What If RFK Had Become President?

I'm not sure how anyone can overlook RFK's visit to Marilyn Monroe on the day she died in reviewing his "legacy."

These people need to get over this drivel.

The sixties are over.

Bobby was the worst of a bad lot. I look forward to the day when we see the last of the idiot clan.

[gusopol3]

as long as Democrats seek to run as “the new Kennedy” it’s relevant

[BilLies]

“These people need to get over this drivel.”

These people need to “get off” on this drivel.

I hate how the media treats JFK (and RFK to some extent) as some sort of living god. They worship the guy in a way that I find really unsettling.

Obama is getting the same treatment. This morning on NPR they were talking about "The Dawning of the Obama Era". Jeez! The guy's not elected! There is no "era"!

But the media picks these flawed individuals, puts them on a pedestal and demands that we all bow down before their sacred memory. Makes me sick.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the sweeping immigration bill of 1965 into law at a ceremony on Liberty Island, Oct. 4, 1965. Sen. Ted Kennedy and his brother, Sen. Robert Kennedy, are seen at right.

Robert and Ted Kennedy helped steer the 1965 Immigration Act through Congress. The 1965 "reform" reoriented policy away from European ethnic groups...

[ReleaseTheHounds]

This is the media/journalism’s script — they have these themes. FDR — JFK — RFK — MLK. It’s an easy job when there’s only one script. So now we put the great Messiah Barack Obama (BHO) into the same template.

"reoriented policy away from European ethnic groups... "

anti-Communist and therefore good prospects for Republicans ?

“These people need to “get off” on this drivel.”

History is important, but CORRECT history is vital to our freedom.

Vince Bugliosi wrote a book (published last year) entitled “RECLAIMING HISTORY” and it is one of the most flawed works in history.

He has convinced HBO and Tom Hanks to put on a 10 part miniseries that will “straighten the record.”

Actually, what it will do is attempt to rewrite history as Bugliosi sees it, not as it happened.

[HenpeckedCon]

Bobby was not nearly as bad as Edward Moore, who was named after Joe’s pimp by the way.

[metesky]

We wouldn’t be saying that if Bobby had lived.

[N. Theknow]

So now we put the great Messiah Barack Obama (BHO) into the same template.

Oooooooh! That's a big NO-NO!

Should be "B?O"

[HenpeckedCon]

You could be right, but I doubt it. I don’t think Bobby hated America like Teddy does. I think Teddy got it from his Pa.

[BallyBill]

But he didn't become President and never will.

Write a Novel.

"Bobby was the worst of a bad lot. I look forward to the day when we see the last of the idiot clan."

AMEN!!!

[Yankee]

What if Jimmy Hoffa had become president?

[metesky]

Look, Bobby was an opportunistic weasel and if "going Teddy" was required to continually get elected, that is exactly what he would have done.

Don't ever confuse anything any Kennedy does with any sort of principles.

[Ditter]

I can’t understand how the Kennedy worship continues. Haven’t we learned enough about ALL of them, including old man Kennedy, to see how flawed the whole group was?

[metesky]

Speaking of which, did you know that Caroline Kennedy, the family Marxist, is a leading if not the leading, political advisor to the Obamessiah campaign?

Why do you think they keep kinda' quiet about that, hmmm?
