Many "leftists" who suffer no other discernable maladies, harbor a visceral blood-and-guts-dripping-from-their-teeth hatred for all things Kennedy. Even mention of the name can send them into seizures.
I know one such. His hate for the Democrats is so deep, that he prefers the Repubs, although he is in denial about it. He stated to me that the Dems are more dangerous than the Repubs because, "everybody knows what the Repubs are, but the workers are totally fooled by the Dems". And leading the list is JFK.
It's impossible to have a rational discussion with him about the man. Last time I tried he wound up shouting that he was glad JFK was killed! (You can't mention Barbra Streisand to him either; he loses control of himself. Her crime? She's a democrat!)
To people like this, JFK, Raygun, Nixon and the Bushes are all same-same. That would include such non-dangerous Repub stalwarts as Kissinger too.
Sheesh.
