George W. Bush Supporter and Friend of Rush Limbaugh set to Trash JFK on History Channel

Read Time:44 Second

The upcoming History Channel miniseries on John F. Kennedy’s presidency is a sex-focused, soap opera-style travesty that doesn’t belong on a channel with “History” in the name, say historians and Kennedy associates. Liberals are ticked off about the series as well, complaining that conservative 24 creator Joel Surnow — a Bush supporter and friend of Rush Limbaugh — is as bad a choice of producer as Alan Alda would be to make a Reagan series.

David Talbot, author of a book on the Kennedys, says he’s read a draft screenplay and it’s “largely a soap opera about the Kennedy sex lives,” that portrays JFK as a “lightweight dilettante.” The series is “a distortion, I think almost perversely so,” he tells the Telegraph. One scene features Kennedy telling his brother Robert that he gets migraines if he doesn’t have sex with a different woman every few days.

JFK? Really? They ran out of things to talk about on Hitler?

I’ve never been able to figure where JFK found time to boink all these women. I mean, hell. I’m good for seven or eight times a night. I am getting older, heh heh. But Kennedy was double that if reports are to be believed.

I’ve been watching the dis-information of these very channels (and commenting – mostly on metaphysical or culturally based programs concerning ‘end of days’ or Maya time codes) for a few years. Historically they are fact = atrocious! [and I do ‘grab’ the fact-lessness of charlatans among the metaphysical side too… loads of them!]
These networks produce whatever is paid for! You can buy docudrama history… has that floated by all? They are running a ‘history of our country’ right now that’s 1/2 and 1/2 – half new, interesting facts, half political agenda messaging … To be fair, there has always been plenty of Kennedyesque ‘retelling’ of the story to impose some very dubious ‘facts’ about their accomplishments. Jack & Bobby that is…. the greatest brother is the Lion of the Senate!

Holte- there is a great deal of documentary and history film available on the net, there are just loads of resources that are not really ‘mainstream’ … including online library connections. I get much research for my writing projects online through libraries. It takes time to be approved sometimes … but it’s worth it. And searching resources online with libraries is a learning experience.

I AM PISSED!!!! What a joke for something called the “History Channel” to air a show that has no relevancy on history! FUCK THEM!!

If they had half a clue about JFK and his legacy, they would realize that without his diplomacy, we probably wouldn’t be here right. During the Cuban missile crisis, he alone had the courage to refuse to buckle under the pressure coming from the Joint Chiefs, especially General LeMay, about a preemptive invasion of Cuba.

Folks, the Cuban military and Soviet advisers had combat nukes ready and armed, with orders to use them. If we had gone in, it would had been WW3 with mega-tonnage results.

This was at the peak of raw nuke power, 1962, and estimates as high as 1.5 billion people dead on first initial round of destruction.

And the best they can come up with is that he had affairs?!! What is their OBSESSION with sex? Can someone please tell me because I really would like to know?

This is the equivalent to someone complaining that you have the serving forks in wrong place on the Titanic!! Damn this makes me mad!!

Screw the History channel! I am never going to glance that channel again. I was getting tired of Nostradamus, Armageddon, Hitlers secret whatever crap anyway!

LOL….Don’t mind me, I’m okay now, Holte.
It’s just that JFK is someone that I have always admired as a hero. Sure he had faults, but he certainly was the right person at that time of crisis. Thank the Gods of Fate that it wasn’t GWB in office at that time.

Fortunately for us history buffs there is no shortage of channels. The same goes for Discovery. If you have DirecTv you can get dozens of options. Btw Krell I agree with every word you said and exactly as written.

I’ve known for a while that the “History” in the History Channel is more about histrionics than actual historical facts.

Just sour grapes for Rush. The only thing that could possibly be attracted to him might be a manatee, and I’m pretty sure even they have their standards. This should be about as ironic and ludicrous as Palin’s nature show.
