    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Scott K. Petersen

    I'm not sure why a bunch of people are returning to the JFK thread tonight, but a reminder: he never responded to a single one of my numerous criticisms regarding JFK's presidency, & retreated to Kennedy's Senate record. That happened for a reason. Read both threads: you'll see.https://twitter.com/ScottKPetersen/status/1136100788688887808 …

    It's almost painful to watch Baseball Head repeatedly ram his head into the Brick Wall of History, @KevinMKruse. Almost, that is, if it weren't so damn funny. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1105204648120631302 …

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        Kennedy was a solid cold warrior - boosted US military spending after Ike and ideologically firmly believed in American exceptionalism. As a side matter, Kennedy cut taxes and presided over the death penalty. Hard to see Kennedy as any sort of liberal of his own time

        Also, Kennedy consulted with General MacArthur on Vietnam and was an opponent of easy money - again hardly the conventional American liberal position

        Not to put too fine a point on it, but you don't have one. I suppose it's too much to ask in these days of the intellectual bankruptcy of the right wing that you consider the historical context of the times, but.. /1

        the more fundamental question is of what value is the comparison that you are so straining to make? /2

        Jeremy (יעקב) Retweeted Kevin M. Kruse

        He made multiple explicit references to JFK's presidency https://www.twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826914127134726 … https://www.twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826915741986818 … https://www.twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826916530540544 … https://www.twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826918103367681 … https://www.twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826918870925313 … I am seeing the opposite of what you said. He speaks mostly about his presidency, little about Senate

        Jeremy (יעקב) added,

        Third, in addition to these beliefs, JFK was a proponent of strong government programs to promote welfare. He promoted expanding Social Security and called for what would become Medicare in this speech in Madison Square Garden in May 1962. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXUJErr_vfo …

        Yes, in his original thread, large parts of which I debunked. After which he tried to claim victory by ignoring all that.
