General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy believed President Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy. [View all]AntiFascist
(12,792 posts)although the Kennedys and their aides may have endured being called the Irish Mafia jokingly, and perhaps grew used to it, the real Irish Mob was a distinct entity. As I pointed out, there are references to Joseph Kennedy's relationship during Prohibition. Some (not including myself) even cite a dispute between the Irish and Italian mafias as resulting in the Assassination. I find your use of the term, where you are clearly on the side of those calling into question the character of members of the Kennedy family, to be in very poor taste. Apparently you are oblivious to all this. No doubt, if and when more evidence is brought forth about RFK's conspiratorial beliefs, you will then completely turn on him, in addition to his children.
Other family details have been brought out in the open via Rory Kennedy:

One of her favorite stories is that when Robert was attorney general, Ethel would take the older kids to watch sharpshooters in the basement of the FBI building (the bureau fell under Robert Kennedys jurisdiction).
Kathleen says in the documentary, One day she noticed a suggestion box. She took out her signature red pen, wrote, Get a new director and put it in the box.
Rory Kennedy who will be joined by her mother and about 25 other family members for the premiere in Park City, Utah adds that longtime FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, no fan of his nominal boss Robert Kennedy, quickly discovered what happened.
