I like a lot about OReilly too. But he’s sure let America down by covering up, or at least refusing to inquire into, bHusseinO’s bona fides (if any )

[The KG9 Kid]

Oswald did shoot JFK. He thought it up and did it all by himself with almost no advance notice of Kennedy’s route through Dallas or time to prepare.

He murdered President Kennedy with an entirely suitable surplus military rifle using domestically made ammunition. Firing his rounds at Kennedy at ranges between 44 and 88 yards, it was a dead simple shot for a man who learned marksmanship in the USMC.

The only conspiracy in the fact that Oswald murdered JFK is that legions of commie liberal hoaxsters have successfully persuaded a large segment of not very inquisitive people that any number of shadowy persons killed Kennedy for a wide range of absurd reasons rather than the truth that an unstable left wing whack job named Lee Harvey Oswald was alone in pulling the trigger that day.

[Longbow1969]

You’re very disappointed O’Reilly doesn’t buy into your loopy conspiracy theories?

Oswald did shoot JFK.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Years ago I read an article in Popular Mechanics magazine about the proof of Oswald’s guilt, written by (then) Congressman Gerald Ford.

One of the things he mentioned was that caught on the butt screw of the Carcano rilfe was found a small piece of thread that came from Oswald’s shirt.

Then there are those tests by DISCOVERY TV in which a series of artificial cadavers were set up in the same was as Kennedy and Connally. Connally was not in a regular seat but in a lower jump seat in front of kennedy.

Using a Carcano rifle with ammo from the same lot as used by Oswald, fired from the same height as the Book depository building window, the bullet tracked EXACTLY as the one that killed Kennedy, twisted, hit Connally in exactly the same place, when through him, twisted and hit his leg and arm in exactly the sane place.

You’re suffering from two serious problems here:
1 - you listen to Bill O’Reilly. He’s an idiot, blow hard jerk, self aggrandizing liar. Don’t watch his show, it just encourages him to tell more stupid lies, and it eats your brain.
2 - you believe a bad conspiracy theory, not only that but a pointless conspiracy theory. The reality of it is that Oswald probably did kill JFK, and even if he didn’t, it was 49 years ago, who cares.

Walk away from conspiracy theories, run away from talking head dipsticks like Bill O’Reilly, you’ll quickly find your life becomes simpler, and more enjoyable, and you’ll get smarter.

O'Reilly Says Oswald Shot JFK

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

[Haddon]

O’Reilly is simply trying to make a few more million by writing a book quickly after his very successful “Killing Lincoln” book. And that’s all folks.

[jyro]

after O reillys gun rant a few months back I realized he didn’t know anything about guns but be talked like he did, now I can’t watch him because I don’t trust anything he says.

From the Wall Street Journal
NOVEMBER 24, 2007

Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.

Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy's efforts to overthrow Castro's regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration's plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.

Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots." Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that "something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order."

The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy's ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.

Lee Harvey Oswald
From Wikipedia (with lots of references at site) :

Around the age of fifteen, he became an ardent Marxist solely from his private reading on the topic. He wrote in his diary, "I was looking for a key to my environment, and then I discovered socialist literature. I had to dig for my books in the back dusty shelves of libraries."[13] At 16 he wrote to the Socialist Party of America, stating that he was a Marxist who had been studying socialist principles for "well over fifteen months," and asked for information about their youth league.[14]

While in the Marines, Oswald was trained in the use of the M1 Garand rifle. Following that training, he was tested in December of 1956, and obtained a score of 212, which was 2 points above the minimum for qualifications as a sharpshooter. In May 1959, on another range, Oswald scored 191, which was 1 point over the minimum for ranking as a marksman.[17]

Small and frail compared to the other Marines, he was nicknamed Ozzie Rabbit after the cartoon character. His shyness and Soviet sympathies alienated him from his fellow Marines. Ostracism only seemed to provoke him into being a stauncher, more outspoken communist. For his steadfast beliefs, his nickname ultimately became Oswaldskovich.

Life in the Soviet Union

In October 1959, Oswald immigrated to the Soviet Union. He was nineteen, and the trip was planned well in advance. Along with having taught himself rudimentary Russian, he had saved $1,500 of his Marine Corps salary,[19] got an early "hardship" discharge by (falsely) claiming he needed to care for his injured mother,[20] got a passport, and submitted several fictional applications to foreign universities in order to obtain a student visa (and possibly help avoid Marine Corps reserve duty).

