Watching "The Day Kennedy Died" on the Smithsonian channel

[CatWoman]

so weird as I was on Michael Beschloss' Twitter and he had posted this earlier tonight:

Radical Right full-page anti-Kennedy ad in Dallas Morning News that confronted JFK on last morning of his life:
“Why have you ordered or permitted your brother Bobby, the Attorney General, to go soft on Communists, fellow travelers, and ultra-leftists...?”

this documentary is so damn sad, but I can't turn away.

Little did we know then that shootings such as this would become the American way of life

[Deuxcents]

1. I used to get the Smithsonian channel..loved it and then they took it off 😡

I’m gonna see if I can get it back as they have great programs…all except those air disasters. I wish I could see this one..

[CatWoman]

2. I am completely HOOKED on Air Disasters!!!!

3. Ooo..I can't watch..I don't like to fly to begin with! It's like watching a horror show..

I know they learn from the disasters to make things safer in the future but..

4. I don't like flyhing either, but that show simply amazes me

A loose nut, bolt, or lack of grease can cause a plane to sputter and dive headlong into a crash.

that absolutely frightens me.

crashes do not always come down to pilot error

5. True. Anything can happen..a flock of birds, even.

8. Consistently interesting youTube channel

Despite the title contains no graphic horror and deals with mostly man-made disasters. Lots of plane crashes.

6. Billionaire HL Hunt paid for that ad and denied it.

Bad look when you call the president a commie and said president gets murdered in your city.

I can't vouch for this source but:

~

Hunt developed extreme conservative political opinions...Along with two of his sons, Nelson Bunker Hunt and Lamar Hunt, he set-up a right-wing intelligence network, the International Committee for the Defence of Christian Culture.

Hunt also funded two right-wing radio shows, Facts Forum and Life Line. He used these radio stations to support the anti-communist campaign of Joseph McCarthy. He also helped to finance the political career of Lyndon B. Johnson.
~
It so happens that H. L. Hunt is also a long-time friend, admirer and financial 'angel' of the most prominent Texas politician of our time, Lyndon B. Johnson, the man who was destined to become President of the United States automatically the moment Kennedy died.

Hunt knew what would happen next if some wacko RW Texan with lots of guns saw that ad and decided JFK was the enemy who had to be stopped: LBJ.

7. I just realized yesterday it will be the 60th anniversary in

November. For many years it seemed nothing went right in the country after his death.

9. It appears to be available online

But I'm not seeing much movement. I'd really like to watch this. Nine year old kid in the Midlands of England. Well aware of who Pres. Kennedy was and saw the BBC newsflash at around 6.30pm Friday night 22 Nov.

11. Bad propaganda fail.

Why would a self-described Marxist (Lee Harvey Oswald) who had actually moved to the USSR, married a Russian, and tried to renounce his U.S. citizenship want to murder an "ultra-leftist" President who was "soft on Communists"?
