Tom Brokaw decided to revise some history in order to avoid canceling out his insinuations during an appearance on MSNBC to discuss the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Brokaw threw people in conservative states into the mix, ignoring the facts of what actually happened that day:

What a macabre exercise today. But the real point of the JFK Death Fest is here, from Tom Brokaw. Pathetic. http://t.co/qcOxwoItG1

Ace and others capably tore down the inherent ridiculousness of Brokaw’s statement and reminded him of other presidents who have been threatened (which is all of them):
you are aware, I trust, @tombrokaw, that Bush Assassination chic was quite a craze just six years ago?

Or are you this ignorant? There was a novel by a respected writer about a fantasy of killing Bush, @tombrokaw…

Can you think of any presidents off-hand who a number of people did NOT want murdered, @tombrokaw?

You are aware of fallacy that sustains belief in the psychic, where one notes his guesses which "hit" but not his misses? @tombrokaw

The Left continues pushing the idea that the Right has powerful "Wish-Magic," which killed JFK, and also sabotaged Obamacare @tombrokaw

Truly pathetic.
As usual, Brokaw, like many, like to hint that “conservative” disagreement led to the assassination of JFK, when he was in fact killed by someone of a much different political belief system.

@BraveConWarrior What a stupid lousy comment Brokaw! What an ass.
Let's not forget TOM … a self admitted Marxist shot JFK.— TwoNickles (@Xtrme4) November 23, 2013
But don’t take our word for it, Tom:
