Early in the campaign, Kennedy endorsed Senator John Kerry for
President, but last week Kennedy expressed disappointment in Kerry's
campaign and in the Democratic Party.
"The Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75
percent corrupt," Kennedy said in an interview with Corporate Crime
Reporter. "They are accepting money from the same corporations. And
of course, that is going to corrupt you."
Kennedy is touring the country promoting his new book, Crimes Against
Nature: How George W. Bush and his Corporate Pals Are Plundering the
Country and Hijacking Our Democracy (HarperCollins, 2004).
In the book, Kennedy implies that we live in a fascist country and that
the Bush White House has learned key lessons from the Nazis.
"While communism is the control of business by government, fascism is
the control of government by business," he writes. "My American
Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as 'a system of government that
exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the
merging of state and business leadership together with belligerent
nationalism.' Sound familiar?"
