Here's a fascinating piece of history...
I had never seen this before, but I find it very fascinating given the fact that conservatives use JFK as a sort of blunt instrument to beat upon how far to the left liberals have fallen. Based on this the truth of that could be questioned.
Wow! I’d take JFK over Obama any day of the week.
There’s a more modern face that belongs up there and is much more appropriate IMHO.
That flyer is very well known.
By today’s standards with LBJ, Clinton, and Obummer, Kennedy would be considered a conservative Republican.
President Kennedy, and those close to him, despised Communism.
Heck, the Bishop who married Jacky to him was so adamantly against Communism that he stated that Communism was the anti-Christ.
Not exactly the kind of company that a "pro-Communist President" keeps in his personal life.
back then our freinds wew Cuba, Katanga and Portugal . heh
So 50 years ago the Republicans treated JFK just like they do Obama. A.) Destroys the racist meme. B.) Destroys meme that Republicans have become so partisan, just recently.
This was posted in various Dallas papers the time JFK visited Dallas before being shot. Yeah, for real.
see above
At that time in my life, I was a “Goldwater Conservative” but not a “John Birch Conservative”. There was quite a difference as the Goldwater supporters generally discounted the conspiracy themes of the Birchers. Really, folks, Eisenhower wasn’t a commie.
LOL the name fits Harry.
The 11th Commandment of the Democrat Party (if they believed in the first ten) would be “Thou shalt speak no ill of a Kennedy”.
Yep. JFK couldn’t hold a candle to the current POTUS’ crimes; nowhere near. Actually I don’t think all of the atrocties committed by other presidents summed together would even come close.
My beloved mentor once told me that Barry Goldwater was the last Republican that he voted for without holding his own nose to hide the stink.
Cuba is a friend?
Cuba was a staunch US ally, and prime vacation spot for Americans before Castro took over.
Of course, even then the fifth-column MSM, led by Uncle Walter, the king of left-wing clymers, buried any hints of JFK's drug use and insatiable sex orgies with White House staff, Hollywood starlets, and everyday whores.
