This is all documented fact. Of course soon after he began withdrawing the advisors he was assassinated. There were LOTS of entities who wanted JFK dead. The mob and the CIA were two of these entities. Sam Giancana, head of the Chicago mob, helped steal the election for Kennedy in Illinois in ‘60 and shared women with JFK, including Judith Exner, who lived to write a book about it. The problem was, Kennedy wanted nothing to do with the mob after being elected and Bobby Kennedy then started prosecuting the mob. This you don’t do. The mob was/were the ones who actually delivered the killing shot to JFK’s skull, blowing a quarter of his head onto the back of the presidential lincoln, then retrieved by Jackie, tho hacks [spin doctors] publicly stated that Jackie was jumping for fear of her life… BULLS*IT. What she did was very heroic. The CIA hired the mob to “do” JFK, as the CIA and the mob go way back to WWII when the OSS (beginnings of the present day CIA) hired Lucky Luciano to guard American ships for fear that Italian-Americans would sabotage them. The CIA has a history of hiring the mob for dirty jobs, or jobs that they just did not want to touch for one reason or another. The mob has a way of making everything and everyone “go away”. First Kennedy then the CIA patsy Oswald, then Ruby. Very convenient. An funny little coincidence in regard to Ruby; officer Tilden who Oswald (supposedly) shot was married, and his wife worked as a stripper for Jack Ruby. Gee, do ya think Oswald really shot Tilden? Another fact; no witnesses who saw JFK killed in Dallas survived to tell the tale. THese were witnessed that described in detail very accurately shots coming from different directions, including from the FRONT. There were 18 of these witnesses all total, and there was also other footage taken by citizens that November day. Another entity who stood to gain plenty was LBJ. Notice where Kennedy was killed. LBJ then escalated the troop deployment to 150,000 troops by 1965, and move the SAC base from New MExico to Texas. There’s a lot of money in military contracts and building huge 3 feet thick runways. Another little factoid is that Woody Harrelson’s father was in Dallas that day, who was convicted of mudering a federal judge several years later. He was one of the “Three tramps” the Dallas police let free after briefly detaining them. The history channel even did a piece on this, and a photo analysis run by two independent labs both confirm that Mr Harrelson (who sits rotting in federal prison at this writing) and the tramp in Dallas are 90% positive that this is the same man. The CIA also wanted Kennedy dead after they felt he “abandoned them” at the Bay of Pigs, hence the earlier mention of the CIA hiring the mob to do Kennedy in. Other folks who stood to gain? Why, the generals of course; general motors, general dynamics, general electric, etc, and ALL defense industry. Sound familiar? It should, it’s what’s happening today, only no one was assassinated, except for 4000 American soldiers, of course. Oh, in Kennedy’s case no one was brought to justice and it was all blamed on Oswald. In bush’s case, the “terrorists” are being blamed, and of course anyone who questions bush.</p> Kennedy starting PULLING advisors OUT of Vietnam when he realized this was a war that couldn’t be won.

Turk, have you seen the polls over on TPM’s election page? The ones from Wisconsin are scary in the support there for Repubs.

I used to work for Dave Obey and remember WI as a Dem-Farm-Labor state.

Wha happened?

It’s all in the framing. Bush is able to threaten the American people and then blame the Dems for his abuse should they stand up to him. We need to seriously address this problem.

The Democrats need to become broken records at reframing GOP manipulative language. It’s the only way. It’s up to us to get them there.
