Subject: Brasscheck TV: RFK's legacy - and his ongoing assassination
It's headline news today that some people are outraged by Hilary Clinton's reference to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.
The current clamor is remarkable especially when you consider the following three real outrages.
The US news media:
1. Has never shown any interest in getting to the bottom of who killed Robert F. Kennedy.
Instead they repeat the preposterous story that he was shot in the back of the head at close range by someone ten feet in front of him.
2. They never refer to what he stood for including his opposition to the Vietnam war, his skepticism about the need for the US to support Israel, and his intention to continue his brother's work.
3. And they never, never comment on Kennedy's positive legacy.
In these three ways, the US news media continues the work of the 1968 assassins whose mission was to silenceKennedy and remove his ideas from debate.
Part of a man's legacy are his children.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - RFK's son - is an informed, insightful, well-spoken - and very effective - environmental and political activist.
How often do you see him on US news programs? How often is he asked for his opinions on talk shows?
Just about never.
There's a reason for that.
This video makes it clear what that reason is:
