You accuse others here of "intellectually lazy logic" used to "dismiss the physical mechanics of Oswald's shooting ability"; -- yet you can't be bothered to dismiss the physical mechanics involved in Specter's single bullet theory.

-- My recent posts on that theory have yet to be addressed. - Feel free to dazzle us with your logic.

You've said previously in this thread that you harbor no conspiracy theory aside from your unwillingness to believe Sen. Specter's single bullet theory.

I think that others here (and in previous threads) are doing a swell job of showing timing data, wound ballistic data, victim testimony, and forensic medical data showing that the single bullet theory is the only suitable and logical answer for shot #2.

If you disagree on timing, you're just wrong. If you disagree on wounding potential and likelihood of shot #2, where's your other bullet(s)?

... Come to think of it, where's YOUR 'magic bullet', tpaine?

You know, that magic bullet that leaves no trace of itself whatsoever but allows bullet #2 to only deal some portion of the wounds claimed by Specter's single bullet theory. It's the magic bullet that does the rest of the wounds to Kennedy (and perhaps presumably, Connally) yet cannot be accounted for in any way.

Where is this vanishing bullet?

Consider this: We're compelled to satisfy you and other WC skeptics by showing you the relative height of the two wounded men in the limousine, the bullet hole in Kennedy's suit coat as it relates to his dress shirt hole discrepancy caused by his back brace girdle, new video of Kennedy riding in the motorcade with the same rumpled fabric in his suit , the nick in his necktie knot from the exit wound of the bullet, the medical analysis showing that the emergency tracheotomy is NOT a frontal wound, the damage to the interior of the vehicle, the position of Gov. Connally matching with the bullet pathing, the frame by frame analysis of the victims and bystanders reactions to the shots as recorded on the Zapruder film, the X-ray data showing that all of the fragmented bullet material to Kennedy is in the right side of his cranium, the fragmented dishing of the impact wound on the bone of Kennedy's skull showing an entrance wound from the back along with the halo bruising of the upper dermis of Kennedy's head, the physics of 'jet effect', the two-frame forward lurch of bullet impact of shot #3, the wounded spectator downrange in the line of fire hit by fragments of shot #1, and the nuclear accelerator data showing the molecular signature of the lead/bismuth/antimony/copper material and rifling pattern used in the bullets fired from Oswald's rifle 'C2766' to the exclusion of any other weapon.

In our mission to prove this, we're charged with the labor of shooting down every stupid 'UFOs vs. Bigfoot' crackpot theory that deals with explosive bullets, sewer snipers, the Grassy Knoll, the 'pristine bullet' ("Hah! That dawg don't hunt."), switched bodies in caskets, clandestine burials at sea by the Kennedy family, deliberately botched autopsies, forged medical records, CIA M14 rifles rechambered for some wildcat 6.5x51mm round using Carcano projectiles on top of a .308 Winchester case, deliberately confused shot timing presumptions, paranoiac rantings about the US Federal Reserve, irrelevant Dallas police department Dictabelt recordings, and most annoyingly, screenplay dialogue from the execrable Oliver Stone movie JFK.

Yet you can just dismiss all of this and say that the kill shot came from the front and not produce a shred of material evidence. You just say "Nope nope nope. Shot came from the front." and haven't got a single thing to stand on to prove it. No particle data, no bullet fragments, no witnesses, no physics data, no wounding data, no medical data. Nothing. We avalanche you with data and evidence supporting what really happened, you offer nothing to support your claim of shadowy unnamed conspirators firing vanishing bullets.

Now truly, tpaine. Is this intellectually fair of you?

I have the sinking feeling that we're just going to have to go over this all again in the next JFK thread that pops up; We smash the ridiculous theories invented by Marxist diversionists and irrational paranoiacs, but you just say "Nope nope. Shot came from the front. It's a conspiracy." offer zero credible evidence of your own and dismiss everything else. If that's the case, let's just stop now, petition Jim Robinson for an 'ignore' feature on FR, and you can go off and rally around the people who think that the Apollo landings were shot in a warehouse in Area 51.
