This type of fear, distrust and paranoia of the government was restricted to conservative ideologies. Now, it has spread like a contagion among liberals.

So... The Majority Here At DU Think It Was A Conspiracy, As Do A Majority Of Americans... [View all] WillyT Nov 2013 OP

So vocal? The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #1

Its getting to be a lot like Fox's war on Christmas. JoePhilly Nov 2013 #92

You mean like posting 10 different threads about the same thing? Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #2

I thought Obama was born on the moon but Jackpine Radical Nov 2013 #127

Well, when you repeatedly "call out" people for not sharing your belief... Scootaloo Nov 2013 #3

I Don't Believe I've Ever Told ANYBODY To Stop Posting Their Beliefs, Concerns, Positions, Etc... WillyT Nov 2013 #4

Well, the answer is obvious Scootaloo Nov 2013 #5

Whoa... You Have A Good Night OK ??? WillyT Nov 2013 #6

LOL Scootaloo Nov 2013 #8

Really? If that is how you approach issues, just make stuff up, then it's no wonder sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #13

The most obvious but unfocused on question is who . . . brush Nov 2013 #7

Of all the errors in this post, I'll pick just one. DanTex Nov 2013 #10

rofl. NT BootinUp Nov 2013 #12

Why kill Oswald then if he was the lone nut? brush Nov 2013 #16

Jack Ruby killed him because he was angry that Oswald shot Kennedy. DanTex Nov 2013 #17

Google Ruby brush Nov 2013 #24

So thats what you consider a reputable source? BootinUp Nov 2013 #25

To believe, imo, that Oswald killed Kennedy . . . brush Nov 2013 #27

I don't claim to know what was in either man's mind. BootinUp Nov 2013 #31

Believe the single shooter thing if you want brush Nov 2013 #34

My dear brush BootinUp Nov 2013 #37

Where is the evidence of that? BlueStreak Nov 2013 #52

CE399 The so called magic bullet BootinUp Nov 2013 #56

Nonsense. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #65

Oh boy. I feel like Sam Beckett, when he just leaped into another person. BootinUp Nov 2013 #68

I went and looked for the latest info on ballistics etc BootinUp Nov 2013 #83

Briefly. DanTex Nov 2013 #57

Thanks for presenting the facts - saved me the time. stopbush Nov 2013 #58

I continue to be shocked at just how few facts the CTers are actually aware of. DanTex Nov 2013 #61

Actually, they are willfully and blissfully unaware of the facts in the JFK case. stopbush Nov 2013 #63

Its a conspiracy of ignorance. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #64

Since you ignored my last question, let's try round 2. DanTex Nov 2013 #32

And why not kill Oswald before the police catch him. JoePhilly Nov 2013 #128

Yes, if you google hard enough you can eventually find a website that says whatever you want. DanTex Nov 2013 #26

What factual matter do you have that Oswald killed Kennedy alone but the Warren Commission? brush Nov 2013 #30

All of the testimony and the evidence on record, and with the findings DanTex Nov 2013 #33

Sure, sure. Keep believing it if you want. brush Nov 2013 #35

Yes, that's what I do in the face of conclusive evidence. DanTex Nov 2013 #38

The Warren Commission did not have factual evidence that Oswald acted alone Samantha Nov 2013 #59

The Mac Wallace story is a fraud concocted by conspiracy theorists. DanTex Nov 2013 #67

Bugliosi is full of it. eomer Nov 2013 #91

No, you are full of it. DanTex Nov 2013 #93

Read Bugliosi's confused account as many times as you'd like, it's still wrong. eomer Nov 2013 #95

OK then. It's been a interesting trip down the rabbit hole... DanTex Nov 2013 #96

Bugliosi claims it was a palm print compared with a fingerprint, Darby says it was two fingerprints eomer Nov 2013 #106

Sigh. Bugliosi is saying that the prints that Darby matched were not the unidentified latent prints DanTex Nov 2013 #113

So you're sticking to your story that a fingerprint expert found a 14-point match eomer Nov 2013 #120

LOL. When proven run the conspiracy nut runs and hides. DanTex Nov 2013 #122

When you've made an ass of yourself, claim victory! eomer Nov 2013 #126

I usually agree with Vincent Bugliosi but not this time Samantha Nov 2013 #121

His intention was to demonstrate that the conspiracy theorists did not actually DanTex Nov 2013 #124

First of all, Barr McClellan was one of Johnson's attorneys, not some remote conspiracy theorist Samantha Nov 2013 #148

He was most definitely a conspiracy theorist. DanTex Nov 2013 #153

He was a member of Johnson's legal team and had inside information Samantha Nov 2013 #155

Tell you what. DanTex Nov 2013 #156

I am impressed Samantha Nov 2013 #160

Oh Dear BootinUp Nov 2013 #161

ONE photocopy of a cardboard-box print was claimed to match a photocopy struggle4progress Nov 2013 #140

Wallace was murdered in 1971 as a result of his exhaust being rigged Samantha Nov 2013 #149

It's speculation reported as fact. If you want to complain about the general atmosphere in Texas struggle4progress Nov 2013 #150

