Is The History Channel Pushing Right Wing Smears Of The Kennedys?

[Charles Drago]

Overheard, from the loft above: a PBS documentary that was subtly smearing the family and Jack.

I read somewhere -- I wish I could remember where -- that the 'fetishization' of the victim is a sign of guilt and that the pathology of it all will not let them stop -- like the automatic gunfire into an already-obviously-dead victim in the massacre at Nissour Square. Or the padlocking of JFK's burial site on the anniversary of his death. Or the presentation of a portrait of MLK to his widow. The latter two were courtesy of the Bush family.

I agree that this analysis may be applied appropriately to the ritualistic actions of some of the killers.

But we must not lose sight of the fact that practical operational objectives are attained by the slander.

I might also note that the killers exhibit no fear whatsoever of the Kennedy family.