After spending only three days with his mother in Fort Worth, he departed by ship from New Orleans on September 20, 1959, for the Soviet Union, first arriving in Le Havre in France, then to London,England and eventually Oswald to a Finnair flight to Helsinki, Finland as part of a package tour. Oswald landed to Helsinki airport in October 10 at 23.30 a.m. he registered at the Hotel Torni but two days later , he moved to the Kurki Hotel.Oswald applied for a visa at the embassy on October 12, his first business day in Helsinki. Oswalds visa was issued on October 14. It was valid until October 20 and permitted him to take one trip of not more than 6 days to the Soviet Union. He left from Helsinki Central Railway Station by train next day on October 15 to Moscow and when he crossed the Finnish-Russian border at Vainikkala, he arrived to Moscow on October 16." [21] When he arrived in the Soviet Union and showed up unexpectedly at the Embassy in Moscow, he said he wanted to renounce his U.S. citizenship.[22][23] When the Navy Department learned of this, it changed Oswald's Marine Corps discharge from "hardship/honorable" to "undesirable."[24]

Oswald told a reporter in Moscow, "For two years I've had it in my mind, don't form any attachments, because I knew I was going away. I was planning to divest myself of everything to do with the United States."[25] To another reporter he said, "I would not consider returning to the United States," and referred to the Soviet government as "my government."[26] His wish to remain in the Soviet Union was initially applauded by the Soviets, but although he had some technical knowledge acquired in the Marines they soon discovered he had little of real value to offer the Soviet Union and his application for Soviet residency was rejected.[27] In response, Oswald made a bloody but minor cut to his left wrist in his hotel room bathtub. After bandaging his superficial injury, the cautious Soviets kept him under psychiatric observation at the Botkin Hospital.[28][29] Although this attempt may have been no more than an attention-getting ruse, the Soviet government feared an international incident if he were to attempt something similar again.

New Orleans

Oswald returned to New Orleans, arriving on the morning of April 25, 1963 looking for work. After Oswald got a job as a machinery greaser with the Reily Coffee Company in May, Marina was driven there by family friend Ruth Paine. Oswald was fired for inefficiency and dereliction of duty on July 19.

During this period, Oswald began to consider returning to the Soviet Union or going to Cuba.[57] He had Marina write to the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. about the possibility of their returning to the Soviet Union.[58] His Marxist ideals became focused on Fidel Castro and Cuba and he soon became a vocal pro-Castro advocate.

Anyone that has actually reviewed the data and seen the re-enactments knows Oswald did, indeed, shoot JFK. I’ve stood in that window and realized I could have made that shot with a pistol, a slingshot, and even thrown a rock and hit JFK, maybe even with a spitwad.

[STD]

Who’s kidding who! It was a necessary evil. Drugged out pervert If he didn’t fall apart from his depravity first.

[astratt7]

Well people in Dallas like me, know better. You can talk about whatever bullet you want, but several eyewitnesses saw a second shooter....so....disprove that.
And it was all tied up so neatly the way Oswald was disposed of so quickly.....but I guess that was all just coincidence....yeah....that’s what is was.....
Like everything Obama wrote about himself is true....he he.

[mfish13]

Oswald did well in target practice. This was at 200 yards with open sights. In Dallas the last shot was at 68 yards with a scope. And an Australian group was able to duplicate the “Magic: bullet with almost 100% accuracy, pun intended.

[buffaloguy]

The shot tha Oswald took at about 60 yards is an extremely shot to make. I could have that as can many of my shooting buddies. Quite an easy shot.

[Doc91678]

Oswald was part of the same cabal that has foisted Obama upon America. Oswald mad no bones about his Marxist ideology. For some reason “Progressive Liberal Democrats’ didn't like JFK after he was elected. Was it the Cuban crisis or something else?

[RichardW]

So why are you disappointed? It also happens to be true. Oswald was the lone gunman.

[ETL]

“Shoe store manager Johnny Brewer testified that minutes later he saw Oswald “ducking into” the entrance alcove of his store. Suspicious of this activity, Brewer watched Oswald continue up the street and slip into the nearby Texas Theatre without paying.[138] He alerted the theater’s ticket clerk, who telephoned police[139] at about 1:40 pm.

As police arrived, the house lights were brought up and Brewer pointed out Oswald sitting near the rear of the theater. Oswald appeared to surrender (saying, “Well, it is all over now”,[140] or “This is it”) then pulled a pistol tucked into the front of his trousers, pointed it at an officer, and pulled the trigger. However, the officer (Nick McDonald) stated that the hammer came down on the webbing between his thumb and first finger of his own left hand as he grabbed for the pistol, and it did not fire. Oswald also struck the officer with his left hand. However, the officer struck back and Oswald was disarmed after a struggle.[141][142] As he was led from the theater, Oswald shouted he was a victim of police brutality.[140]”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Harvey_Oswald#Capture

[Doc91678]

From what I’ve read and watched on TV, there is no longer any doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter. However, I still believe that it was all political and based upon Oswald’s Marxist ideology. Whether he was assisted or not will never be known since most witnesses to any conspiracy are more than likely long dead.

[GodfearingTexan]

There had to have been multiple people involved and more than one shooter. Oswald was involved but wasn’t alone. E. Howard Hunt told his son on his deathbed that LBJ was behind it. A lot of facts were in the Stone movie, even if Stone is a fruitcake: the prostitute thrown from the car on the highway from NOLA to Dallas. Oswald’s defection, marriage, redefection. The magic bullet theory. JFK’s head snapping backwards and witnesses (many) saying the shots came from the grassy knoll. Too many things wrong with the Warren Commission report.

And I’m a realist, a conservative, a veteran. Do I know the answer? No, but I know it didn’t go down with Oswald as a Lone Wolf.
