91. Really? The equivalent of holocaust deniers?

Have you read the comments down thread suggesting the science behind the assassination is a distraction?

People like you disgust me. Really.

Mostly a book review but resets the perspective in important ways BlueStreak Nov 2013 #1
Exactly. The Lone Nut Theorists are desperate not to talk about the political atmosphere villager Nov 2013 #2
They are the equivalent of holocaust deniers BlueStreak Nov 2013 #3
"Dr. James Humes, the Navy pathologist....burned his original autopsy report in the fireplace villager Nov 2013 #6
Holocaust deniers! Wow! DanTex Nov 2013 #8
The forensic evidence is a distraction. Whether Oswald fired shots or did not is NOT the question sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #20
No it's not. It's the way to determine what is true and what is false. DanTex Nov 2013 #24

Really? The equivalent of holocaust deniers? The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #91
While I don't believe Oswald acted alone, Blue_In_AK Nov 2013 #94
And THAT is exactly where the denier similarity lies. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #101
"You can't keep a secret like that…" Absolutely right, of course. Jackpine Radical Nov 2013 #126
discredit & marginalize for sure. But also intimidate and threated. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #128
Yes, discredit the whistle blowers. Maybe equate them with holocaust deniers on a public fourm. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #131

Hinkley lived to face examination BlueStreak Nov 2013 #40
On the contrary. Everyone agrees about the poisonous political atmosphere. DanTex Nov 2013 #7
In your view then, the rightwing generals just got "lucky?" villager Nov 2013 #10
So your view is the fact that JFK had enemies proves that it was a conspiracy? DanTex Nov 2013 #11
Of course, many leaders *were* killed as a result of a conspiracy... villager Nov 2013 #15
And many were not. Which means we have to *look at the hard evidence*. DanTex Nov 2013 #16
Motive and means were there, of course villager Nov 2013 #18
Motive and means are always present for any world leader. That prove nothing. DanTex Nov 2013 #21
So you don't think our domestic right-wing is actually capable of such things? villager Nov 2013 #23
The fact that they're capable doesn't mean that they did it. DanTex Nov 2013 #25
Well, that and all of Oswald's mob and CIA connections villager Nov 2013 #29
Jack Ruby was the one with mob "connections", not Oswald. DanTex Nov 2013 #33
Oswald's uncle was a bookie for the New Orleans mob. villager Nov 2013 #35
LOL. Well, that settles it. Definitely a mob hit! DanTex Nov 2013 #36
Glad you're getting a good laugh out of it all, DanTex! villager Nov 2013 #37
The mob hated JFK because of RFK's work against them, why would they want the Uncle Joe Nov 2013 #76
No, we have to look way behind the distraction of the 'ballistics, the forensic evidence etc which sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #22
"people are digging up more and more evidence of a conspiracy" DanTex Nov 2013 #27
No, it is far from 'zero' unless you don't want to see it. Fortunately a majority of people DO see sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #56
This made me LOL: "I think one day, maybe in the not-too-distant future, this crime will be solved" DanTex Nov 2013 #58

A very simple question. MicaelS Nov 2013 #60
First he would have lived to have a trial. If he had not been so conveniently silenced, if it was sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #65
Since the possiblity of a trial is non-existent.. MicaelS Nov 2013 #73
So concentrating on what actually happened in Dealey Plaza is a distraction? Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #64
There was a murder committed in a town not far from where I lived several years ago. They got the sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #66
Are you saying Oswald was the only person shooting that day? Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #69
I don't have a problem accepting that. I don't know for sure but it doesn't alter much about the sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #110
Oswald's motive? MicaelS Nov 2013 #74
There are untold numbers of delusional people who want to be somebody important. Who want power and sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #111
So he denied killing the President, so what? MicaelS Nov 2013 #114
I was just told that his motive was to get attention, for the 'power and glory' of being the one to sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #115
You're 100% right. Thanks. nt. Mc Mike Nov 2013 #123
He did get attention. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #139
He apparently wasn't happy with WHY he got attention, since he addamently denied it and claimed sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #141
"What? No reporters?" nyquil_man Dec 2013 #142

If you were investigating, what would be the biggest questions? BlueStreak Nov 2013 #132
Some Questions regarding Oswald and the Conspiracy Martin Eden Nov 2013 #14
The police gave Oswald a paraffin test and he passed. former9thward Nov 2013 #26
The WC had someone test-fire Oswald's rifle three times in rapid succession. DanTex Nov 2013 #30
Oh I know the paraffin test is always unreliable for Oswald. former9thward Nov 2013 #38
Actually, it's unreliable for everyone. DanTex Nov 2013 #41
The paraffin test is a reliable test used in criminal courts in this country. former9thward Nov 2013 #46
OK, so you're going to ignore the WC reproduction of the paraffin test. That figures. DanTex Nov 2013 #48
It was not just four flights of stairs ... former9thward Nov 2013 #50
The police tests did not have them arriving at about the same time. DanTex Nov 2013 #52
"The recreations included the time to stash the rifle" former9thward Nov 2013 #57

"Oswald was in the lunchroom the whole time." That's not what Oswald said. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #75
I have worked in a number of places. former9thward Nov 2013 #93
Not even a moment's acknowledgement of being wrong about where Oswald was Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #100
"The rifle was found stashed under some boxes in the opposite corner of the 6th floor..." Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #62
Wow, you were there. Well that settles it. former9thward Nov 2013 #67
Yes, I have been on the sixth floor. The rifle's hiding place was on the way to the staircase. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #68
You have given your memorized your verses from the WC Bible well. former9thward Nov 2013 #71
Facts are facts, former9thward. The hiding place for the rifle is along the path to the staircase. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #72
No, it isn't. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #102

And then there is this. Uncle Joe Nov 2013 #81
And then there's this, which calls that quote into question: Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #84
It doesn't take a great deal of common sense to know that if you're the Mafia intent on killing Uncle Joe Nov 2013 #86
Correlation is not causation. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #90
Apparently Oswald didn't want to quit or get fired from that job unlike the other two Uncle Joe Nov 2013 #95

Who planned the route? n/t Uncle Joe Nov 2013 #98
