Doyle;
The Kennedys represent the left wing of the democrats.  That is easy
to understand.  John ushered in the sixties in most peoples mind.
That is all this is about.  I don't see anything creepy about this.
For example racism he had would be the opposite of electing Obama.
Most African Americans aren't fooled by Kennedy any more than they are
owned by Clinton.  You find allies that make sense if you have little
real power.  And then things changed for the better as time marched on
with Kennedy.
