‘We’re heading into nut country’

Jack Kennedy was killed in an open car in Dallas in the midst of the most hated–it’s like the mood we’re in right now. [Chris Matthews]

Well, except for that pesky fact that John Kennedy was assassinated not by some “un-American” conservative angry at government expansion, but by an avowed Communist, as Mark Finkelstein points out at NB.

In fact, it was the Texas Democrat party that President John Kennedy went to Dallas to visit, and had characterized to an aide as, “We’re heading into nut country,” nearly 46 years ago.

JFK had gone to Texas to attend fundraisers, and to try and heal the wounds in the South that came as a result of his administration’s agenda. It was a record, except for a few memorable moments, that was largely unremarkable.

The imaginary John Kennedy is remembered by Matthews and millions of others as one of the greatest ever. That his youngest brother is lionized by these same people is no great surprise.

    You can’t expect liberals to be bothered by actual FACTS now, can you?

      I will give JFK credit for bringing the top marginal tax rate down from 90% to 70%, that was no small thing.
      Also, he did break the steelworkers union.
      Can’t think of much else.
      His attitude towards the CIA is what did him in, and the current donk president would be wise watch his short and curlies when using the CIA as a whipping boy for his falling poll numbers with the wacko-left.
