[Greeby]

6. Transcript of the speech here

http://millercenter.virginia.edu/scripps/diglibrary/prezspeeches/kennedy/jfk_1961_0427.html

For full context, the speech was given on April 27th 1961, less than two weeks after the Bay of Pigs

[Diamonique]

7. Thanks Greeby...

... for posting the transcript and giving context.

Thanks to everyone also for the welcome. Actually I've been here for a couple of years, but I do a lot more reading than posting. By the time I get here, everything I might have said has already been expressed.

8. Sent shivers down my spine...

[MelissaB]

9. Every American should hear/read this speech.

:kick:

[Auntie Bush]

12. I was thinking the same thing. Maybe KO would play it for the

American people. Maybe even Matthews would play it...or Brian Williams. MSM has got to get this out to the public. It certainly is newsworthy after Rumsfield, bush* and Cheney's comments.

10. YouTube is down atm, but it should be back up shortly.

[Auntie Bush]

11. That was awesome! What a difference from bush* who isn't

worthy of being called Mr. President. He's a disgrace to the office! Damn, I wish we could just write him off/out of history! What a better world we could have if he never existed. :mad:

[bvar22]

13. a MUST SEE!!!!!!

K&R
:dem:

I still have goosebumps!

[TomClash]

14. The speech is nuanced

So no serious politician could ever give it today - it would be too "intellectual."

[Blue_In_AK]

15. I am very sad with these JFK posts today...

It's been all downhill since. :cry:

[IChing]

16. You tube is up again but the video is no longer playing from

your link
any suggestions I want it on my hard drive.

[IChing]

17. The link is up again for the video and audio kick for those

who have not read this thread or had a chance to nominate it.

[snot]

18. K & R -- really terrific. nt

[Lifelong Protester]

19. Made me cry,

made me even more frightened of what is going on now, and made me wonder, "How in the hell could the country have sunk so low as to elect such a non-intellect like W when at one time we clearly elected folks with brains?"

K & R

[Greyhound]

20. Just goes to show there's nothing new about what is happening. K & R n/t

:kick:

[focusfan]

25. That greatness that was

[BeHereNow]

26. Welcome to DU! And THANKS for posting this! POWERFUL STUFF!

Kicked and recommended!

Paraphrased-
"An error does not become a mistake until a man
fails to correct it..."

Hear that you fucking neocon bastards?

No doubt in my mind that "they" killed him.
Between the video someone posted today
of LBJ's mistress talking about the night beforethey killed Kennedy
and this video, how can any one doubt it?

27. Glad someone watched it this time. I posted it in August and only got

FOUR responses. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=1894427&mesg_id=1894427 Four responses to such a powerful video was depressing to me then. At least it's getting attention now though.



"A mistake only becomes and error when you refuse to correct it", those are some powerful words right there. Yep, they are.
