The Kennedy administration has been repackaged as something good and pure, when it was corrupt, and anti democratic. It was the Kennedy adminstration that set the precedent of wiretapping and spying on journalists. It was the Kennedy administration which delayed and interfered with civil rights and anti poverty programs. Kennedy could have stopped the Bay of Pigs invasion and prevented the Cuban missile crisis but did not. The Kennedy administration enabled the despotic brutal right wing dictatorships in Latin America and effectively launched the catastrophic Vietnam war. Instead, the very progressive Johnson administration gets blamed for the Vietnam war. It was the Johnson administration who launched some of the most used and important civil rights. legislation and social assistance programs. And as bad as Nixon may have been, he was the president who worked towards peace with China and russia and it was under his administration that proper environmental protection legislation was enacted. JFK was a corrupt, philandering, dishonest man, from a bigoted and corrupt family.
