Hmmmm. Wasn’t there a Teddy Kennedy Life Guard school set up near Martha’s Vineyard after his tragedy with the Olds?
I wonder if these people would be carrying pictures of dead people on money who were somehow connected with racism and the Confederacy? But then, do they have jobs that would pay them that much?
Confederate monuments are just the low-hanging fruit. They are already moving on to Washington, Jefferson, Columbus, Junipero Serra, and even Lincoln. Then it will perhaps be ANY war monuments, the names of cities named by the Spanish colonialists (San Diego, etc.), and on and on, right up to the U.S. Constitution.
In about 1995 Nick Touches wrotea great bio on Dean Martin called “Dino”.
In that book he talks about the 1960 election. Frank Sinatra was the one who got the Rat Pack to help Kennedy, although Dean Martin was a Republican. Dean observed Kennedy up close and personal in Las Vegas and determined he was a just another scum bag politician.
He cautioned both Sinatra and Davis on Kennedy. He told Sinatra that if Kennedy got elected he would be dismissed and as he said “No Waps in the White House”.
Martin decided he would not perform at the Kennedy Gala, could have been in response to what happened to Sammy Davis, but he told Frank he had better things to do and did not show up.
Good read and I recommend it. Dean could be a hard ass but it was a great deal smarter than most thought.
“Why don’t we first tackle issues like the breakdown of the nuclear family, noncompetitive urban public schools and gang-related violence before we move on to Confederate monuments?”
Low hanging fruit is easier to pick and doesn’t take much energy and can be considered free pickins.
Those other things require hard work and sacrifice, which means they will likely never happen.
We must remove everyone from office who’s distant families ever owned slaves because these current government employees are constant reminders of an ugly past- so they must be removed from office- and not allowed to work- ever- because it would be too traumatic for snowflakes to see them in public
All the while, Marilyn and Mary Jo cry out from their graves
BAN ALL KENNEDY STUFF NOW
“I AM SpartaLEE”
Basically tear down any statue of anyone born before 1900, because odds are, they held views that would be considered racist today.
Kennedy Junior was just not that interested in politics and I doubt he had any interest in running for Senator or any other office. In fact I think the guy might have been fairly conservative in many things, including the managing of his money. He was running his magazine at the time and was pretty much a private person. I doubt politics was anything he wanted, although he was the Wet Dream for many democrats.
Indeed. What not just purge all of the history books and replace them an authentic history of the United States as written by some communist professor from Berkley?<p.
If the Chinese communists can do it, we can do it even better.
Malcolm X belongs on the list too:

There’s a boulevard in Brooklyn named after a racist who admired Hitler and boasted of being the first fascist. Harvard has a prominent institute named after a bigot who defended Nazi bigotry.
New York City, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles all have streets named after a supremacist and nationalist who palled around with Nazis. New York City has a statue of him. Washington D.C. has an art tribute to him. If we are going to take down Confederate memorials, there’s no way he can stay up.
He must fall.
In 1961, Malcolm X introduced George Lincoln Rockwell, the leader of the American Nazi Party, on stage at a Nation of Islam rally. After Rockwell made a donation to the racist black nationalist hate group, Malcom X led a round of applause for the Neo-Nazi leader and called him, “Mr. Rockwell.”
There’s been a recent effort in Bethesda to rename Winston Churchill High School after Malcolm X. How can you rename a school honoring the leader who defeated Nazism after Malcolm, a Nazi collaborator?
Malcolm X wasn’t breaking any new ground by palling around with Nazis. There had been a longstanding alliance between black nationalist and white nationalist groups which shared a common belief in the racial inferiority of other races, opposition to the Civil Rights Movement and anti-Semitism.
The head of the American Nazi Party had described Nation of Islam boss Elijah Muhammad as “the Adolf Hitler of the black man.”
Malcolm X had previously met with the KKK. The Muslim racist bonded with the Nazi racist over anti-Semitism. “The Jew is behind the integration movement, using the Negro as a tool,” Malcolm X told him.
Malcolm X’s Klan meeting was part of an alliance between the Nation of Islam and the KKK in opposition to the Civil Rights Movement. The Nation of Islam received protection for its mosques from the Klan.
J.B. Stoner, the KKK leader he met with, would be convicted of the bombing of the Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham. The bombing had taken place three years before their meeting.
Malcolm X had even urged the KKK to eliminate “traitors who assisted integration leaders”. The man after whom streets all over the country have been named was urging the KKK to kill civil rights workers.
“I sat at the table myself with the heads of the Ku Klux Klan,” Malcolm X later admitted. “From that day onward the Klan never interfered with the Black Muslim movement in the South.”
Don’t hold your breath
Yeah, but unfortunately for him and his passengers he decided to fly a small plane at night over the ocean when he was not instrument rated. Proving again that Kennedys tend to lack basic judgment.
I saw a photo on line of JFK making a speech in the same room with a Confederate Battle Flag. Guilty by association!
Rename the Kennedy Center, ban that horrendous bust of him which was reported, when it was dedicated, to make him look like he has “wall to wall acne!”
I think that most large art galleries and art museums are adored by liberals. The npr crowd love the arts.
You have to bet that they are nervous, at the moment, about the future of any confederate valuable paintings. Many are worth a fortune.
Strange no one has brought up the destruction or shaming of artwork besides statues..... yet. My guess is liberal curators are nervous. But they wont say anything because of their hypocrisy.
