America’s biggest regret is that SOB wasn’t sterile

It’s astonishing how the left rails about racism involving blacks but simultaneously can embrace hatred of Jews. It reveals their sinister agenda.

Doesn’t even mention his start in business as a bootlegger.

From 2015:

Rose Kennedy talks about daughter’s lobotomy, banning crying in the ‘cursed’ clan and how she would weigh her children every week in recently uncovered interview

The article skips how many people were killed as Old Joe took control of Scotch Whiskey importing during prohibition. Joe was in bed with the NY mob to distribute the Scotch Whiskey he made $millions on.

Why do we keep hearing about the “Kennedy curse”? If any presidential family was “cursed,” it was Richard Nixon’s. Nixon lost two brothers at an early age. He reached the presidency only to be felled by Watergate and remains the only president to have resigned. Then following his death, one of his daughters went over to the dark side and threw her support to Barack Obama.

When I was a kid I used to go to the same Sunday morning Mass and sit in the same area as Eunice Shriver. Other than her wild hair, I remember that she was a truly very good person. There was however, an intensity about her that could easily have been trouble. I think the whole family was like that.

Reading up on Rose Kennedy's lobotomy was horrific. Fearing she would embarrass the family, Joe took his slightly dimwitted and rebellious but otherwise normal 23-year old daughter and quite literally had her brains scrambled while she was conscious and reciting the Lord's Prayer. Only when she could no longer speak was the procedure stopped. By then, it was too late. She had been rendered a vegetable.

Outliving four of her siblings, Rose would be the first of Joe's children to die of natural causes at the age of 86.

From what I understand, ol’ Joe was more of a criminal than he was a mere crook.

Oh wow, this biographer works hard to make the point that Kennedy Sr wasn’t as strong an anti Semite as he could have been. Well, gee, that is cool and changes so much.

"In May 1940, Winston Churchill replaced Chamberlain and Britain declared war a few months later. The rest, as they say, is history."

Between this howler and reference to the Kennedy's as "a well respected political family" the author self identifies as a LOLI (Liberal of Low Intellect), itself a tautology.

His grandson is a drooler. Maybe he was lobotomized too.
