Its going to be Kennedy worshipping week and I am going to have to stick to FOX news to get fair and balanced specials on the subject. Otherwise, I am going to get a barf barg with all the revisionism as leftists claim that JFK was a supporter of whatever agenda they have today. Yoou watch, I bet someone will claim JFL was for gay marraige before the week is out.

Its already happening on the History Channel. They have a speical running with a bunch of hate-America college aged leftists making hate-Bush attacks in the name of Kennedy.

There have been other specials on this subject.
My question is if Kennedy was shot in the back of the head why did his head jerk backwards and the skull fragment behind him?

That BBC production "The Men Who Killed the President" Was no tinfoil hat affair. You could SEE what they were talking about. Pretty damn spooky!

recent FOX News poll found that many Americans today do not believe Lee Harvey Oswald (search) was a lone gunman. And there may be some evidence to prove it...

There is no evidence that supports the conclusion that Lee Harvey shot President Kennedy with an old 6.5mm Italian Carcano. There never has been any.

For years I was a Kennedy assassination conspiracy buff. I read virtually every book on the subject and even attended assassination symposiums (or is that "symposia"?). I was totally convinced that there was a conspiracy, probably involving the mafia or some government intelligence agency and that Oswald was an innocent victim, possibley some sort of "patsy" or the guy set up to take the fall

Then about 6 or 7 years ago, I read the book: "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner. My life has not been the same since. He convinced me beyound any responable doubt that Oswald shot Kennedy, acting alone, and that there is absolutely no evidence of a conspiracy.

Wow! It was like a breathe of fresh air, like a load lifted from my back. It was wonderful to be free from all the "conspiracy theories," for which I, like many others fell "hook line and sinker."

It also taught me a huge lesson about life: I was shocked at how gullible I had been! Where else in life had I also been this gullible? It taught me to rethink things that I had accepted at face value, especially when I wanted something to be a certain way.

I know many will read this an think I'm just being "gullible" again. That's Ok. I have no agenda but the pursuit of the truth. "Case Closed" has freed me from the grips of the conspiracy buffs and I'm forever grateful. I would recommend to others seeking only the truth to read this book.

I expect to read posts in response informing me that "Case Closed" was full of inaccuracies. I'm aware that there were some mistakes, but I have read Mr. Posner's rebuttal. He addressed all the supposed inaccuracies. In most cases they wern't mistakes at all. And the ones that remained were inmaterial to the overall thrust of the book. He's been shown to be a thousand times more accurate and true to the evidence than the incredible "liberties with the truth" taken by virtually all the conspiracy writers.

If you still want to believe in a conspiracy, go right ahead! For me, the case is closed.

Regardless of JFK's politics, I do not believe that man did that shooting in that short amount of time. From a hundred yards with a sorry Italian made bolt-action rifle? 3 shots in under 7 seconds. Go to a range and try to hit a target from that distance with a scope in under 7 seconds and he was in a moving car. And I just don't buy that one bullet made all of those wounds and then came out round on the stretcher. I just do not buy it.

A few years after the assassination I remember seeing a photgraph of Jackie climbing out over the rear deck of the car (it was a flat top-down convertible) just after the bullet(s) hit JFK. I think it was in Time Magazine, but I don't really remember.

The explanation given was that she was crawling out there to retrieve a piece of JFK's brain which had been blown backward out of the car.

Anybody else remember this? Hmmmm....

Hasn't the TSBD been converted to a museum to the assassination? Is it worth patronizing by a FReeper? Does it present the Oswald-alone theory exclusively or are other theories recognized?

foreverfree (like LBJ, born on August 27, but unlike LBJ, my exposure to TX consists of two DFW stopovers in 1981)

Missed the show.

Did anyone mention the new book by Barr McClellan, Blood, Money & Power: How L. B. J. Killed J. F. K.?

The reason JFK was assassinated has always been of less interest to the general public than whodunit and how, it would seem. Perhaps this book will tie some loose ends up.

My own conspiracy is far kookier than most. Not only wouldn't I be surprised to find out Lyndon Johnson had something to do with JFK's death, I wouldn't be surprised to find him behind Bobby's as well.

There was no conspiracy. A little worm of a man named Lee Harvey Oswald killed our President and this country has never been the same.

That simple sad fact makes the whole thing much more depressing than any big conspiracy could. That one little worm of a man could do so much damage.

"Join Greta Van Susteren for FOX News Channel's anniversary special — JFK: Case Not Closed ."

Just one more step in the journey of FOX into the realm of tabloid news. Ratings appear to matter more than reporting.
Greta will probably have coverage of both Peterson & Bryant cases as well - let's all speculate!!! I am so sick of the pandering to the lowest common denominator by FOX - next they'll start having a page 3 babe every day - just like Rupert's rag in London.

You'll probably see my uncle's footage of the incident. His family only just recently had it returned to them from the government.