Actually, five separate government investigations came to the same conclusion as the WC. stopbush Nov 2013 #66

5 seperate investigations? brush Nov 2013 #69

So I stood up and told that teachin' lady... The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #71

They were all based on the evidence. stopbush Nov 2013 #72

There sure seem to be a lot of people . . . brush Nov 2013 #73

Maybe some of them have been paid, not me though, lol. BootinUp Nov 2013 #74

That's because before the JFK assassination... The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #75

Not me. I don't care what you believe. I'm not here to get anyone to buy into anything. stopbush Nov 2013 #76

We'll agree to disagree. Please continue with the buy-in campaign. nt brush Nov 2013 #81

You are not disagreeing with people. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #84

Wonder what the Kennedy family thinks about your position? nt brush Nov 2013 #89

Try this link . . . brush Nov 2013 #152

Interesting, yes. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #154

Enjoy your ignorance-is-bliss non-review of the evidence. stopbush Nov 2013 #85

Wonder what the Kennedy family thinks about your position? nt brush Nov 2013 #90

Depends which generation of Kennedys you ask. stopbush Nov 2013 #116

His son has recently expressed doubt about the lone shooter theory. nt brush Nov 2013 #135

That would be RFK Jr, the zealous spokesman for the "vaccines cause autism" claque, stopbush Nov 2013 #136

Don't think he's the only in the family . . . brush Nov 2013 #138

You cited him as a source, not me, so why go off on the "family' tangent? stopbush Nov 2013 #139

I cited the family first . . . oh, never mind. Seems we're both talking to our respective choir. brush Nov 2013 #141

Shame On You !!! WillyT Nov 2013 #142

Desperation is the right word. Rex Nov 2013 #98

Jack Ruby's statements before and after killing Oswald disprove your claim stopbush Nov 2013 #77

Says the poster with the most threads on the subject. lol. BootinUp Nov 2013 #9

I think it's the other way around when it comes to being vocal and sensitive. Kaleva Nov 2013 #11

My problem with the whole thing is they locked up everything for 75 years. That tells me shraby Nov 2013 #14

People keep saying this and it is not true. Please inform yourself and stop spreading misinformation The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #15

Ah, Young One... You Spread Yourself Obviously Thin... WillyT Nov 2013 #20

Mmm...spread thin...like the glaze on a Krispy Kreme. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #21

Another "fact" that is repeated but in fact has no basis. grantcart Nov 2013 #19

I remember when they did it. That's exactly how it was presented and stuff is still shraby Nov 2013 #158

What you remember is somebody saying that, but it was never true. grantcart Nov 2013 #163

Yup, strange that the ol' U.S. guvimment had to lock it up for so damned long. Major Hogwash Nov 2013 #79

You are aware that most people who have looked at the scientific grantcart Nov 2013 #18

Seriously ??? - "Bugliosi's Work" ??? WillyT Nov 2013 #22

What I find interesting is that they will not acknowledge the possibility that others helped Oswald Jetboy Nov 2013 #29

Yes, it's possible. But zero evidence has been found to suggest that. DanTex Nov 2013 #36

IT'S POSSIBLE Jetboy Nov 2013 #39

OK, now your turn. DanTex Nov 2013 #40

I believe that it is likely that LHO shot Kennedy, Jetboy Nov 2013 #42

It is extremely unlikely that Oswald had help. DanTex Nov 2013 #48

Yes, it is possible. Jetboy Nov 2013 #51

Since we're treating each other with respect... DanTex Nov 2013 #55

Whenever I've thought about the afterlife, the first thing I always think of is learning what really Jetboy Nov 2013 #88

Conspiracy theorists rarely ask good questions. greyl Nov 2013 #43

Responding indicates that you believe there is a chance that LHO Jetboy Nov 2013 #47

There's no evidence LHO had help in the way I think you mean, greyl Nov 2013 #82

I have one point and one point only and that is that it is VERY reasonable to believe that LHO Jetboy Nov 2013 #86

That indicates it was an example of dishonest argumentation from a conspiracy theory fan, right? greyl Nov 2013 #157

'What evidence makes you so certain that LHO had help?' Jetboy Nov 2013 #159

In a very real way, JFK helped Oswald kill JFK. stopbush Nov 2013 #78

They can't. As soon as you entertain that possibility, the whole Warren Theory crashes down. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #94

Specific to point 2 BlueStreak Nov 2013 #100

In other words. NONE of them was successful BlueStreak Nov 2013 #111

Where do you come up with this bogus "1.66 seconds"? Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #114

That is the time between the second and third shot BlueStreak Nov 2013 #118

No it wasn't? Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #123

There shouldn't be any controversy about the timing. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #133

There is no controversy about the timing. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #134

1.66 seconds! LOL! DanTex Nov 2013 #130

Same reason the same people were apoplectic about Snowden. They are authoritarians. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #44

Exactly. polichick Nov 2013 #45

Jeezus people! We are through the looking glass here! The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #50

As I was saying, authoritarians. Attack anybody who questions authority. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #53

No. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #54
