JFK Information Wants To Be Free?

Another round in the apparently never-to-be-exhausted trove of Kennedy assassination legends and lore.

A fight with the Central Intelligence Agency over withholding documents possibly touching on presumed assassin Lee Harvey Oswald has attracted support from the full spectrum, from Oswalddiditists like Vincent Bugliosi kennedy-vincent-bugliosi.jpgto whatever in hell Oliver Stone‘s position is. kennedy-oliver-stone.jpg

The documents involve the CIA handler of Cuban exiles Oswald encountered in New Orleans kennedy-oswald-leafleting-in-new-orleans.jpg and their murky relations.

It was like old times for Representative Duncan Hunter at the Orlando Republican Presidential debate.

Specifically 1961. cuba-playa-giron-stamps.jpg

While most of the GOP candidates are content to bask in the warm glow of Ronald Reagan single-handedly toppling the Berlin Wall, Hunter has other roll back campaigns in mind. He’s going after Fidel! cuba-castro-playa-giron.jpg

Or at least making the claim that Kennedy sold out the Bay of Pigs []Playa Giron] invasion, launching the lily-livered “Democrat” party of today.

A bold statement considering who held office castro-nixon.jpgwhen Castro came to power, and which administration cooked up the invasion. [The hearty endorsement of our death-squad allies in El Salvador is also refreshing]

“This is a historic venue.(APPLAUSE)

You know, 300 miles off this coast is a place where another party, once a great party, the Democrat Party, lost its identity. And that’s when, in 1961, the Cuban freedom fighters were struggling with a toehold on the beach, trying to take back Cuba from Castro and a Democrat president with an aircraft carrier sitting a few miles offshore said we will not help the freedom fighters.

And a thousand miles away from there is El Salvador, where a Republican president, Ronald Reagan, hung tough, brought freedom to El Salvador.

HUNTER: And you know something? Today, they are fighting side by side with our guys in Iraq.

(APPLAUSE)

We’re the party of freedom.”

Mittnik Mania

They are getting a little ahead of themselves on the Mitt Romney blog.

Volunteers apparently high on their own fumes have moved beyond the primaries, the general election, and are already far gone into legacy/house museum building.

After stalking Kennedy properties in Hyannis Port romney-blog-kennedy-stalking.jpg one Vic Lundquist speaks for the nation:

“I recommend that Governor Romney purchase the estate (one home owned by Bobby Kennedy’s son is for sale right now) and keep it in the “presidential family” for American history.”

There’s the conversation starter!

Profiles In Courage

Is downloading porn a problem in the Kennedy Library reading room?

comedy when the library’s Internet filters blocked the presenter from accessing YOUTUBE.

Andy Carvin was trying to make a point about citizenship and the glories and impact of “user generated content” [and don’t that just roll off the tongue!] when the JFK Library’s mighty Wurlitzer failed. Up popped up an “inappropriate” message rather than the Macaca video.
