RE: Wow. Sad that some believe this crap.
This is the oldest logical fallacy in the book -— Because someone shares something with some other person, therefore both are similar based on what they share. This is called ARGUMENT FROM FALSE ANALOGY.
P and Q are similar in respect to properties a, b, and c.
Object P has been observed to have further property x.
Therefore, Q probably has property x also.
For instance, Hitler believes the Sun rises in the East, Billy believes the sun rises in the east.
Hitler likes classical music, Billy likes classical music
Hitler dislikes homosexuals, Billy dislikes homosexuals.
Hitler does not drink or smoke. Billy does not drink or smoke.
Hitler is a Nazi
Therefore -— Billy is a Nazi.
Replace Lee Harvey Oswald with Hitler and Billy with Tea Party in the above essay and you have exactly the same fallacy.
Too many liberals argue like that ( you can see lots of examples of this fallacy by watching MSNBC or reading the editorial pages of WaPo or the New York Times).
There were constitutionalists around back then?
There is always going to be vitriol when people think you're going down the wrong road.
Now, the question is, who terminated Kennedy? And the answer is that there has been a lot of obfuscation on that score. It didn't look to me like LBJ was prepared to dig that deep.
You’re right people better not laugh this off.
The last time the left started this type of talking points campaign against the TEA Party there was an attempted car bombing in NYC which they tried to blame on the TEA Party.
Of course the dems didn’t orchestrate the news for that terrorist attack, no no no, the terrorist simply picked up on the dems talking points in the news and “spontaneously” planned the attack.
I know that has to be true because after the attack in Benghazi the Obama WH told us the terrorist are picking up on news and “spontaneously” planning their attacks around the news.
A self proclaimed communist assassinated a president that was a tax cutting, strong defense, pro-life, church attending, space exploring President that was very proud of America.
Yep, this article is spot on!

As I said in my post #41 above, this writer is DELIBERATELY DISHONEST. He focuses on certain alleged similarities and then totally IGNORES the differences and then makes his thesis on that basis.
I wonder what college he attended, and what grades he got from his essays....
Exactly. If her were alive today, he’d be in the Obama Administration—heading up the death panels.
And the Tea Party Republican’s filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, George Wallace was a Republican, Lincoln was a Democrat and the first black members of the House of Representatives and the Senate were Democrats.
