And of course, "JFK" -- probably one of the most important (and btw, accurate) movies ever made. And how democrats can get caught up in the bandwagon of propaganda to slam such a movie, is somewhat shocking to me, but then again not, because it's typical of this bullshit era (referring to the other thread which is current now about "inaccurate historical movies&quot .
