Below is a flyer passed out and put under auto windshields in Dallas, Texas, in the days leading up to John Kennedy's assassination [http:\/\/goo.gl\/pi6iaI<\/a>]. The coincidence was enough to draw the attention of the Warren Commission, who determined that they had been distributed at the best of General Edwin A. Walker, a Bircher who had resigned when the government investigated his distributing political material to those under his command.<\/p>\n

It's actually sort of fascinating reading — one could easily imagine a similar flyer, with very little change in the text, showing Obama, or Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

Only today, rather than furtive distribution on the streets or stuffed under windshield wiper blades, words like these are shouted by major political figures, by candidates, at political conventions on Prime Time TV. And rather than the leaders shouting them being laughed at to scorn, their supporters cheer, chant along with them, and are proud about it [http:\/\/goo.gl\/JM5Ajb<\/a>].<\/p>\n
