Ripped From The Sidebar! [OregonMuse]
— Open Blogger

I tend to look at Washington Post columnist George Will as one of those tame 'house' conservatives who doesn't dare get too rambunctious or else he won't get invited to the D.C. swells' cocktail parties. Perhaps I'm being unfair. But nevertheless, I don't read him all that often.

But occasionally he'll line one over the outfielder's glove for extra bases. Like this column here, that I pulled out of the sidebar a day or two ago. In it, Will talks about how the liberals shifted the responsibility for JFK's assassination from an actual person to a a vague, amorphous 'culture' or 'Spiral of Hate'. And he argues that it ruined liberalism, turning it into something warped and deranged:

The bullets of Nov. 22, 1963, altered the nationÂ’s trajectory less by killing a president than by giving birth to a destructive narrative about America. Fittingly, the narrative was most injurious to the narrators. Their recasting of the tragedy in order to validate their curdled conception of the nation marked a ruinous turn for liberalism, beginning its decline from political dominance.

Punitive liberalism preached the necessity of national repentance for a history of crimes and misdeeds that had produced a present so poisonous that it murdered a president. To be a liberal would mean being a scold. Liberalism would become the doctrine of grievance groups owed redress for cumulative inherited injuries inflicted by the nationÂ’s tawdry history, toxic present and ominous future.

As the poet says, read the whole thing. The JFK assassination may have been the first time that liberals blamed a national tragedy on 'right wing hate'. And they've been getting lots of practice ever since.

8 George Will... "blah blah blah."

No thanks, won't read.  But I will say, as I like to whenever JFK's name gets mentioned:  he was killed by his Secret Service agent in the car behind him.  Accidentally, of course.  No conspiracy, no magic bullets.  Just one tragic accidental firing of an AR-15.

So yeah, maybe that's what has the libs all up in arms (so to speak).  Those pesky  "assault weapons,"  going off all over the place where they  shouldn't.

10 There is speculation that Zero created EBTnado to create riots to blame on the hate-right. There is also speculation that Zero is trying to set some McVeigh off so the violence can be blamed on the hate-right. So whoever does whatever everyone believes it will be blamed on the right.

It's not that bad.  There's a book, called "Mortal Error" that presents a theory from a ballistics expert that, given  the trajectory and the angle of the fatal headshot, the most likely source was from the SS car behind Kennedy's.  There was an AR-15 in the car, there is a photo showing the SS agent holding it as the car sped away  after the shots. 

He makes a compelling case.

Do I believe it?

Heck, I don't know, but it makes a lot more sense than  plenty of the nutty conspiracy theories that are out there.

Wheatie, JFK would   be an interesting character in today's politics. Fiscally he would be reasonable conservative, yet liberal on social issues. His death caused an overreaction to the welfare   state        he gave lip service to but never would have funded to the extent we saw even in the late 60's.

Ironically, there is also a credible theory out there that RFK was killed by an accidental shooting from a security guard who was in the room when Sirhan was firing.  He probably did discharge his weapon, and no one has done any  real work to find out the caliber and angles of the rounds that hit Kennedy, nor if I recall, the other people who were hit that day along with RFK.

37 If I were a guy that made up conspiracies, this would be mine. Of course, I'm just makin' this up. John and Bobby Kennedy tried to get Fidel Castro killed, several times. Probably really bothered that SOB. John, and especially Bobby, had a real hard on for the Mob, and especially the Teamsters, who were all mobbed up at the time, and solid Democrat supporters. Bobby Kennedy really went after Jimmy Hoffa hard. Combine the mob presence in Cuba prior to Castro, and the attempts to kill Castro by the Kennedy Administration, I think Castro wanted to kill Kennedy. I think he got a hold on Oswald (through an agent) and got him to shoot at Kennedy (and it might be true that his security actually accidentally administered the kill shot). Then the mob had Oswald killed (Jack Ruby). There is a rumor that LBJ knew the truth of it all and suppressed it to prevent WWIII, or at least an invasion of Cuba. 'Course, that's just me spinnin' a yarn.

Sure, but some are more easily refutable than others.  This one, from the best I can gather, has never really been challenged, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that  it's lost in a sea of nutty theories.

I read the book.  You don't have be believe me, but I'm telling you if  you did I think you would find it at least plausible.

To me the least acceptable aspect of is is the perfectness of the situation that would have had to occur, in that the weapon was accidentally discharged, and it just happened to be  aimed at Kennedy's head. 

Improbably, and unlikely, but obviously not impossible.

