I haven't seen a link but it's circulating

October 29, 2004 -- CONSPIRACY theorists are buzzing about John Kerry's connection to Lee Harvey Oswald and the JFK assassina tion. While no one in the lunatic fringe has gone so far as to suggest Kerry helped kill Kennedy — yet — they make much of the fact that a cousin of Kerry's, Michael Paine, was a close friend of Oswald who fre quently had the assassin as a house guest. Paine even stored the rifle Oswald used to shoot Kennedy at his house. Paine's mother, Ruth Forbes, and Kerry's mother, Rosemary Forbes, were cousins. It has never been fully explained how Oswald came to have such socially prominent pals, says A.J. Weberman, author of the JFK assassination book "Coup D'Etat in America," who notes that according to documents released under the JFK Documents Act, Paine's sister-in-law and father-in-law were both closely connected with the CIA.

1. Wasn't Kerry about 14 years old in 1963?

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[mumon]

15. "Kerry stabbed Germany in the back in World Wars I and II!"

[mdhunter]

4. Yeah saw that on FR about an hour ago

Uncharacteristically, even most of them were saying this was tin-foil hat category.

However, one guy chimed in that Kerry is a direct decendent of Mohammed, and that he was very concerned about this.

[madinmaryland]

5. I thought they were still blaming

Clinton for that. Isn't the Big Dawg blamed for everything by the rightwingnutz?

:shrug:

[demokatgurrl]

19. I think Clinton would have been about 17-

Not that he couldn't have done it- he is a very powerful man, apparently, and is responsible for a lot of very big events.

[shaolinmonkey]

7. He was 10 years old. Born 12/11/1953

a little young to be conspiring with LHO.

[Dookus]

9. nope

Kerry was born in '43.

[BattyDem]

10. He started early

:eyes:

[slestak]

11. Actually

he was born in 1943.

But this stuff is complete nonsense.

[Demit]

13. He's 60 now. Born in 43

[shaolinmonkey]

17. Whoops. Sorry. My bad.

There, it's not so hard to admit a mistake. What's the problem George. It's kind of liberating!

[chookie]

12. pretty stupid

Michael Paine is the husband of Ruth Paine, who was a suburban Quaker woman interested in learing Russian who took in Marina Oswald when she was having marital problems during her second pregnancy. Marina lived with her. Oswald visited on weekends. The Paines were estranged, and Michael himself only occaisionally visited.

Michael was very interested in politics, and the two men discussed the subject on a number of occasions. Paine felt that for someone who claimed to be a committed revolutionary, Oswald was pretty lazy.

Lee Harvey Oswald stored his Mannlicher Carcano in Paines' garage without their knowledge.

[Mountainman]

14. Kerry is really the headless horseman!

[Zen Democrat]

16. Kerry's mother and Michael Paine's mother were distant cousins.

They had the same great grandfather or something like that.

[demokatgurrl]

18. That's why Kerry hung with the Kennedys-

so he could perfect the plot, right?


Sheesh, and we wonder why this country is full enough of stupid people to give Bush half the vote.

[ET Awful]

20. Next newsflash: Kerrry shot JR!!!!!

n/t

[July]

22. Hope this idiocy leads to talk about GHWB and JFK. nt

[lectrobyte]

23. Ask them where George H.W. Bush was on 11/22/63? Ah, the irony

of it all.

[ejcastellanos]

25. Bush family ties

Ironic that having Nazi collaborators doesn't affect them in any way.

I didn't think they had that sort of mental flexibility.

[CityHall]

26. They always accuse us of what they do

Hinkley's family was friends with the Bush family if I remember correctly.
