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.[snip]
...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.

This sounds like a job for Michael Moore!
Nonsense.
Oh Wow. What I could post, but I won't! :-)
If only Kerry would come clean about Oswald's missing ammunition.
Leave the tinfoil hat stuff to the RATS.
Oops...they make it sound like Kennedy was shot in Paine's house.
Agreed, but if this fellow was a distant relative of Bush, this would've been in Fahrenheit 911 for sure.

I think Rivero floated this one years ago.
Albeit, it was in a multiple choice post . .
Fascinating people we have in the political world -
I noticed the two put downs you got from your post were from two new people - and that adds to the fun of the conspircy -
Interesting stuff -
Wow ... It took 3 people to write this?
Coincidences and odd, random links abound among the characters on the edges of the assassination. George Mohrenschildt, the mysterious Russian emigre who befriended Oswald on his return from the USSR, also knew Jackie from years before:
"May 1938-Emigrated to the United States with approximately $10,000 from his mother's estate and sports business. Worked for Chevalier Garde in New York selling perfumes. worked as salesman for Shumaker & Com Met Jackie Kennedy and her mother at Belport, Long Island, during the summer vacation."

And in 1963, he introduced Oswald to Ruth Paine. Link here:

Scarier than the 3-D House of Vampire Stewardesses!
One to write it and two to fight off the editors.
Not really - I was here during the Clinton years - but forgot the sign in name - so I made a new one
Eh, don't get me wrong. This might be just the thing to sway an undecided voter or two, since anyone who is undecided at this point must have a screw loose. It makes about as much sense as worrying about folds in the president's suit and the RATS are still beating that dead equine.
No, three people and quart of tequila and a sheet of LSD.
Any close examination of Oswald's history will strongly indicate that he was most likely a low-level operative for U.S. Intelligence. What he did who knows but I think it is part of what has fueled the conspiracy theories about JFK's assasination. That Paine would have ties to the CIA is no surprise. Interesting connections to Kerry, though.
