All righty, then, I'm an idiot because i believe the available evidence, while you have no evidence to the contrary. Uh huh. There has to be a conspiracy. There just has to !! I WANT TO BELIEVE!!!!!1!
Your words: As far as I am concerned, anyone who is willing to buy that garbage, is seriously suspect when it comes to free thinking.
But you can provide no evidence to the contrary. So I should believe you because ... you said so. Please.
The "Best Evidence" book which I read a long while ago might give you some insight to the mysteries of the handling of the situation way back in 1963.
It also might give me insight into the conspiracy loopiness of David Lifton. Been there, done that. David Lane, too.
You're obviously new to this discussion. I'm not. The debate has gone one for almost 44 years, and I was involved in it for more than a dozen before I lost the energy. Don't bring the weak stuff to the table.
I have read a few other books on the subject as well, but that fact I supose will clearly/likely not carry much weight in your view.
I bet all of them came down on the pro-conspiracy side. I've read "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner, and I recommend it. I haven't read -- but I plan to -- "Reclaiming history" by Vincent Bugliosi, The Los Angeles County DA who, among other accomplishments, got Charles Manson convicted.
So, no, the fact that you've read a few books doesn't carry a lot of weight with me. I've read a few more.
Jim Garrison
was a hack, a charlatan, and a self-promoting fraud. A few years after the failed prosecution of Clay Shaw, Garrison faced and was acquitted of corruption charges.
He was later defeated for re-election by an attorney named Harry Connick. Connick's son, Harry Jr., was a prodigy who took after-school piano lessons from a N'awlins pianist named Ellis Marsalis. After the lessons, he played -- played music, played games -- with Marsalis' sons, Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason.
Oliver Stone's fantasy flick was based on Garrison's made-up theory. It doesn't merit more commentary than that.
Whatever, as long as there are mindless ones such as yourself who find "free thinking" to be somehow an insult
I don't think "free thinking" is an insult. I think your use of the phrase is a joke. I am not opposed to free thinking -- I'm a practitioner. I'm not mocking free thinking. I'm mocking you.
the perpetrators will continue to move among us all unabated.
The murderer of President John F. Kennedy was Lee Harvey Oswald, who was shot dead in November 1963. If you know of other perpetrators who "continue to walk among us unabated," name them.
As excellent a refutation of an argument as I have ever read! Well Done, Sir!!
I am still going to turn them out, but I wanted to say before I tuck myself in that you are willfully blind in my opinion.
If you are so feeble minded that you believe that hogwash of a cover up concerning Oswald and Kennedy, then likely you and I really do not have a whole lot to talk about at all.
I knew an attorney years ago who was a Tulane Grad who's first job out of law school was as an assistant DA in Garrison's office before and during Garrison's JFK "trial." His opinion (and according to him the near unanimous opinion of the people who actually worked in that office) was that Jim Garrison was a totally crooked, (even by New Orleans' low standards), two-bit hustler.
