Of course. I don't care if he ran booze or not. I just don't like the Kennedy-Camelot myth, and I don't like what Joe Kennedy did to his daughter. It was inhuman.


the book " sins of the father" goes into the lobotomy,
it was a horrible thing to do to one of your very own children.
it was done because rosemary was slow, and joe kennedy wanted perfect children,

in the book, its mentioned that he never told his wife rose, that he took rosemary to a doctor, a man who won't tell his wife the shameful thing he did to his daughter!
he was a viscious, mean spirited, myth maker. I refuse to believe his myths, when facts prove him wrong.
