[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kennedys care about their brand only. Where was she for women's rights when RFK was driving his former wife to suicide? [mastodon][/quote]

I'll grant you it takes guts to have someone's back when a mob attacks them. Most people won't go there. This is something that has caught my interest. I've watched folks get attacked on neighborhood social forums. The attacks are unrelenting and vicious and irrational. I've made a stance for complete strangers when I got disgusted with an attack, but harbor no illusions that same individual will ever do the same for me or someone else. It's human nature.

It would have been nice if Caroline had loudly stood up to her family and shamed them into treating Mary better. At this stage in life she is the family matriarchs and in a position to take a stance and demand others fall in line.

Maybe she was out of the country (ambassadorship?) when this happened.[/quote]

I'm not sure the Mary thing was her place to do so. Remember, Ethel was alive at the time and RFK has what? 8 siblings still alive who could have stepped in. Caroline is just a first cousin, one of many.

I think she's shied away from the spotlight for so long and really doesn't like it but really felt that she needed to get this out for the sake of the country. Though I will say that it would have been nice if she had done so months ago.[/quote]
