Hmmm- has anyone else noticed that the cries from prominent Democrats to "move on" and stop trying to investigate this assassination have increased very markedly since a new book implicating LBJ in a conspiracy to kill Kennedy appeared?

I was watching C-Span yesterday and Bob Schieffer got downright angry at the mention of the book. They're doing everything they can to protect LBJ.

Yes, that was Barr McClellan, a lawyer at the firm that did a lot of work for LBJ. He has come forward to implicate LBJ, although I am not sure why he waited 40 years. Anyway, he was on this morning, doing a long talk promoting his theory. I'm not sure there is anything there, but since I always hated LBJ I am interested to see where this leads.

What WOULD happen if it could be proven beyond doubt that LBJ was up to his bushy eyebrows in this thing?

I honestly don't know- I suspect that there would be no possible level of proof that would convince diehard Democrats, and it would break down along Party lines, like everything else in this country.
