(40,849 posts)10. On the 50th anniversary of the shooting
We were here at my house, it was near Thanksgiving. My late brother-in-law sat in my living room and had the nerve to say out loud that JFKs death didnt bother him in the least because I never liked the guy. I was so shocked I didnt know what to say. My sister sat there and said nothing. I finally worked up the sense to say, Cmon Dave, if nothing else, he was our President and didnt deserve to get murdered in the street in cold blood. But Dave stuck to his guns that it was not that big a deal to him. Just mind boggling. Well I hope he liked LBJ who took Kennedys place. (Im sure he did not)

Wow. Yes I know FDR was hated by some. Never thought about them rejoicing at his death
