Remember when Hillary vaguely brought up the subject that Robert F. Kennedy was assasinated in June of ’68, and how the media went crazy?

Well now that the Light Being has been baptized, in a Ny Times op-ed, Bob Herbert thinks different.

“Friday was the 40th anniversary of the death of Robert F. Kennedy. Had he lived, he would be 82 now.

It’s impossible to gauge the what-ifs of history. But nevertheless, I wonder what Kennedy, a complicated man with a profound sense of the moral issues at play in politics, would have made of the idea that Barack Obama has captured the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

He might not have been surprised. Kennedy had been accused of dreaming when he said in the early 1960s that a black person could get elected president in the next 40 years.

The fact that even a dreamer could imagine nothing shorter than a 40-year timeline gives us a glimpse of the nightmarish depths of racial oppression that people of goodwill have had to fight.

The United States in 1968 (the same year in which the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated) was a stunningly different place from the country we know now, so different that most of today’s young people would have trouble imagining it. The notion in ’68 that a black person — or a woman — might have a serious shot at the presidency would have been widely viewed as lunacy.

Thurston Clarke, in his new book about R.F.K., “The Last Campaign,” tells of the time that Kennedy was touring a Ford plant in Indiana. A white assembly-line worker refused to shake the presidential candidate’s hand, telling Kennedy, “Get your [expletive] nigger-loving presence out of here.”

George Wallace also ran for president in ’68. He was famous for “standing in the schoolhouse door” to block the court-ordered admission of black students to the University of Alabama. Wallace’s views on racial matters were unequivocal. His mantra was: “Segregation now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!”

Herbert leaves out the fact that Wallace, like a lot of the racists at the time, was a Democrat. Yet it would appear that the MSM, is trying to wrap the Light Being in the mantel of RFK. Herbert isn’t the first to make this comparison. Two weeks ago Time made the comparison between 1968 and now, citing the “hopelessness”, the “war” and “change”.

The Light Being must believe press as he’s even put Caroline Kennedy on the team to find him a VP. Remember they did this in 2004 when John F. Kerry ran as a type of JFK, except that he didn’t have a Jackie, he had a Theresa who told people to “shove off”.

On that note Michelle Obama isn’t Jackie either, or even close. Nevertheless watch how the “shaping” continues. The only problem with this is that history has been kind to RFK. In truth he – like the rest of the Kennedy Clan – was an ‘empty suit’ with far more vice than virtue. RFK for all the soaring rhetoric wasn’t close in character or stature that the media now paints him as.
