of Jack and Bobby. Nothing could be truer. The voters in the Comm. of MA. somehow think they "owe it to Teddy" to "keep the Kennedy flame burning" by guaranteeing him that seat in our U.S. Senate for life.

I lived in MA. for most of my life. I know!

By sheer chance, I once spent a weekend skiing at Stowe, VT. with Ted & Joan, although Joan didn't ski. ("The Lodge at Smugglers' Notch"). We spent the whole Saturday evening with the two of them plus his cousin, Joe Gargan. Believe me, when Teddy doesn't have a prepared speech in front of him, he sounds like a human dictaphone..........disorganized drivel.

Thanks for your comment.

.....absolve the Massachussetts electorate ....

Absolve'em? Hell I practice the Maine technique of charging Massholes double for everything. We need and take their money all summer long .... ain't nobody says we got to be nice about it ... otherwise the miserable, loud, and utterly obnoxious Massholes might be encouraged to move here!

The only good news is for New Yorkers. They have moved a notch off the bottom of everyone's Sierra Hotel India Tango list.

[tang-soo]

After the "resolution," some of the very Cuban freedom fighters who had smuggled out intelligence on the Soviet missiles found themselves stranded in a Cuba swarming with Soviet soldiers.

Topaz!

Jack Kennedy achieved office dishonestly

A couple of years ago for the 40th anniversary of Jack effin's assasination, a friend from out of town visited me here in Dallas, so I took him to the Book Depository. The place was swarming with Jack effin mourners. While we were there, I said in my loudest conversational voice to my friend: None of this would've happened if Nixon had the balls to challenge Kennedy's votes in Illinois. If he did, Nixon would've won, and Kennedy wouldn't have had any reason to be here on the day of his assasination.

I noticed many people around me in the crowd stiffening up with shock at my impertinent words.

[gusopol3]

Goldwater thought he'd have run a better race against JFK, and the MSM wouldn't have the mythology of Democratic sainthood they've used for 40 years had the assassination not occured.

Roger Mudd proved this beyond any doubt
