Connally admitted not being clear on the sequence, understandable since he went into shock, and said that he relied on his wife's account. Connally's wife was facing forward and had no way of knowing when JFK was first hit relative to her husband. The physical, photographic, and ear/eyewitness accounts trump her presumptions about which shot(s) may have hit JFK -- despite her proximity, she was in a poorer position to view JFK's woundings than other people were.
Of course. There were no reliable witnesses that day were there? lol
In the meantime, and while all of this ammo is cracking overhead, everyone in the car is yawning and enjoying the crowds.
right.
There's no way the magic bullet struck Kennedy at a 45 degree downward angle and exited up at the throat, and then struck Connally at a 39 degree downward angle. Coming down at 45 degrees it would've hit the floorborad before it ever hit Connally.
I dont agree that the angle of the street was such as to make the shooter on a flat plain with the target. Also the vehicle's speed did not remain constant thus further hindering the shooters ability to properly lead the target. Also, it would seem that the first shot would've been the headshot and not a last shot. Also consider the first shot was a hit...the second a complete miss and the third a dead on headshot? There was no progression in accuracy [to be expected]. Also all three shots would've struck the target if it were not difficult from the AOA employed.
No.
Too many variables [listed throughout] converging in a very compressed and highly stressed time frame for me to accept a poorly disciplined, highly incompetent pizzabox making the shot.
No, of course not. How could I have forgotten?
and even the government admitted it wasn't true.
Yes, of course they did, how could I have forgotten?

Is that what I said? Why no, it isn't, is it?
Misrepresent the evidence if you get your jollies that way, but do *NOT* lie to my face about what I've written, I won't stand for it. Now are you honorable enough to apologize?
Your chronology is wrong. The first shot missed.
Also all three shots would've struck the target if it were not difficult from the AOA employed.
The first shot was deflected by an intervening tree branch.
Do you even know what an earlobe *is*?

Thanks for proving my point. You're misrepresenting the facts.
No one claims that that's what happened, but thanks for adding more lies to the pile.
In the real world, meanwhile, both JFK and Connally turn their heads at the sound of the first shot (and others in the crowd react as well). At the second shot, describing their reactions as "yawning and enjoying the crowds" is a gross misrepresentation.
House Committee on Assassinations. Look it up.

You have to deny the testimony of about everyone to support the MBT

Apologize?! ROFL! You're the one that says with a straight face that Kennedy had full earlobes! Every video there is proves he didn't.
I'll accept that empty screech as a concession, since by admitting that reenactments *have* taken place "proving the government's case", you admit the falsity of your claim that "no one has ever duplicated such a scenario", which was the subject of the bet.
Let me know when you make the donation to FreeRepublic in my name.
A lobe is a rounded projection. Kennedy had no rounded projection. The corpse does!
That's not true. She recently said in an interview here in Houston that upon hearing the first shot she turned to look at the president and further stated that the look in his eyes was chilling or something to that effect. Then her husband was hit with a second shot and she immediately focused her attention on him. Nellie hunted with her husband on more than one occasion and is familiar with the sound of rifle fire, most women her age in Texas are.Her story hasnt changed in over 40 years now. Posner is full of shit.
Oooppss!! Sorry! Forgot < /sarcasm>.
BTW, you're quite touchy, eh?
You deny that the bullet hit Connally at 39 degrees downward or that Kennedy's wound was at 45 degrees downward?
You'll have to prove that one.
