(12,792 posts)and you seem to be avoiding my question about whether you were referring to Murchison (note spelling) Senior or Junior.
The "Irish Mafia" issue should be settled, why do you insist on shifting attention back to it? You are correct that it was used to refer to Irish-Americans surrounding JFK in a familiar way. I am, however, also correct in that it is sometimes used in a derogatory way by those who question JFK's crowd.
I never "tossed" the whole Brown/LBJ/Mucrhinson party story, in fact I think it is very much worth pursuing. The facts are certainly not clear to me, particularly in whether we are really talking about Murchison Junior or Senior. The only thing I am willing to "toss" is any discussion of LBJ, particularly since there are other more extreme right-wing entities associated with the Murchisons. I would view LBJ as a compromised individual who had become painfully aware of what he was up against on the Republican side.
