The Kennedys - Cynical Ninja - 04-20-2011
The History channels new mini-series exploring the Kennedy family up until the assasination of JFK has been criticised by some as being a "right wing hatchet job" on the families reputation.

More tellingly for me at least.....
Greg Kinnear as JFK?!
What next?, Eddie Murphy as Martin Luther King?

This is starting to sound even more like a right wing stitch up.
Apparently the mini-series fails to mention the Cuban missile crisis, you know that little footnote in history where the WORLD WAS ON THE BRINK OF WORLD WAR 3!!!!!!?????
I'm not exactly a huge fan of the Kennedys or of JFK himself but I think he handled the missile crisis pretty well I think.
The creator of this series says he "almost weeps everytime he thinks about Ronald Reagan".
Now if a democrat said he "almost weeps everytime he thinks of John F Kennedy" you would call that man a pussy and rightly so.

I get pissed because Jacko is the one that permitted government employees to form a union. Then I get pissed even more because before he got a chance to kill the Fed......... 4 days later he was shot. I believe the Fed killed J.F.K.

I think the fact that JFK threatened to split the CIA "into a thousand pieces" played a major part in the reason why he was assassinated.
A president who calls for peace not war? unacceptable.
