What Mr. Minutaglio miraculously fails to mention is that the man who killed Kennedy – Lee Harvey Oswald – was not religious, conservative, or an ancestor to the Tea Party by any stretch of the imagination. Oswald lived in the Soviet Union for a number of years, married a Soviet citizen, and it would be hard to make a case that he wasn’t, for all intents and purposes, a communist. Kennedy was killed by a sniper’s bullet passing uninvited through his cranium – not by conservative ethos of Dallas, Texas, or American conservatives as a whole. Mr. Minutaglio’s article isn’t history. It isn’t journalism. It’s spin. But, of course, nobody cares.
