Great Kennedy haters of history
Kennedy hatred may almost be extinct, but we’ll always have the memories. Some haters of note:
Richard Nixon: Lost 1960 presidential election because JFK looked better on TV.
Fidel Castro: Three words: Bay of Pigs. Plus, Jack and Bobby apparently sanctioned his assassination.
J. Edgar Hoover: Freaky FBI honcho’s influence ebbed after clashes with Bobby.
Jimmy Carter: Sitting president challenged by Teddy in 1980 Democratic primary. WTF?
Martha-Ann Bomgardner: Cried like a baby when Teddy was mean to her husband, then–Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito.
Howie Carr: Populist conservative can’t stand Kennedy clan’s patrician liberalism.
