You know I wonder why they would think that the Nation would still be wounded over JFK when we have had the Challenger Disaster, 9/11, and perhaps VA TECH. That is what is on the minds of Americans not JFK.

The endless fascination with JFK by the liberals is little more than celebrity worship.

If JFK had the looks & charisma of Adlai Stevenson or Hubert Humphrey, there would be a lot less of the JFK worship.

I can only speak from my own reaction. All the things you mention are horrible, but, sadly, they have become almost commonplace. At that time, it was such a shocking thing for us to believe that the President could be shot. It was the end of innocence. It wasn’t that it was HIM, just that such a thing could happen in our then secure little world.
