Robert Dallek Camouflages JFK, Twice

[Richard Coleman]

Nope, no sarcasm at all.

I thought you were joking.


Not to defend Bush, but that smells like a set-up of the type done by an agency that tries to compromise all those in power. Though it does make sense to me that Bush's international sadistic behavior might draw the deviant interest of fringe personalities.

I don't follow your logic at all. What "agency that tries to compromise all those in power"? Isn't there anybody "it" likes? (Does that include the Koch brothers, J. Dimon, etc.? They seem to be doing all right.) CIA? NSA? FBI? DIA? SS? Some combination of these? What purpose would it serve except to destabilize the government, the state? Socialists and left-wing radicals might be delighted to do this but what "agency" would? Or are you implying a left-wing, er, Communist plot? (If so, where do I join? )

As for Bush, what evidence is there that any of these groups didn't like him? Cheney went after the analysts at CIA because they weren't justifying his drive for war in Iraq, but the Bushies got along fine with the covert operations side.

As for the Guckert/Gannon business, I believe Bush goes both ways. In fact probably prefers boys. Which wouldn't matter a damn except that he supported and identified with the "family values" homophobic christians. As do all conservatives caught in homosexual situations.

"Bush's international sadistic behavior might draw the deviant interest of fringe personalities"

What does that mean? The point isn't Guckert/Gannon's sexuality, it's Bush's. By fringe personalities, do you mean gays? That gays are attracted by "International sadistic behavior"?

Barney Frank wasn't.
