The Left and the Death of Kennedy: Five Professors

[Tracy Riddle]

The right-wingers back in the day saw JFK as a commie sympathizer or worse, while the Left tended to see him as a lukewarm Cold War liberal, too cautious, and barely a liberal sometimes. The left hasn't really changed its view toward him much, but the right-wingers now try to co-opt him as one of their own (tax cuts! hawkish speeches!). Politics is a strange business.