Posted by: Seamus Muldoon at October 12, 2013 04:10 PM (N/Sup)

48 Liberalism has always been full of scolds--off the top of my head, WWI being somehow the fault of capitalists and showing the bankruptcy of Western civilization, the Great Depression being the fault of capitalists, and counterculture literature from the 50s.  For that matter, we've had plenty of our own scolds.  If you disagree with a large portion of other people on a subject, chances are you're going to wind up being a scold.  Asking people to do otherwise is like asking Yankees and Boston fans to just be supportive and friendly instead of knocking the other team 24/7.

What was unique about the reaction to the Kennedy assassination is that the scolding bore absolutely no relation or had any connection to what actually happened and solidified so thoroughly that liberals still blame his death on the right to this day.

The Kennedy yarns are many and fun, especially if you were a local.

 

Ruby's lawyer was a guy named Carrol Journegon (sp?). He used to let me bass fish in some nice little stock tanks where he lived. This would have been the mid-70's. He was crazy as a loon, though some said he just acted crazy to stay alive. I would fish and he would from a tablet for hours sometimes shouting, sometimes whispering. There might have been hidden messsages in his rantings about Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon, but if  so  they were beyond me. The price to fish was a pint of whiskey, and the fishing was good.

 

The odd thing was where Carrol lived. He lived right on the edge of Rose Hill Cemetary, and no house was as close to Oswald's grave as Carrol's.

To be clear, it's not as though the other scoldings I mentioned had a significant connection to what happened, but at least you can kinda see people clicking neurons together.  It's easy to see how somebody who wasn't well-versed in economics or the financial system could blame the Great Depression on capitalists or bankers.  How a very large portion of the country could blame an assassination by a pro-Castro supporter, who had defected to the Soviet Union, on the right and hold steadfastly to that idea is an entirely different story.

Okay, here's a comment on the George Will article.  He was born in 1941, so he was 20 years old or so in 1961.  Now, at age 72 he is writing a column attempting to link the rift between right and left in this country to what was probably the seminal event in his 'coming-of-age' phase of life.  When in fact, the battle between forces of statism versus individualism has been waged for millennia.  Ultimately, this is a self-referential column.  I find it to be   of little usefulness in today's political climate.

 

 

And I'll bet George Will has never been to Peruvia.

90 78 Okay, here's a comment on the George Will article. He was born in 1941, so he was 20 years old or so in 1961. Now, at age 72 he is writing a column attempting to link the rift between right and left in this country to what was probably the seminal event in his 'coming-of-age' phase of life. When in fact, the battle between forces of statism versus individualism has been waged for millennia. Ultimately, this is a self-referential column. I find it to be of little usefulness in today's political climate.


And I'll bet George Will has never been to Peruvia.

104 *comes tumbling into the thread and lands in catlike defensive stance* WOO! Good evening, y'all! *standing and dusting self off* As I always say, George Will and I disagree on a variety of things, but he is always a good read and very articulate. When he actually makes the conservative case he does it as well as, if not better than, just about anyone outside of Levin and Steyn. PS - So, are the EBT cards still getting turned down around the country? I shouldn't laugh, and yet... Note that the Mississippi source was blaming a power failure at a Xerox facility. Xerox, as in the same company that was all COVERED with red in that screenshot of that Obamacare Exchange readiness spreadsheet ace posted on Friday. Coinkydink? I think not.

- - -- - - Wheatie, JFK would be an interesting character in today's politics. Fiscally he would be reasonable conservative, yet liberal on social issues. His death caused an overreaction to the welfare state he gave lip service to but never would have funded to the extent we saw even in the late 60's. Posted by: Meremortal at October 12, 2013 07:57 PM (1Y+hH) I'm not sure about that. RFK ended up further to the left than JFK, and Teddy went way left - because it was politically expedient. I don't think any of the Kennedys  had morals or strong convictions beside the conviction that Kennedys Should Rule.

 

It's funny though - my sister's husband is a boomer of Irish descent. In most respects, he's as conservative as me. He hates Obama and hated Fat Teddy. But you can't say a word of criticism about JFK around him - he actually gets angry if you do. I don't know if it's his age (I can't remember JFK's assassination, so I don't have that "where were you when you heard?"memory that is such a vivid memory for older boomers.) or his ancestry. Older Irish-Americans really seem to view him in a haze of misty nostagia - he's the guy who made them hip and cool.

 

 (Not all Irish-Americans of course - P.J. O'Rourke, bless him, referred to the Kennedy adminstration as "the bogtrotters' circus.")

125 103 -

You don't have to  read  it, but  everything regarding the trajectory and the number of rounds fired, and  the nature of Kennedy's wounds are covered in the book.

The author doesn't state unequivocally  that the ballistics expert's views are  correct, just that they  believe they have not been fully investigated or disproven.  

