Sort of interesting, if...
 
....you believe in this sort of stuff. I'm sure it has been
around for a while, but I saw it for the first time in an email
I got today:


Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost a child while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford."

Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford."

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the "kicker":

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

AND...................:

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater...

All criminals are known by 3 names if they have them.
It helps avoid misidentification.

I am also not sure how they say Booth was assassinated unless you
think the Union army were assassins. He was shot in a barn by union
soldiers.


You have to stretch the truth in order to make the plot work!!

There are a number of those "coincidences" that involve quite a
stretch to believe. The list keeps getting longer too.


It takes a *real* stretch to believe any of 'Bama's gun policies would have prevented the CT
massacre!

It's a real stretch to think it happened the way they told us..
Especially for those of us who watched it live on TV.

Oh, man..... He's STILL claiming he watched the CT massacre "live in
TV"!! I guess the gunman must have gotten a hold of the TV crews so they
could set up a live remote before he got there and started blasting the
place up!!!!

The shooting wasn't live but the cameras were there shortly after the
first cops responded and it was the only thing on CNN (and I assume
the other news networks) most of the day with more guessing than
reporting going on.
That is how this kid was misidentified as his brother, how the "two
shooter" story got out and a number of other errors that happen when
they report news before they have enough facts to say anything close
to accurate.


Please Greg... Why answer the false narrative that I said I watched "the
massacre" live on TV.

Quite frankly I think we would all be better served if we all decided to
ignore the strawmen here until they learn to ask a question properly,
based on facts, not their own fantasy...
