84. good point about joe kennedy...
Hell, why look at Nazis in Germany and Austria? We can look here at home. For ecample, Henry Ford was a huge antisemite and did support the Nazis to some extent. Say, his son (or is it his grandson?) were to run for something today, should his fathers loony antisemitsm come into picture. Of course not, enviornmentalists, would attack Ford on the fact that his company produces vehicles with terrible fuel effeciency and these attacks would be the right ones.

The point of this is that his daddy being a Nazi is a non starter with most people, and many people just a generation or two before this one IN THIS NATION, did not agree with the idea that people of all races should have equal rights. Just a few generations ago in THIS NATION, we had a war partly over this issue. Many in the south have confederate g-grandfathers. Many of those people are also against such beliefs.

I could go on...but I won't. This issue is a non starter.
