JFK has been so mythologized that for myself, growing up in 80s and 90s, it was surprising to see such harsh attacks leveled against him. Of course this was before his death, but, despite knowing that politics is a brutal sport, I was still taken aback. Most telling though is how similar many of the attacks in this comic book are to the charges being leveled against Obama and democrats now. The more thing change, I guess
Ive included some pictures. I have had no luck finding any information on this. If the readers of your site have any information Id be interested. I dont think Antiques Roadshow is coming to Portland anytime soon.

This is funny. And really now, right wing attacks haven't changed in 50+ years.

It's funny how people seem to think "negative campaigning" is some sort of new idea.

It did have a good Sunday comics section, though

it is the SAME crape, they just keep going it like a coach running the same running play that works most of the time.
They really only have a few go to moves and just keep cycling between them.

(24,461 posts)News flash, GOP. Universal Health Care means government FUNDED, not government DICTATED . . . then and NOW.
And after all that fear-mongering, the for-profit health system their asshole party DID help nail in place now has a corporation do everything they said JFK would do in their puny little minds.
Way to go, dickface.
