Has anyone seen Bobby Kennedy for President

[Upthevibe]

on Netflix? I'm watching Sunday Morning now and find myself in tears thinking about what might have been....I was 10 years old in '68 when he was killed.

1. I was in college and remember that well -

But to tell you the truth, lately I've got so sick of listening to Chris Matthews flog his book that I've been more or less ignoring everything about RFK.

3. Matthew's non-stop pimping of his RFK book is totally out of hand.

I loved and will always love Bobby Kennedy. But I refuse to watch any program that allows Matthews to continue the sales-pitch of his book. Shut the fuck up, Chris!

2. I was 11 years old

It was the assignment for the day in the 5th grade to watch the convention in L.A. that night. I was watching it when it occurred and it was horrible.



Oh what could have been.

4. I will NEVER forget 1968, despite how young I was. It left a lasting mark on me, for sure

I've not yet seen the CNN 4 part series titled 1968, but I'd like to.

They talk about 'violent video games' today, but damn, the real violence we saw on tv, from Vietnam, to assassinations to violent clashes between police and demonstrators surely had an impact...

5. Saw it. Tons of footage I'd

never seen before.

Of course, it's easy to project a lot onto Bobby. He may not have won the presidency that year. He may not have been an effective president. And he never got a chance to let us down.

With that said, he was a truly good and decent man and regardless of what his political trajectory may have been, the country was far poorer for the loss of him.

6. I'm definitely going to check it out. I quit Watching Chris Matthews

quite some time ago. The dude just gets on my nerves WAY too much. I can only imagine his jammering about his book...ugh...

7. Yes, and one line stood out

"You couldn't coach him." His authenticity level was off the charts.

People still respond to straightforwardness and honesty, for better or worse as we've seen. More politicians on our side should give it a try.

8. Ace Security guard Thane Eugene Cesar shot Bobby from behind, only inches away

He was escorting RFK through the door to the Ambassador Hotel kitchen and was directly behind him on the right side.

Multiple eyewitnesses testified that the closest Sirhan Sirhan ever got to Bobby was between 4 to 8 feet away, in FRONT of him.

Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner for the County of Los Angeles, Thomas Noguchi, "stated that the fatal shot was behind Kennedy's right ear and had been fired at a distance of approximately one inch." (Wikipedia)

Bobby was killed by a .22-caliber bullet.
Cesar admitted that he did own a .22-caliber Harrington & Richardson pistol and showed it to LAPD Sergeant P.E. O'Steen on June 24, 1968.
But when LAPD interviewed Cesar 3 years later, he claimed he had sold the gun before the assassination to a man named Jim Yoder.
Assassination researcher William W. Turner tracked down Yoder in October, 1972.
Yoder still had the receipt for the H&R pistol, which was dated September 6, 1968, and bore Cesar's signature, indicating that Cesar had sold the pistol three months after Kennedy's assassination, contradicting his 1971 claim that he had sold the weapon months before it.

We don't have Netflix, so we can't watch the Bobby Kennedy program.

Progressive political writer Michael Parenti has lectured extensively on the Kennedy assassinations and has written 23 books on various political topics.
I was just yesterday listening to a taped lecture he gave mentioning the RFK assassination, which is available from "TUC Radio"
https://tucradio.org/michael-parenti/

In the tape I heard, Parenti talks about how even such notables on the "Left" such as Alexander Coburn and Noam Chomsky are in denial about both JFK's and RFK's assassinations, and consider any mention of "multiple gunmen" in either assassination as merely the result of "Camelot dreamers"

(Both Chomsky & Coburn are full of shit, in my opinion)

Another very good source of true information on the Kennedy assassinations is Dr. Peter Dale Scott, who used to teach at U.C. Berkeley. and who has written many books on the subject.
