  • My Wife is awesome!

JFK was not shot while on TV.....Lee Harvey Oswald was. I was watching it when it happened. I was in 6th grade. I watched tv for days with my parents.....as we were sent home from school right after JFK was shot.

I do remember seeing the RFK shooting on TV, but I don't remember if he was shot in front of live TV cameras or if it was film. I just remember seeing the shooting on TV.

She was just remembering one of her heroes being shot on TV, and Oswald, being the commie that he was, fit the bill.

anyone else notice she skipped:

"Deliberate terror attack and murder of almost 3000 Americans by Islamofascists"
"50M oppressed people in two countries liberated by the efforts of the American military, allowing millions of women the right to vote."
"Economy recovers, yet again, from downturn, brought about by democrat politicians, by judicious use of tax cuts"

That's what I noticed too. I remember 9/11 very well like yesterday. I watched the coverage for the next four days. Very tragic times.  :(
