On Saturday, Hill made his second trip to Dallas this year, this time to open up to the world.

I think “we” care about being accused of being conspiracy nuts, but “we” don’t care about JFK or his chickens coming home to roost.

R Lee Ermey said it best in “Full Metal Jacket”

HARTMAN: Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball?

SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!

HARTMAN: That’s right, and do you know how far away he was?

SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!

HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker?

JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir!

HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!

Leaving behind the conspiracy/no conspiracy arguments, have you ever noticed the parallels between Oswald and Stanley Ann Dunham? Same age and era, both fellow traveler atheist Marxists, both studied Russian, both married communist foreigners, and...

Both born of a bitterness against Eisenhower’s peace and prosperity.

Back when Oliver Stone’s movie about the assassination came out, my brother met the man who claimed to be X. He tried to convince me and our parents that Stone’s version was correct. He kept telling us, “he was sitting right here in my dining room and told me everything. He’s the real deal.”
My brother was totally convinced Stone had the story right. Time has passed and he has read lots more on the subject and he no longer believes it.

Thanks - good post.
I don't know who "Ditter" is, but he's all over this thread like a bad rash and doesn't have a feckin' clue about shooting - especially how a Marine does it.
"Joe Marine 76" isn't much better, but he did shoot an M16 which is almost like qualifying with a real rifle. He's probably a "ten percenter."
Maybe they both stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[Joe Marine 76]

I understand about the 7 seconds thingy, but still I don’t believe Oswald could have hit his target.

BTW, the “Tinker Toy” ... that’s funny! Depending on your service dates, you’d probably consider me a youngster?

Is that supposed to be an intelligent response?

[Eagle Eye]

There are a lot of supposedly credible people on FR who believe that there were plenty of conspiracies surrounding the clintons, and I think that the Dan Rather memo even fits into that conspiracy category.

US history is full of events where the official version seems to have serious holes or contradictions.

And recent history has shown us that the government is not above abusing citizens (Ruby Ridge, Waco) with recklessness and callousness.

For anyone to ask me to believe the government as my default position is to ask me to ignore a whole lot that I cannot ignore.

Your posts only indicate you can’t hit the broad side of a barn.

Thanks Bert.Just watched the whole thing.

Would suggest - again - Edward T. Haslam's book, "Dr. Mary and the Monkey"
I was intrigued enough to look up the book in my local library and was surprised they have a copy. It's on my read list now.
The title is actually,"Dr. Mary's Monkey", not that it matters. Thx ...

Minimum 4 shots: Back, head, curb, car trim.
Impossible for shot fired from depository to hit curb.
Look up Jim Braden, picked up in DalTex building.
Shot that hit curb was from DalTex.
House Committee correct: conspiracy.

Will this never end? I have it on very good authority that the late Soupy sales was the actual assassin.

[Kackikat]

Please read whole article, and then decide which story Jack Ruby told was correct one, because even Jimmy Hoffa said it was a conspiracy.....anyone seen Hoffa lately?

More fuel to the fire, why did so many men die within just a few years by assasination:
