Today is the 50th anniversary of the assination of JFK. I know there are members that were old enough to remember that day.

Where were you when you heard of the JFK assination?


I was in the 6th grade; just coming in from gym class. Waiting to get a drink of water. The principal told us over the P.A system.

Anyone one on the Grassy Knoll????????:no:

I was also in 6th grade... Principal came in and whispered something in our teacher's ear... she started crying as she was trying to tell us. Pretty soon, everybody was crying.

He wasn't as popular as people might think now... which, is probably what got him killed. We were just kids but we could quote his famous "Ask not... etc". We considered him a hero.

The "Ask not" speach was a rip-off his prep school's Head masters work. JFK was a slacker; a "Mucker" as his Head master would call him.

I was thinking of starting a thread on this subject myself. I was in 9th grade at the time. We were in class when the announcement came over the PA system. We were off school the next day and I was watching live when Jack Ruby shot Oswald. That was such an unforgetable day. Like 9/11 and the shooting of John Lennon, days I will always remember.

Funny thing about JFK. He's always been held up as an icon of the left. But by today's standards he would be considered a conservative.

NatGEO had a lot of good programming on last night relative to the shooting. Even the biopic, Killing Kennedy was very well done. Rob Lowe was very convincing as JFK.

I was a junior in high school and in wood shop when they announced it over the intercom.They let everyone go home early.I watched a special about the shooting that I believe was what happened.The fist and second shot came from Oswald but the third one that blew the side of his head off was from a secret service agent in the car behind the president.They said he had a m16 on the floor and picked it up and it was pointed towards Kennedy when he stumbled forward when the car lurched forward and he had his finger on the trigger and it went off shooting him in the head.There was a photo showing the agent holding the rifle but they said none of the agents had rifles.Needless to say the rifle disappeared and there was a big cover up so the secret service wouldn't be blaimed.

A born "delegator" or is it relegator.

JFK and Richard Nixon were very good friends. Both had been elected to congress in 1947. The both were in the USN in WWII. When any Democrat critisized Nixon; JFK would defend him to the max. That ended when they ran for president in 1960. Friendship and politics were another matter.

Most of the conspiraracy therorys were started by liberals. They couldn't believe that a Marxist looser acted alone. The Camalot business was started by Jackie to keep his legacy intact. When infact he was not that good of a president.

Oswald, in my opinion acted alone. He killed JFK to be in good graces with Castro. Although Castro may have known about it before hand. Castro wanted nothing to do with the assination. He had Jack Ruby through the Cuban Mafia kill Oswald. LBJ knew this. There was nothing done to Cuba because we just got over the Missle Crisis. LBJ was afraid of nuclar war if he pressed the matter. LBJ was not a Kennedy lover. He figured one less Kennedy was better than WWIII.

Joe Kennedy Sr. also had a lot to do with his sons murders. Joe Jr was murdered in WWII, Jack was murdered in Dallas, Bobby was murdered in LA, Roseie had a frontal labotomy and Teddy killed his chances in Chapaqudick. The Kennedys got there wealth through extorsion, bootlegging and poronography. They weren't a nice family at all.

There's more conspiracy theories about the assination of JFK than grains of sand on the beach. The mob, the Cubans, LBJ, the CIA, the list goes on and on. Most of the documents related to the assination were sealed for 100 years. By the time the full truth comes out we'll all be dead and gone.