If you like a good read, I would definitely recommend the book, and here I am, just putting it out there, not claiming I believe it, so again, take it for what it's worth. 


Posted by: BurtTC at October 12, 2013 04:35 PM (BeSEI)

126 There was a book written some time ago claiming Kennedy was accidentally shot by his Secret Service team. They supposedly did tests and claim the headshot could only have come from a .223 bullet. Also, Johnson reportedly alluded to it once when asked about SS protection for him.

Short answer: the agency was already on thin ice, and would not have survived  if it had been known.

I know I might catch heat for the compariso
n, but this was the seminal national tragedy for most of his life. For that guy it's almost certainly the type of reaction you'd get from listening to a foreigner try to argue the "other side" or 9/11.  It's emotional.  Sure, you could explain to him why he's wrong--and, yet, a punch in the face seems the most appropriate response.

There was also the first Catholic President aspect to it, which is hard to grasp now.  I don't think it's a coincidence that O'Rourke, who's knocked the Kennedys more than any other Irishman I've ever read, isn't one.

172 There was a kids' book on Anwar Sadat one of my sons checked out of the public library some years ago that said Sadat was assassinated by "conservatives." At the bottom of the page the word "conservatives" was defined as "people who are against progress and who especially oppose peace treaties." Heh. Anyway, the book was published in the 80's, so I guess Reagan and Thatcher have to be suspects.

The brain DID NOT get splattered all over the back.  The goo came out the front, and what DID go flying backward was the front right side of JFK's skull.  More like it was flipped up in the air, and as the car was moving, it landed on the trunk.  Jackie was going back to retrieve it was Clint Hill jump on the car, and  pushed her back down and into the car as it sped off.

So I have your "Shutdown theater" story for the day.

The Academic conference for my field is in 10 days. I'm not going this year, but I got an email saying that the Q&A with the chair of the President's Council for Bioethics was likely to be canceled because of the shutdown.

 

Except she's not actually a government employee. In fact she's the president of the University of Pennsylvania, who probably is the group paying for her trip to the conference anyway (or at least could.)

But SHUTDOWN, so she's not allowed to even talk about it.

(Frankly I don't care, the stuff coming out of this committee is crap of the highest order, pure utter crap. But I thought the story was funny because SHUTDOWN)

There was also the first Catholic President aspect to it, which is hard to grasp now. I don't think it's a coincidence that O'Rourke, who's knocked the Kennedys more than any other Irishman I've ever read, isn't one. Posted by: AD at October 12, 2013 08:43 PM (NmpZu)

 

Yep. It is also why my parents felt so attached to JFK. (Catholic but not Irish.) I didn't realize the prejudice against Catholics was so strong until an ex-boyfriend of mine, a Lutheran, told me his mother almost delivered him in the back seat of the car. He's from rural, downstate Illinois and his mother wouldn't go to the closest hospital - because it was Catholic and she didn't want all those nuns and statues of saints around.

 

When my boyfriend told this story, his relatives all laughed. Ah yes, mom sure had her quirks! As the only Catholic present, I was not as amused.

213 Within 4 hours of Kennedy's death I saw a political scienc e prof at my school standing on a table in the cafeteria screaming about the FBI and the CIA as his murderers. The fact Oswald was a communist was always denied although his wife admitted it. the conspiracy nuts were nourished by the left to cover up this unpleasant fact. What is needed now is more madness by the left to provoke a reaction to it like the one produced in 1968. That rendered it impotent, and it probably would have remained so for several generations, if it had not been for Nixon. By the way Nixon hated the press. He was right.

You could be right. But my brother is a major lib and I am very conservative. As far as political animals, it's speculation but here's mine. Bobby was the most grounded even though he was very liberal. He believed it. Jack was in the middle, had principles but would bend for the political win. Teddy, pfffht, no explanation needed.

 

My uncle acted as JFK's interpretor when the Italian Prime Minister came to visit Kennedy shortly after he took office, so I heard a little  about JFK back then from the inside.

I remember my parents talking at the dinner table about it and saying there were too many things in the book that didn't make sense. I also cannot ever remember not knowing that Oswald had gone to Russia and had come back with a Russian wife. It was always known he was a communist and that he was handing out those flyers for "Fair Play for Cuba".

Kennedy (JFK) was killed by a cuban sympathizing communist that had defected to Russia and returned.  To admit it to us simple middle Americans could never be done. 

 

they were so afraid that we'd expect our betters in DC to DO Something.  They were afraid we'd expect them to declare war after the murderous scum bag communists were associated with a pathetic, wanna-be communist that killed the President of the US.  That would mess up all their wonderful plans, ideas, and playing hide the salami with the secretarial pool.  That would be inconvenient. 

