FF on balance, one of the last liberals to actually talk about addressing poverty. He didn't really live long enough to judge but had he lived I think he would have been a pretty good president.

There's such an exaggerated price placed on inspiring campaigns by the overly sentimental. That said, Bobby's ability to lie his way into being a hero of the left are admirable, and we can't discount his aptitude as a politician.

Yes, Bobby was clearly lying for 4 years in the Senate just to run for President. The old talking point that that Bobby was actually a McCarthyite right winger ignores his entire 3 years as Attorney General under JFK

Cathcon is of course right; the "muh Kennedy" sentiment imparted on this generation by their grandparents needs to end. Hopefully they won't be smug enough to think about the Sanders campaign in the same way the olds who supported McCarthy do these days.

Well he was literally a McCarthyite, so...

(And let's not pretend his actions while AG were in any way the type of stuff his supporters would've fawned over)

+Sent Federal Marshals and Agents to the South to protect MLK
+Sent Troops to protect James Meredith
+Prosecuted more voting rights violations than any AG before him
+Helped organize, and set in agreement the peace deal that stopped the CMC

As a politican, YUUGE FF. As a person, mixed feelings. Sometimes great (like his speech afer MLK slain), sometimes a little arrogant.

FF other than being anti-war.  His support for Israel (which was what got him assassinated) would not be welcome in the Democratic party of today.

I love this assertion - as if the presumptive Democratic nominee is not a solid backer of Israel.

All I'm saying is have you seen Hillary Clinton and Khaled Mashal, leader of the Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas, in the same room together? I didn't think so.

Israel is under attack by the Democrats. Democrats seek the destruction of Israel in all forms. No progress has or ever will be made by Democrats on the safety and a peaceful agreement for Israel.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama. All those names successfully destroyed any hope for peace in the Middle East and are Palestinian hogs.

Democrats have become very anti-Israel as of late.  The minute the New Left took over the party, they started taking a very anti-Semitic, pro-Palestinian turn.  Read these articles to see what I mean:
