The Kennedy Klan’s Hatred Of Jews- History Repeats Itself & A Son Finishes What the Father Started
Â
Reading and watching the news lately is much like reading a history book. Everything I’m witnessing today actually happend in the 1930’s and 40’s when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi’s were planning the extermination of Europe’s Jews and eventually dominating the world. History really does repeat itself.Â
Senator Ted Kennedy who is held on a pedestal by those in the Liberal Democrats as the “Spiritual Leader” of his party has quite a dark past where his family is concerned.
His father, Joseph Kennedy who was a US Ambassador was very much an admirer of Nazi Leader Adolf Hitler. There is even a Hasidic legend that an old Hasidic Jewish man stood outside in Washington trying to talk to someone about rescueing his family that was still trapped in Nazi occupied Poland. Joseph Kennedy told the man to stop being such a pest and the old Jewish man replied, “I hope G-d is as indifferent to your children as you are toward mine.”Â
I found this peice to be quite educational it gave me much insight into the thought process of the party of tolerance…The Liberal Democrats.
Joseph Kennedy and the Jews
By Edward Renehan, Jr.
Arriving at London in early 1938, newly-appointed U.S. Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy took up quickly with another transplanted American. Viscountess Nancy Witcher Langhorne Astor assured Kennedy early in their friendship that he should not be put off by her pronounced and proud anti-Catholicism.
“I’m glad you are smart enough not to take my [views] personally,” she wrote. Astor pointed out that she had a number of Roman Catholic friends – G.K. Chesterton among them – with whom she shared, if nothing else, a profound hatred for the Jewish race. Joe Kennedy, in turn, had always detested Jews generally, although he claimed several as friends individually. Indeed, Kennedy seems to have tolerated the occasional Jew in the same way Astor tolerated the occasional Catholic.
As fiercely anti-Communist as they were anti-Semitic, Kennedy and Astor looked upon Adolf Hitler as a welcome solution to both of these “world problems” (Nancy’s phrase). No member of the so-called “Cliveden Set” (the informal cabal of appeasers who met frequently at Nancy Astor’s palatial home) seemed much concerned with the dilemma faced by Jews under the Reich. Astor wrote Kennedy that Hitler would have to do more than just “give a rough time” to “the killers of Christ” before she’d be in favor of launching “Armageddon to save them. The wheel of history swings round as the Lord would have it. Who are we to stand in the way of the future?” Kennedy replied that he expected the “Jew media” in the United States to become a problem, that “Jewish pundits in New York and Los Angeles” were already making noises contrived to “set a match to the fuse of the world.”
During May of 1938, Kennedy engaged in extensive discussions with the new German Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, Herbert von Dirksen. In the midst of these conversations (held without approval from the U.S. State Department), Kennedy advised von Dirksen that President Roosevelt was the victim of “Jewish influence” and was poorly informed as to the philosophy, ambitions and ideals of Hitler’s regime. (The Nazi ambassador subsequently told his bosses that Kennedy was “Germany’s best friend” in London.)
Columnists back in the states condemned Kennedy’s fraternizing. Kennedy later claimed that 75% of the attacks made on him during his Ambassadorship emanated from “a number of Jewish publishers and writers. … Some of them in their zeal did not hesitate to resort to slander and falsehood to achieve their aims.” He told his eldest son, Joe Jr., that he disliked having to put up with “Jewish columnists” who criticized him with no good reason.
Like his father, Joe Jr. admired Adolf Hitler. Young Joe had come away impressed by Nazi rhetoric after traveling in Germany as a student in 1934. Writing at the time, Joe applauded Hitler’s insight in realizing the German people’s “need of a common enemy, someone of whom to make the goat. Someone, by whose riddance the Germans would feel they had cast out the cause of their predicament. It was excellent psychology, and it was too bad that it had to be done to the Jews. The dislike of the Jews, however, was well-founded. They were at the heads of all big business, in law etc. It is all to their credit for them to get so far, but their methods had been quite unscrupulous … the lawyers and prominent judges were Jews, and if you had a case against a Jew, you were nearly always sure to lose it. … As far as the brutality is concerned, it must have been necessary to use some … .”
Brutality was in the eye of the beholder. Writing to Charles Lindbergh shortly after Kristallnacht in November of 1938, Joe Kennedy Sr. seemed more concerned about the political ramifications stemming from high-profile, riotous anti-Semitism than he was about the actual violence done to the Jews. “… Isn’t there some way,” he asked, “to persuade [the Nazis] it is on a situation like this that the whole program of saving western civilization might hinge? It is more and more difficult for those seeking peaceful solutions to advocate any plan when the papers are filled with such horror.” Clearly, Kennedy’s chief concern about Kristallnacht was that it might serve to harden anti-fascist sentiment at home in the United States.
Like his friend Charles Coughlin (an anti-Semitic broadcaster and Roman Catholic priest), Kennedy always remained convinced of what he believed to be the Jews’ corrupt, malignant, and profound influence in American culture and politics. “The Democratic [party] policy of the United States is a Jewish production,” Kennedy told a British reporter near the end of 1939, adding confidently that Roosevelt would “fall” in 1940.
But it wasn’t Roosevelt who fell. Kennedy resigned his ambassadorship just weeks after FDR’s overwhelming triumph at the polls. He then retreated to his home in Florida: a bitter, resentful man nurturing religious and racial bigotries that put him out-of-step with his country, and out-of-touch with history.
Something tells me, given the history of the Kennedy Klan, that it would not surprise me that the apple probably doesn’t fall very far from this family tree.
The hatred of Jews by the Patriarch of the Kennedy Klan was quite rabid and ran very deep.
One of Joe Kennedy’s closest friends was Morton Downey, a night-club singer who later became a radio idol in the 1930s and 40s. As one friend put it, “Mort did him favors in the department Joe liked best – girls, he knew chorus girls.” Furthermore, since most of the clubs where Downey sang were owned by the mob, Joe gained access to mobsters like Frank Costello who were critical to his bootlegging business.
Besides their love of young women, Downey and Kennedy shared a hatred of Jews. As successful Irishmen, they needed another minority to ridicule. When Joe later went to Hollywood, he told friends he expected to wipe out the Jewish “pants pressers” who ruled Hollywood.
“Joe Kennedy’s feeling toward Jews was that the only way he could be a success was that every day when he got up, he would focus on one deal involving a Jew, and he would win the deal. That was his whole driving spirit,” said Morton Downey Jr, quoting what his father had told him about Joe.
The hatred that seethes from the Liberal Democrats is kept hidden in the closet extremely well with the aid of the Liberal Mainstream Media. From the Halls of the Senate and Congress, Liberal Democrats could help Hitler’s dream come true. Perhaps even Ted Kennedy is trying to fulfill his father’s dream.
What all this has taught me is that no lessons were learned in ashes of the Holocaust by Jews and non-Jews alike.

If it was just Jews TK hated, I’d say you have a story, but like the rest of the tolerant party, TK hates his own race and gender. Perhaps, similar to his father, TK loves young black women and seeks their favor? Everyone knows African Americans can’t swim.
