Yes, that's true, but that's because it's 70 years later. We have a bit better understanding of medicine and the brain than we did in 1940.
If one of the Kennedys did that today, the media would be all over them, too.
Let me rephrase what I said. If Sarah Palin's GRANDFATHER had done this to her aunt in he 1940s, the media would tell everyone all about it.
Get it? It makes no damn difference about understanding of brain medicine now and then. There are many other horrendous things Joe Kennedy did, including a death toll from mistreatment of poor Irish workers in his booze-smuggling phase, that the media will NEVER report.
Conservatives need to raise $40 million and produce a feature-length motion picture telling the FULL TRUTH about this disgusting family. The bubble the leftist have protected the Kennedys with must be burst.
