The kind of liberal JFK was compared to the kind of liberals that
now make up the Democrat Party are like apples and oranges. They
have nothing in common.

Total Limbaugh brainwashed bull****. I am and always have been,
since 1960 a JFK "liberal", and proud of it.

Does that apply to the revolving door on your bedroom, Sanders?


Yet you imagine me to be in your fetid twisted imagination, some
lefty-pink-commie, simply because I have consistently opposed a war
in Iraq that JFK would *never* have gotten us into.

Exactly which buildings in Washington and Manhattan were demolished by
terrorists during the JFK administration?

JFK was a fervent anti-communist, so much so in fact that he said he
would have voted for Nixon if had not won the democrat nomination
for president.

Half true, half false.

AFAIK all true.

As president, he inherited the most dangerous
position in American history (far more dangerous than Al Queda) - at
the helm of an America engulfed in the nuclear arms race/"cold war"
with a bully named Nikita Kruschev attempting to intimidate him.

Exactly which buildings in Washington and Manhattan were demolished by
Khrushchev during the JFK administration?

Yet after the Cuban Missile Crisis, and his Berlin Wall speech, he
succeeded in gaining not only Kruschev's respect but also initiated
the original "dentente" with Kruschev by having Kruschev sign the
first nuclear test-ban treaty. All in a few short years.

Arguably, Kennedy encouraged Khrushchev to be more adventurous because
Khrushchev knew Kennedy as a very sick womanizer. Khrushchev, being
basically a simple man, had no moral respect for Kennedy's complexity.
Khrushchev would have never tried the same shtick with Eisenhower or Nixon
because he had too much moral respect for them.

Nixon was the antithesis of everything Kennedy stood for.

Except that they in fact agreed about a large number of elements of domestic
and foreign policy. For example, Nixon agreed with Kennedy about the need to
vacate Vietnam. It's just that Nixon inherited the bigger mess and it was
more difficult for him to extricate himself from it.

"Detente",
by the way, was just a word Kissinger stole from Kennedy, to describe
what he was trying to do with Breznev, none of which Nixon ever
understood.

Sanders claim that he can accurately read Nixon's mind are noted. It seems
to be a common delusion on RAO these days, particularly within the Middius
cult.

Nixon, when it came to Russia and China, was nothing
more than a political opportunist, attempting to divert attention
from his criminal involvement in Watergate.

The only trouble with these claims being the time table. Nixon visited
China on Feb.21,1972, but the Watergate break-in took place on June 17,
1972. Sanders grotesque ignorance of relevant historical facts is noted.

Today, a liberal democrat is essentially a communist.

Clearly you've od'd on your pabulum of Rush Limbaugh today. Oh,
that's right, Rush doesn't realize the Soviet Union collapsed well
over a decade ago either - he's been too spaced out for the past 15
years on illegally traded illicit drugs. The Senator Joe McCarthy
bit hasn't flown for many decades. Apparently you've been asleep for
over 45 years, Bugeater (probably long before you were born).

At least Mike doesn't tell the world that Nixon visited China to distract
people's attention from a Watergate break-in that happened about 5 months
later...

LOL!
