>>C'mon... was there ever a successful orchestrated assasination (or a close attempt) at a truly right-wing politician? Remember that in the year when there was an attempt on pres. Reagan, John Lennon was successfully shot (and Lennon's FBI file was inches thick).

I think we don't have much to discuss on the definition of success in case of assassination. Patient survived, operation failed.
