In my conversation with O'Sullivan about his new documentary film, he tells me, "We truly don't know who killed Bobby Kennedy, which is really greatly disturbing."

Barack and Bobby: Compare and Contrast; and, Obama-Clinton as Lennon-McCartney circa 1970

RJ Eskow | Posted 06.06.2008 | Politics


RJ Eskow

Bobby Kennedy was the ultimate insider, the product of wealth and power. Obama's is doing the opposite: He's climbing up the mountain. Where RFK was the ultimate insider, he's the ultimate outsider.

Robert F. Kennedy's Contested Legacy

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 06.05.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Bobby, like MLK, will be forever identified with the explosion of citizen activism that characterized the 1960s. But Kennedy's legacy has become contested ground in the decades since his death.

RFK for Twentysomethings

Simon Maxwell Apter | Posted 06.05.2008 | Politics


Simon Maxwell Apter

Kennedy's legacy to my generation is his mythology -- his superheroic ideal of a politician we now simply call Bobby. We will continue to search for "Bobby" for the foreseeable future.

Why Bobby Rocks A New Generation

Irshad Manji | Posted 06.05.2008 | Politics


Irshad Manji

I was born after Bobby died, so maybe I'm not supposed to care about him. Truth is, though, my generation has something timely, even urgent, to learn from his advice to the world's youth.

Robert F. Kennedy: What if He Had Lived? -- A Golden Age That Never Was

Blake Fleetwood | Posted 06.05.2008 | Politics


Blake Fleetwood

Kennedy's death came when the world was on the cusp of transformation -- between authoritarian societies and social and political justice. Much of that change was stalled in the US for decades to come.

Bill Explodes But Then Apologizes

Carol Felsenthal | Posted 06.03.2008 | Politics


Carol Felsenthal

Wouldn't it have been better for Hillary, if, on the eve of the last two primaries, as practically everyone has her finally quitting the race, for Bill to have just kept his mouth shut?

RFK 6/6/68 -- No Joking Matter

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 06.02.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

The killing of Robert F. Kennedy was particularly brutal coming just eight weeks after the assassination of MLK, and less than five years after the murder of President Kennedy.

Clinton and RFK Deserve Better

Earl Ofari Hutchinson | Posted 05.24.2008 | Politics


Earl Ofari Hutchinson

Her Kennedy remark, apology and clarification, won't mean much. It will only increase the drumbeat calls for her to withdraw. Clinton and RFK deserve better and neither will get it.

This newest quote from Senator Clinton today ought to be the final inciting incident for superdelegates -- the scream that stirs the avalanche.

Journey To The Center Of Hillary Clinton's Mind: "Why Would I Drop Out Before Barack Obama Is Assassinated?"

David Rees | Posted 05.23.2008 | Politics


David Rees

Hillary Clinton has a point: June is a great month for political assassinations. Why drop out of the race before all the assassins have had their say?

What the Kennedy Family Means to My Generation

Ray Hanania | Posted 05.21.2008 | Politics


Ray Hanania

The Kennedy family has always had special meaning in my life. I know exactly where I was when a friend yelled out to me in 1963, "The president has been shot."

Now, It's Really Over!

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 05.07.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Obama denied Hillary the "game changer" victory that she needed. Indiana proved that neither Reverend Wright nor Hillary's gas tax "holiday" had any real traction with voters.

Robert F. Kennedy's Indiana Campaign

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 04.30.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

On May 7, 1968, Democrats in Indiana would go to the polls. A loss for Robert F. Kennedy there, in the first primary he entered, could stop the campaign in its tracks.

Will African Americans Return?

Eric Schmeltzer

If African Americans don't turn out for Clinton, or vote against her, to any degree less than the last few presidential contests, she will lose.

Maureen Dowd: Obama Is No RFK

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 04.28.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Dowd's commentary relating to Democratic presidential candidates over the past 12 years finds them all insufficient and deserving of her patented brand of Catholic schoolgirl ridicule.

Robert F. Kennedy, Bloomington, Indiana, April 24, 1968

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 04.24.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Today, with the United States entering its sixth year of occupying Iraq, RFK's words about Vietnam still have resonance.

April 4, 1968

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 04.04.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Bobby Kennedy's brief remarks the night of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination would be later described as a small masterpiece of American public rhetoric made all the more poignant by his own assassination just eight weeks later.

King: "I Can't Follow the Old Eye-For-an-Eye Philosophy"

Paul Helmke | Posted 04.04.2008 | Politics


Paul Helmke

If Dr. King is looking down on us today, I can imagine him seeing 12,352 gun murders a year in the U.S. -- nearly 34 every day -- and telling us that "the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy leaves everyone blind."

Barack Obama Shifted the Political Discourse Today

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 03.18.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

Obama showed today that he is the only presidential candidate who can lead this nation in a new direction, elevate the political discourse, and educate the electorate on the challenges ahead.

RFK v. HHH 1968, BHO v. HRC 2008

Joseph A. Palermo | Posted 02.26.2008 | Politics


Joseph A. Palermo

The Clintons look like reincarnations of the establishment Johnson-Humphrey Democrats of 1968 -- out of touch on the heated issue of a foreign war and wedded to a static set of bureaucratic structures.
