JFK Just Like Clinton

[Ham Murabi]

It wasn't just the immorality of his behavior, but the dangerous nature of it. Sharing a girlfriend with Sam Giancana fer chrissakes? Also, Kennedy kept his serious health problems from the public. Doesn't the public have the right to know whether or not they're electing someone to office with Addison's disease?

Plus the guy was taking an incredible amount of pain killers.

Ah, yes, Watergate was after Reagan. And the "Teflon Don" was something that...just never happened. Importing cocaine was a story that the MSM reprted faithfully and indepth right from the start.

Vetteman's 4 sons are named Lee, Harvey, Oswald and Sirhan.

Shut up with that mythology.

It's all there for the googling, Vette. Every bit of what I said.

Probably, but JFK was in the news today, so I turned it around.

Tell us how Hitler is just like Obama next.

Jesus Christ on a stick, does anyone think the first lady didn't know about JFK's other women? Hell she was one of the Good wives of our era. She knew and turned a blind eye to it.

On Sonny:

You're logical, rational, charming, polished, very funny, a poster I like very much, and a bit of a weasel. The outing of Karen was carefully constructed so it would be obfuscated by a moral imperative, though in the end it was little more than revealing someone's personal info. You move here with a confidence that most find admirable and you find a little funny, because you have a hard time seeing why everyone doesn't feel that way. You spend a lot of time here reading stuff and shaking your head at the foolishness of it all.

And I still want to hear you play. And you never responded when I posted that article about acupuncture.

On Nipples:

You're clever, very funny, you play the bad boy here and it gets you lulz and attention. You're very careful that when you pull a serious douche move like outing someone's personal info, you do it either to someone who likes that sort of fight or someone who's not popular enough for people to raise a stink. For the most part you think of this place as somewhere you can go to act like a dick safely, eg, no real life consequences, and you find that amusing. Which it is, often hilariously so. Like Sonny, you hide your dick moves behind a smokescreen of morality, so most people here aren't afraid of getting Killswitched by you, and they're correct; they don't need to worry about it.

You better run along now, there's some personal info in Memphis Man's thread being exposed by Nips, surely you'll want to castigate him for the transgression, better get on with it.

Now is your dumb ass ready to admit that Reagan was involved in importing cocaine to pay for his illegal wars, or are you such a partisan hypocrite that you're going to continue to say it never happened in the face of slamdunk evidence?

Has anyone brought up Gingrich and his many wives yet?

Shut up with that mythology.

The Reagan administration’s tolerance and protection of this dark underbelly of the Contra war represented one of the most sordid scandals in the history of U.S. foreign policy. Yet when Kerry’s bombshell findings were released in 1989, they were greeted by the mainstream press with disdain and disinterest. The New York Times, which had long denigrated the Contra-drug allegations, buried the story of Kerry’s report on its inside pages, as did the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. For his tireless efforts, Kerry earned a reputation as a reckless investigator. Newsweek’s Conventional Wisdom Watch dubbed Kerry a “randy conspiracy buff.”

But almost a decade later, in 1998, Kerry’s trailblazing investigation was vindicated by the CIA’s own inspector general, who found that scores of Contra operatives were implicated in the cocaine trade and that U.S. agencies had looked the other way rather than reveal information that could have embarrassed the Reagan-Bush administration.

Even after the CIA’s admissions, the national press corps never fully corrected its earlier dismissive treatment. That would have meant the New York Times and other leading publications admitting they had bungled their coverage of one of the worst scandals of the Reagan-Bush era.

The warm and fuzzy glow that surrounded Ronald Reagan after he left office also discouraged clarification of the historical record. Taking a clear-eyed look at crimes inside Reagan’s Central American policies would have required a tough reassessment of the 40th president, which to this day the media has been unwilling to do. So this formative period of Kerry’s political evolution has remained nearly unknown to the American electorate.

Kerry says it, press buries it, CIA confirms it ten years later. Exactly what I said. Reagan was a crook and the press gave him a pass.

I've read that Nixon was virtually asexual from his time as Vice President through the remainder of his life.

To me, that's quite odd.

Big difference between JFK and Clinton? Clinton got caught and lied about it. IF JFK got caught he'd have smiled and probably admitted to it. I think it's kind of insulting to JFK to even make the comparrison.

 

[Peregrinator]

Maybe Pereg will look up the Sierra Club's position on Nixon's sex life, I'm sure they have one.

This is your way of saying that the CIA lied?

 

[ChinaBandit]

J. Edgar Hoover wasn't sexually well adjusted either.

He got off on knowing who was fucking who.

I've got to see the flick.

 

[Johnny_Ray_Wilson]

Of course! This explains any questions I had on why JFK's decisions on the Cuban Missile Crisis seemed 'delayed'. He was busy consulting with his teen intern on the matter.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Everyone knows JFK fucked around.

I don't care if he gave it to her in all three holes either.
