the Clintons I would say that.

Noting one similarity between two things without saying they are the same. Fire engines and apples are red, though fire engines make bad pies.

Of course the Kennedy brothers were not just like the Clintons in all things. Jack Kennedy got a lot more tail than Bill Clinton ever dreamed of and Bobby Kennedy's breasts were somewhat smaller than Hillary's. I think Bill and Hillary also "came to oppose Vietnam."

The statement you reference was that Jack and Bobby were similar to the Clintons insofar as they were a dynastic, symbolic duo utterly hated by Republicans in a bitter, partisan way and were lightning rods for RW bile. It is what it is. The Clintons can be the most horrible people to have ever lived and it wouldn't change that observation.
