That’s It

For crying out loud. On the one hand we have the mainstream Republicans appropriating Kennedy as some sort of centrist compromiser, the fringe wingnuts are claiming that Ted is singly responsible for creating the poisonous partisan environment we find ourselves in today.

Here’s a little truth:

There’s poison and then there’s poison. That was a handbill circulated on November 21, 1963, in Dallas one day before the assassination.

Wingnuts have a long, long history of this ugly stuff. And we are seeing the same crazy stuff today. Don’t tell me that politics was all hearts and flowers until Teddy ruined everything. He, of all people, knew better.
