This is reffered to as 'The Speech That Killed Kennedy'. I've related this before but it is an interesting little tale. Many years ago I was in a local bank and talking to the teller that I knew well, Rose. I mentioned his speech and said this is what got him killed. The next time I came in she said, "I have something for you. It's a five dollar bill so you will have to give me $5 for it, but I think you will find it interesting. It is a $5 government note." She winked as we made the exchange. It was her way of telling me what really got Kennedy killed.
Say what you want about Kennedy; he was a brave man and I believe meant well. He went off the reservation and tried to expose the beast system and free the people and they killed him for it, making an example of him for all other that might think about crossing them or exposing them.
