I'm looking for the video game that re-creates Chappaquiddick.

This is disgraceful. It lends credibility to assassinating presidents.

They had a documentary on the History Channel last night. This guy who studied the Secruter (SP?) film has made a computer similation of the assasination. According to him, he firmly believes that there was no conspiracy and Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

This nation is losing its dignity.

I think that is what voters lament.

Not exactly what I would call "challenging" gameplay, unless you get to go to a bar and then driving with Ted in the next level.

.... but he insisted he and his team had nothing but respect for Kennedy and for history.

And for the almighty dollar.

Disgusting...I fully understand Sen. Kennedy's feelings on this...I don't like him but I'd be pissed as hell if someone made a game recreating the killing of my brother aswell.

The assassination of a president strikes at the very core of the legitimacy of our government, the extension of our revered self-determination.

To make light of that, is in essense disrespecting the very core of what we are as a nation.

This truly disgusts me. May this exercise in free enterprise bring financial ruin to the idiots involved.

"It is despicable," said David Smith, a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother.

Even more despicable is the Left's insistence that the would-be assassin of Ronald Reagan should be allowed unsupervised outings from the nut hut.

"We believe that the only thing we're exploiting is new technology,"

Bull swat!!!

The only thing you are exploiting is an a gruesome horrific legacy that politically motivated people can use the ultimate means, assassinations, to bring down a government......and of course the almighty dollar.

I don't even like JFK and think is beyond the pale.

What's next the game "Darn, John Hinckly missed by a inch"

WJFK in Washington DC slogan used to be "Assasination Radio" until Ted Kennedy complained.

Kennedy thinks this game is despicable, yet he wasted a bunch of people's TV time shedding alligator tears and half-ass apologizing for the murder of Mary Jo Kopechne so he could run for the Senate yet again.

Yeah, Ted, save your anger for someone who really cares.

It was 41 years ago tomorrow that JFK was assassinated.

You'll note that the developers of the game are in Scotland. Way to go, laddies.

Watched the show on the History Channel last night about the Kennedy assasination. The reconstructions using computer animation were very illuminating. I've believed all my life that there was not a lone gunman, but after watching the evidence, I must admit that I've changed my mind.

It wasn't the computer animation that showed the alignment of Kennedy and Connelly that did it for me, although that was most telling. No, rather it was the reconstruction of the scene from the sniper's nest at the top of the TX School Book Depository, specifically the view through the scope, showing at which points the shots were taken and the time lapses between, in real time.

I'm a good shot. In the Army, I qualified on the M16, receiving an Expert marksmanship badge. I'm an even better shot with bolt guns. But after seeing what the shooter saw, I realized that even a person with mediocre skills and only a passing familiarity with that Manlicher Carcano could have made those shots. It would not have required an expert. After the 2nd shot, the limo was moving directly away from the shooter's position and downhill, so there was no left to right adjustment and almost no elevation adjustment necessary. The shooter had virtually all the time in the world between the 2nd shot, which wounded both K and C, and the 3rd, which killed the President.

I never thought I'd see myself saying it, but Oswald was the lone gunman. There is no further doubt in my mind.

Disgraceful. This is only one step away from a "Kill Bush" game.

If you want the gold standard when it comes to analysis of the Zapruder film (including the clearest rendering of the film itself in existence), try this. Its a fascinating view.
