#2 Kennedy and Lincoln both have the same number of letters in their last names. K and L both were assasinated while in office. K and L blah blah blah blah ..........

Each and every human has literally hundreds of thousands of facts about them. It would be an impossibility NOT to be able to find dozens of these facts that "line up" between any two humans on this planet.

#4 Speaking of demonizing comparisons, I actually heard a history teacher (at the McKenzie Jr High in Lubbock Tx) compare the current generation of Vietnam War historians (who dispute the orthodox media-left interpretation) to Holocaust denialists simply because the term "revisionist" has been applied to both at one time or another.

Craig, you forgot the most eerie--

Lincoln was once in Monroe, Maryland; JFK was once in Maryland Monroe.
