Rob1647545496 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 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 of their wives lost their children 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. Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. Know your history. Booth jumped from the theater balcony and broke his leg, he didn't run anywhere. He had a horse waiting outside the theater which took him to a barn, not a warehouse. Also, Booth was from Maryland which if you know jack shit about the Civil War was one of the border states that DID NOT SECEDE, and most of whose enlisting citizens sided with the Union, not the Confederacy. Booth was born May 10, 1838, not 1839. God I hate these stupid chain emails that are historically inaccurate that no one bothers to validate.

ORourke Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 JFK should not be mentioned in the same breath as Lincoln. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 JFK should not be mentioned in the same breath as Lincoln. regardless of how you feel about JFK and his general policies, he may have pulled the world back from the brink of nuclear war in 1962.