 

So they blamed EVERYONE but the communists.

Most of the shit coming out of this commission doesn't even know basic shit (like laws).  Or where they try to reason by analogy they get it all backwards.

(They spend 2 pages looking at the comparison of whole genome sequences to fingerprints, which is a fairly apt comparison I think, but then conclude that a whole genome sequence shouldn't be considered "a personal identifier" just like fingerprints since it requires a database to match with an identity.

Except fingerprints are considered by HIPAA to be a personal identifier..so oops I guess?)

But it does seem odd to me to tell someone they can't travel on their private institutional dime and talk about their experiences on a government commission because...shutdown? That's a dangerous precedent, that the government owns every interaction we have with them. (Of course not unlike the national park closing.)

I'm still in the trenches.  I avoid the politics of academia like the plague.  Obviously, I'm conservative.  Then, I'm military.  I'm a threat to everything they stand for (or bow to... pick).  When the chancellor calls everyone it I ignore it.

I have 150 minds, dreams, goals, who listen to me 3 times a week.  That's where I make the difference. 

I never bring politics to class.  Ever.  I emphasize first principles, excellence and achievement.  With a sledgehammer.

271 From the JFK meth-head thread...

60 Speaking of JFK, the History Channel duplicated the so-called magic bullet shot exactly.

An Australian company created two ballistic mannequins, of the type armies now use to test weapons; in the past they used live pigs. These were made of gelatine, resin bones, and chamois skin.

They hired a marksman (Oswald was a former marine and an expert shot) and put him in a crane at the right distance and angle. The mannequins were positioned where Kennedy and Connally sat in the limo, and the marksman fired.

Not only did the shot almost exactly duplicate the multiple wounds inflicted on Kennedy and Connally, the recovered bullet looked remarkably like the slightly flattened "magic bullet."

Very compelling argument that Oswald was the single shooter, which I'd concluded a long time ago.

Seeing Barack Obama as someone who has a victim mentality would explain a lot. That mentality relies on believing one has been harmed, that one was not responsible for the injuries that occurred, that one could not have prevented what happened and that the personÂ’s suffering makes that person morally right and deserving of sympathy....if he sees himself as having been taken hostage by kidnappers who want to blow him up, it is too much to expect him to hear any truths these “kidnappers” might want to share.  Victims arenÂ’t expected to lead.  They expect to be rescued.

Senate Republicans are doubtful the House will be able to come up with a plan that can pass. “The House seems to be having a hard time.

Too bad Amishdude isn't here to see that.

 

True story: One of my uncles is a mathematician, works in cryptology I believe. Many decades ago, he had a shirt with the little alligator logo on it. he liked the shirt, but that cutesy little logo annoyed him, so he cut it off, leaving a hole behind. Then afterwards he walked around wearing a shirt with a hole in the chest, and when anyone pointed that out, he would reply, "Well, it was a nice shirt but it had this stupid alligator on it..."

It only contains a small bit of lubricant, and really should not be used with lubrication in mind. It works fairly well as solvent cleaner, but on moving parts, it is my opinion that it should wiped off of working surfaces, and those surfaces lubed with the appropriate stuff. It is billed as a water displacer, and it probably is the right thing to use if some mechanical mechanism has been wetted, and it is not convenient or possible to disassemble and dry/clean/lube. Great stuff, but not a miracle worker, nor often the best way to deal with things. Having said that, I keep a can around for uses like wiping the tables of my machine tools.

356 After a slow start with a lot of laughers, the MLB playoffs have gotten really good. Too bad nobody is watching. Oh, Boston-Detroit 0-0 thru 4 and a half. Sanchez with a no-hitter and 9 Ks in four innings pitched.

362 Pretty much what I was thinking. Can be useful for cleaning old guns and help remove tough fouling. I would use a heavier oil in addition to WD40 and a bore cleaner. If you had to maintain a gun with only one product it might be a decent choice. But don't do that.

363 Wikipedia is on top of things: On October 12, in game one of the American League Championship Series against the Boston Red Sox, Sánchez became the second player in Major League history to strikeout four batters in one inning during the postseason, following Orval Overall in the 1908 World Series.

Oswald's communism, his sojourn in Russia, and his Russian wife, Marina were all well-publicized back in the day. I don't remember ever not knowing those facts, once it had been published in the Canadian newspapers.

Sure, Canadian newspapers. And someone who reads the UK Daily Mail in current times would be well-informed about what's happening in the U.S. But if they read the New York Times ("The Paper of Record" "All The News That's Fit To Print"), not so much.

The answer to that question is no.

But I would love to see a debate between her and Mary Cloggenstein from Brattleboro, Vermont.
