David Talbot, JFK Historian, Says Stop The Kennedy Smears

[Elin48]

Thank you.

[miragesmack]

Honestly, without seeing it, I'll never know if it's biased or not. Not a huge fan of censorship generally, or those who support it. I'm surprised a so called film maker is supporting censorship.

I loved Jack and Bobby, my two favorite politicians ever. There have never been anything close to them since. So ANYTHING they say about them won't hurt me too much. I knew these guys weren't always Saints. The rest of the family I could care less about, many of which were horrible people.

[vivimaze]

I absolutely agree that this film is biased and should not be aired. (Thank goodness it's not). There is never an excuse strong enough to justify propaganda and mis-information. But please, don't make this over politicized. I'm a moderate conservative who tends to go republican, but I was just as offended by this smear of the Kennedys as anyone else.

[skiingpowder10]

kate holmes LOOKS VERY BAD OVER THIS. ... is she a deer in the headlights and didnt know that this mini series was factually wrong or she knew the smears and wanted to be part of it.... either way for an Actor this is a bad thing..

on the STOP KENNEDY SMEARS ... Congrats to you and all who have donated to your cause YOU WON !!!!

[MoJoSB]

Thank god the History channel did not become THAT kind of station.

Look, this film has every right to be made but it will end up in the dust bin of film history. It's just right wing nonsense, like most stuff coming out of the right these days. What happen to the conservatives in this country?

I never agreed with the right but at least they had a firm grasp on reality and fantasy. These days, I can hardly believe what I am witnessing as the right spins huge lies and gets crazier and crazier.

[StoogeWatcher]

But liberals had no problem smearing Ronald Reagan.

[quarkmuffin37]

we are opposed by a conspiracy, which has conscripted vast human and technical resources into the weaving of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine... RIP Kennedy, these fucking conservative retards will forgive ted haggard for gay meth romps, while you boned Marylin Monroe, and they call you evil. America consistently produces a seam of vile banal ignorants, who are a cancer on the face of humanity. One part of the reason he was killed was because he was getting too interested in UFO's...

[999Thip]

why dont liberals want to talk about obummers occidental college records-under the name of barry soetoro ,he reeived financial aid as a foreign student from indonesia as an undergraduate.

[1stTrillionaire]

You tell em david!

[themeaningoflife38]

more right wing fascist propaganda from rush limbaugh's gay lover

[StoogeWatcher]

@themeaningoflife38 Left-wingers are fascists: Anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-Sharia.

[mikecorbeil]

Excellent update or follow-up to the first bravenewfilms video about this garbage History Channel film!

[ThisBoyTV]

History being rewritten this way is garbage. I can see by the children posting that they never had to hide under their desks for fear of nuclear war.

President Kennedy stood tall and stopped that threat by signing a treaty with Premiere Khrushchev. That's the story that needs to be told over and over even though the kids will never actually know the fear we felt every day.

[ndyt]

JFK was a thug. What they don't want you to know:

The American War: The U.S. in Vietnam

[theshadow1932]

JFK was no only a thug, he was a coward and an incompetent. His dad got him pulled from the European theater, because he was involved with a known Nazi agent. He IMMEDIATELY took the fastest, most nimble boat in any navy and got it RAMMED & SUNK, by a japanese destroyer, capable of EIGHT KNOTS! This made him a HERO? Later, he let the free Cubans be slaughtered, resulting in the Missile Crisis, and almost taking us out as a species. Thank God he's gone and in Hell with his brothers.

Please learn to speak English.

Stupid Conservatives.

[bokiluis]

Fuque u and the reason you exist. You are fuquing neanderthal and so transparent, it is laughable.

[bobklahn]

@theshadow1932

"Thank God he's gone and in Hell with his brothers."

When you get there let us know if you see him there.

[theshadow1932]

If you can admire that guy, you stand a much better chance of seeing him than I ever will. Take along some marshmallows to toast.

Norm

[bobklahn]

I have little use for any Kennedy. That doesn't mean I tolerate smears well.

And it's not your place to decide who is in hell.

[candyear]

@bobklahn

God doesn't hear your hatred.

[bobklahn]

Consigning T Kennedy to hell is the hatred. I had little use for the man, but I don't tolerate smears well.

[TrueNovice]

@theshadow1932 Navy Veterans who served with Kennedy put him in for medals. But I guess you know more than they do. The Bay of Pigs was a covert or secret operation, no one was supposed to even know of American involvement. Precision air strikes is a new development. Had the US called in air strikes, not only would many of our Cubans killed the Soviet would have moved on West Berlin.Apparently, you buy into the propaganda that the Soviets w forced to put missiles in Cuba.

[theshadow1932]

I know this; he had 2 gigs and screwed up both, pronto. As for his subs praising him, who knows? Maybe they didn't want to see their lives had been in the hands of a foul up. And, he had a weird likability that served him. Jackie, whom he betrayed many times, jumped in front of gunfire for him. Incredible.  The Reds would've moved any time they thought they'd prevail. They got fractious only when Ks weakness showed. When we forced him to stand up, they folded. Still had Cuba, though.

[TrueNovice]

@theshadow1932 They men who served with Kennedy in the US Navy liked and honored him because they knew him well. And you don't know anything.

[theshadow1932]

Look, I've already said I have no idea why any sailor would praise the guy. Frankly, I don;t know that they did. I'm taking you at your word. The word of a KENNEDY supporter! :-D I, on the other hand, I've listed several rotten things about the guy that are common knowledge and they don't matter. Good hair and a flashy smile can take a guy pretty far in some circles. Worked for Clinton, too.  You should get Edwards back in the race. By the criteria implied here, he'd be the best yet!

[candyear]

@theshadow1932

God's still not listening.

[motamanx]

Wrong. John Foster Dulles gave us Viet Nam, Bay of Pigs, etc

[ndyt]

motamanx, Dulles worked for JFK, JFK could have fired him at any time.

Freedom for the oppressed and occupied Palestinian people. Israel needs to stop its extremism and leave the West Bank once and for all.

[classicallady]

YT is blocking me from sharing this video Brave.

[kazooga1234]

send it through aim then or through PMs they cant stop Pms they stop all links that r in comment sections tho

[classicallady]

@kazooga I copy the link and sent it privately through PMs...but something is very fishy here....WTF when will YT stop the censorship?

[kazooga1234]

they only censor links to stop spaming when it comes to people who like to send porn vids and stuff in links thats y the do it and to make it so they dont go trolling on some1s page they dont like

[TimmyHaag]

@classicallady

It's not censorship genius and you know it. YouTube accounts are being stolen and it all starts with some sending you a link to a clone youtube site.

This is common knowledge with a very VERY simple solution; Exchange email addresses through PMing and stop bitching for the sake of being a bitch.

[CanterburyCat]

The name is not "Nazi" but it is still the same thing that is growing in the USA now.

[CivilRadiant]

that's what happens when you challenge the military industrial complex

[classicallady]

@Civil...and Eisenhower speeched about it. I have singned the petition against HystoryChannel

[Pellegrino80]

That's right Pres. Ike did talk about it and warned us.

[DowJones16WB]

President John Kennedy was the last real President that we had.All the rest were puppets to bad they took him out.

[titovalasques]

Well - they can't have a free thinking President running the show now, can they?

[log140]

first they killed them, now it`s time for defamation..
