    Uhh, yes. The Kennedy's wealth and connections kept a lot of their dirty laundry hidden from the public.

    The GOP could learn a lot about divisiveness and hate from the Kennedy's and their Country Club/Yacht Club cronies.

    Sure there is a ton of economic and social diversity at Juniors' Country Club/Yacht Club and the prep schools their clan attend.

    What do the Kennedy Krieger organizations have to do with the Kennedy family?

    Didn't Lincoln have a secretary named Kennedy?

    Oh wait, I think Kennedy's secretary drove a Lincoln, or something like that ....

    Absolutely nothing, other than it being renamed in honor of a slain president.

    No there wouldn't. And if it were up to people like Daddy Joe and Mommy Rose Kennedy we would be giving disabled people lobotomies.

    2. Pappa Joe was afraid she would "embarrass" the Kennedy clan.
    3. Pappa Joe had her lobotomized and institutionalized for the rest of her life.

    This is common knowledge for most people, I wonder how you miss so much?

    City schools education perhaps?

    In stating what one believes, one is giving one's opinion. I don't know when an opinion would be viewed as "objective"
    Good point.

    I would not exclude those two or their mother either. Junior's recklessness cost him his life and the life of his wife and sister~in~law. And Caroline's sense of entitlement to rule was demonstrated when she wanted to be appointed to Senator Clinton's seat until she later decided to drop it due to "personal reasons.

    Upon further review I was wrong because I thought it was started by the Kennedy family.

    I have it confused with the Kennedy Institute in Washington, D.C.

    We have been agreeing too much!

    In retrospect I would change "only" to primarily.

    He is obviously a well educated and intelligent person and has good public speaking/media skills.

    I just do not agree with his perspective very often.

    Fox gets grief because the falsely label themselves as fair and balanced. In reality, they are the right wing equivalent of PMSNBC, CBS, ABC, NPR etc... In the same way, these left wing outlets try to divide this country all the time. Even more disturbing, they create a rift among the races.

    I agree that Fox should drop the "Fair and Balanced" BS.
    I don't watch any of the news channels often but fox news has a clear agenda in every way.

    There's that right wing bubble again. You guys sure make a habit of confusing "open-minded" with "liberal". Only MSNBC has a noticable left wing bias.
