What does America’s version of Pravda do? The New York Times give Paul Gregory a platform to write about being a ‘friend’ of Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who assassinated John K Kennedy.
My father recounted that weekend’s events to me a few days later over Thanksgiving dinner, when I returned home from the University of Oklahoma, where I had just begun graduate school. Through my father, I had become a close — or, as Robert Oswald would later say, almost the only — friend of Lee and Marina Oswald’s from virtually the moment they arrived in Fort Worth, in June 1962, until the end of that November. While that five-month period might seem fleeting, it was a significant period in Oswald’s life. He was never in the same place for long. By age 17, he had already moved some 20 times. Then he dropped out of high school and joined the Marines, before being released and traveling to Moscow. He avoided deportation by attempting suicide and was sent to Minsk, where he met Marina. In the year and a half after he returned to the United States, he moved several more times. My friendship with him was perhaps the longest he’d ever had.
John F Kennedy was basically the last Democrat in this country who wasn’t a socialist. Since Kennedy, Democrat presidents like Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and now Barack Hussein Obama have tried to ruin this country through socialism. It took until the 21st century, but the Democrats have finally found their magic potion with Obama.
