What I'd really like to know is who paid to have The Great Ronald Reagan And John Paul II shot...
There is much speculation that the Soviets were behind John Paul II's assassination attempt - the Polish connection had them scared.
And LBJ did what in return? Nothing. As most liberals do.
In a way, I hope this could be true. Then when we go in to throw Fidel out, the left would be in a real bind. Do they support the effort as revenge for killing their idol, JFK? Or would their affinity and love for left wing thugs override this?
Cuba Libre!
I thought the church last year claimed that it was the communists (specifically the soviets) that had wanted Pope John Paul II killed.
As for Reagan, nobody could have paid Hinkley to shoot Reagan (they could have impersonated Jodie Foster maybe), but that guy was out and out, and is still out and out nuts.
Obviously, I don't believe the Bush/Hinkley story.

Just when Bush was starting to attend Yale, and doing
nothing about this grave threat to the country :-)
And it took 42 years to state the obvious!
30 pieces of silver.
Rot in hell, Lee Harvey.
Another day, another conspiracy.
While your kings and queens

For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Weren't the Bulgarians laundering KGB money to have the Pope shot? As to Hinkley, I would think that that little rat was working on his own.
The Soviets, of course, wanted RR and the Pope dead, as being far more trouble to the USSR than they were worth. But not JFK. He was worth more alive than dead. Now, JFK was a patriotic American despite his faults. But the Soviets regarded him as manipulable.
Castro hated Kennedy enough to have him killed. Oswald was Castro's equally hate-filled triggerman. Recall Oswald was handing out `Hands off Cuba!' leaflets just weeks before he did his dastardly deed.
Castro is now on his tenth U.S. president.
Oswald travelled to Mexico City by bus in September 1963, seven weeks before the Kennedy shooting, and met agents at the Cuban embassy there who paid him $US6500 ($8790).
Show me the money!
Oswald was a lone nut(as was Ruby), and no nut making a documentary is going to change my mind.
Assassination 101: "The assassin must also be killed."
Ridiculous on several levels. Not the least being that Kennedy's trip had not been announced when Oswald was in Mexico.
Oswald didn't need to be paid to shoot people. Just ask General Walker.
In earlier times, he, Oswald, had also talked about shooting Ike and even Richard Nixon.
Geez, and all this time I thought it was Bush's fault!
Don't know about Reagan,but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out who had the most to gain from killing the Pope that lived under Communism,knew it better than just about anyone and had the means to help bring it down...which he,President Reagan and Mrs Thatcher eventually succeeded in doing.
