Anyone notice the appearance of the actual footage of the HUAC
committee of Bobby Kennedy sitting alongside Roy Cohn and Joe McCarthy?

You know, when the U.S. Senate censored McCarthy it was unanimous
except for one senator, who abstained...and his name was John F.
Kennedy...

Politically incorrect. Clooney obviously chose footage that scanned over Bobby very quickly. PLUS he didn't go out of his way to mention Bobby, as he did with Cohn.

Every bad thing in this world involves the Kennedys, > except for Hurricane Katrina, which was Hillary's fault. Ted Kennedy, maybe. But the right wing loves to invoke the name of JFK and Bobby to bash modern day Democrats. JFK, now, he was a pro-defence, pro-tax cut real man, not like that clown Howard Dean or that war coward John Kerry, that's the attitude, but if JFK was alive and working today, they'd hate him just as much as they hate Ted. FDR, they can't make their mind up about. Either's he's another real man who got us through WWII, or he's the socialist tool who gave us dependency on government, depending on the context of the discussion. >> Stay informed about: Good Night and Good Luck

Don't forget the discussion about suspension of some civil liberties when fighting a war. FDR's record is useful in that context too. -cr >> Stay informed about: Good Night and Good Luck

The difference between then and now was that FDR curtailed civil liberties to fight a war but Bush is fighting a war as a reason to curtail our civil liberties. >> Stay informed about: Good Night and Good Luck
