Delusion Personified: RFK Jr. Says JFK Killed by Right-Winger

The level of denial and delusion reached by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just may trump everything else we have seen surrounding the Tucson shooting except for the gunman himself. Robert Kennedy Jr., in a column appearing in the Huffington Post actually believes and asserts that his uncle, JFK was killed as a result of right wing extremism. In Dupnik's case, it could be argued that he blamed the right without having all the facts - that would be generous. In Kennedy's case, the politics of Lee Harvey Oswald have been known for nearly fifty years; he was a Marxist.

That's not speculation. Watch him say it for yourself.



That doesn't stop RFK Jr.

Jack's death forced a national bout of self-examination. In 1964, Americans repudiated the forces of right-wing hatred and violence with an historic landslide in the presidential election between LBJ and Goldwater. For a while, the advocates of right-wing extremism receded from the public forum. Now they have returned with a vengeance -- to the broadcast media and to prominent positions in the political landscape.

Gabrielle Giffords lies in a hospital room fighting for her life, and a precious nine-year-old girl is dead along with five others. Let's pray for them and for our country and hope this tragedy prompts another round of examination of conscience.

In his entire diatribe, Kennedy doesn't once mention his uncle's killer or his politics. Instead, he does more than 47 years later what left wing ideologues did in the hours after the Safeway massacre. He demonizes those not involved while ignoring the profile of the killer.

Coincidentally, both Oswald and Loughner had a reverence for the Communist Manifesto. The assassin of RFK Jr.'s uncle was an avowed Marxist but don't let that get in the way of an agenda. He even labels Texas at the time of JFK's shooting as ground zero for right wing extremism. What are the odds? His uncle was assassinated by a Marxist in the hot bed of conservatism!

RFK Jr. should officially be considered deranged.

Here is a short clip from an ABC documentary from 2003. Not only was Oswald a Marxist but his upbringing makes the case of social conservatives - dysfunctional homes are incredibly destructive. It is beyond shameful that RFK Jr. is exploiting the assassination of his uncle to push a political agenda. It's even more shameful to do so with outright lies.
