Killing's impact lost on today's students
Louisville Courier Journal, KY - 11-22-03
Taking student yawns and heavy eyelids as vital signs,
professor Ben Harrison says he has watched Camelot slowly die, as young
people shove the assassination of President John Kennedy deeper into the
history books.
"I don't see the nostalgia or the hero worship that I used to see," said
Harrison, a history professor for 30 years at the University of Louisville.
"Just a few years back, people were much more interested....

Acceptance of the New York Liberal Party Nomination
September 14, 1960 - John F. Kennedy
What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by
"Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in
his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned
with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members
demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." |
Family Members Visit Kennedy's Grave
ABC News - 11-22-03
WASHINGTON Nov. 22 — Family members visited President Kennedy's grave site
in Arlington National Cemetery Saturday.
His daughter, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, his brother, Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy, D-Mass., and others knelt before the eternal flame that is a
memorial to the late president and laid flowers on the stones. |
Will W lay a wreath on Kennedy's grave today?

Crunch Time
On November 22, I celebrated my 53rd
birthday. Hold on, allow me to
rephrase the preceding sentence. On November 22, I acknowledged my 53rd
birthday. Like mine, a handful of birth dates are freighted with the
burden of history or cultural tradition. December 25 (my son’s
birthday), July 4, December 7 and September 11 come to mind. It seems
there’s always a pall over the party if a tragedy is involved or a
distraction if a holiday conflicts.
Forty years ago, John F. Kennedy was murdered and things starting
changing in this country.

Gen.
Franks:
WMD Could End
the Constitution
and Republic
Newsmax.com 11-22-03
Gen. Tommy Franks, who recently retired as head of Central Command,
warns that
if terrorists succeed in using a weapon of mass destruction against the U.S.
or one of
our allies, it would likely bring an end to our Constitution and could give rise
to a military form of government
Sounds like we should be getting
ready for another attack. Stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting to
hold our constitution together!
A series of shocking pictures revealing US soldiers tying
up Iraqi women and children in their own home has provoked international
outrage.
The occupying forces have now come under renewed fire for their treatment of
ordinary Iraqis as shown in the pictures published by Aljazeera.net.

Gerald Ford stands by Warren Commission
San Jose Mercury News, CA - 11-22-03
... President Lyndon B. Johnson, who wanted Ford, then a
high-ranking House Republican,
to
serve on a seven-member commission that would investigate the murder.
"I told him I couldn't do it because of my responsibilities in the House of
Representatives," Ford said in a
recent
interview. "But, in a typical LBJ technique, he twisted my arm and that's how it
happened."...
Gerald Ford, in a 1975 presidential
debate, argued that Poland wasn't part of the Soviet Union. Another GOP shining
star. Maybe that is why LBJ insisted he serve on the Warren Commission.
"[T]he way people talk about the Kennedy assassination is
this: they almost always start it with "I remember where I was." I, I, I, me,
me, me. And the sad thing about the assassination it has become yet another
excuse for that generation, the baby boom generation to talk about itself."

SUBJECT: Your comments yesterday about Bush wishing he
could gag the US media
Lisa,
Dubya doesn't need to gag the press here. They do it on their own, voluntarily.
Yesterday, for instance, it was all Michael Jackson, all the time!

You are absolutely correct. I
thought I was in the land of the free when I wrote that.

Today's 'toon considers the 9-11 Commission's compromise with the White House
Comments about Dan Tyler's column
Thank you Dan & Lisa. I believe as well, that it's all
connected, these 'losses
of democracy.' Bit by bit, the pieces just seem to fall right into place for
the money/corporate people. The Kennedy brothers, Dr. King, Medgar Evers,
Malcolm X, 9/11...the list keeps getting bigger, and the American citizen keeps
paying for it.
I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, right underneath that Kennedy aura that is still
so powerful, raised by my grandmother who told me about true democracy and the
men behind it - Kennedy, FDR, Lincoln. She and my mother are still haunted by
that morning in Fort Worth when they met President Kennedy outside the Hotel
Texas. My mother shook his hand, only to learn just a short time later that he
was gone.
What price are we going to be paying next?
Thanks again for the article, and the wonderful 'oasis' to re-charge my
sanity...

Crunch Time; Well written and researched. Our country is now
minority ruled by
wrong wing capitalists and white wing Christian extremists of the same ilk that
murdered liberals Lincoln, Kennedy, King and even Jesus. We're in deep scat here
and I fear for our country's survival.

Dear Lisa,
Thank-you so much for publishing Dan's column on the JFK murder. I have for a
long time thought that the smirk on that chimp's face was an affirmation of the
fact that the plan that his father's friends put into play in Dallas in '63 was
going just as they had all hoped. I too see a connection between that tragedy
and the one on 9/11. "Follow the money" as Oliver Stone advised us in his movie
JFK.
Please treat us to more of Dan's columns. It helps to know that others have the
same dark suspicions regarding these events.
Sincerely,
Phil Schultz

Depressing to hear that children actually celebrated a
presidents assination.
Reality really bites.
Excellent.
Very poignant. It's great to have you here, Dan. Keep up the
good work.

Thank you all for your responses.
I only posted a few of the many responses, all were positive.

Page: Rush could make an effective case for drug reforms
Salt Lake Tribune, UT - 11-22-03
WASHINGTON -- Rush Limbaugh is back on the air after five weeks of drug
rehabilitation, although experts say it could be weeks before Ol' Rushbo
recovers his full sense of self-importance.
His return sermon bombarded listeners with fusillades of what sounded a lot
like humility, evidence that his rehabilitative treatment had broken down
his defenses, cracked through his sense of denial and gotten him in touch
with his feelings, as well as his audience...

"Vice President Dick Cheney has given another speech
linking Saddam Hussein with the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Didn't President Bush
say Saddam Hussein has nothing to do with the terrorist attacks? Here's my
question, what if it turns out that Dick Cheney is the dumb one?" —Jay
Leno
