Lee Harvey Oswald and the ACLU
Breitbart.com ^ | November 22, 2013 | Jarrett Stepman

Posted on 11/23/2013 9:56:06 AM PST by Q-ManRN

Although conspiracy theories abound as to who orchestrated President John F. Kennedy’s murder 50 years ago, there is little doubt regarding who actually pulled the trigger and shot the 35th president: left-wing radical Lee Harvey Oswald.

He was involved with a number of liberal causes and had been a member of the American Civil Liberties Union; he had officially joined just weeks before he took Kennedy’s life, and when questioned after murdering Kennedy, Oswald specifically asked for an ACLU attorney.

Savodink said that Oswald’s fellow marines called him “Oswaldskovich” because of his fascination with communism and the U.S.S.R.

Whatever theories exist about connections to the Soviet Union, Cuba, the mob, the CIA, or anything else, Lee Harvey Oswald was a leftist true believer that wanted to take out the President of the United States and leader of the free world.

Ultimately, Oswald was militantly anti-American, desperately tried to join the country’s enemies, and would have willingly betrayed the United States.

With all the media talk today of right-wing extremists, liberals like to forget that Lee Harvey Oswald was an avowed Marxist left-wing radical credited with killing President john F. Kennedy. He wanted a communist lawyer and was a member of the ACLU.

Some of these 50th anniversary shows have talked about Dallas being a hotbed of hatred and all that. As if Dallas was collectively responsible for the shooting.

Makes as much sense as that idiot sheriff in Tucson, Arizona, after the Giffords shooting, talking about hatred and intolerance there. The fact that we later found out that the Tucson shooter was just plain nuts, and if anything politically, leaned left, was conveniently left out of the sheriff’s talking about the atmosphere of hatred there.

Libs have re-written history, portrayed Oswald as a patsy, and claim that a vast right-wing conspiracy - fueled by “the venomous spirit of Dallas” - killed Kennedy

Libs never say that the Manson gang was spawned by the atmosphere of extreme left-wing rhetoric that was occurring at the time.

The same left wing extremist that promoted race war and influence the black Muslim street gang that Jesse (Robinson* ) jack$on half brother is doing life in prison because of his involvment. The gang intiated by a mexican drug cartel were actually charged with domestic violence with influence and money from gun running with Kadaffi.

MSM missed the mark big time! Did I mention their area was the community O organized in Chicago?

We watched a very good program on the Kennedy assassination last night on the Military Channel.

We were living in Dallas when this happened.

This program was the best and most detailed account of the event I have ever seen.

It is shocking to realize the ability of the leftist government/media complex to re-write history to suit their agenda. The vast majority of Americans, and sadly, many on FR, have bought into the leftist propaganda that somehow, some way, right wingers were responsible for the assassination of Kennedy.

There has never been a more open and shut case in the history of murder. We have film of what happened. Kennedy was killed with a bullet fired from Oswald’s rifle that Oswald purchased, that Oswald picked up that morning, that Oswald was seen carrying into the School Book Depository building that morning, and that was found in the building after the assassination.

The single bullet theory has been shown over and over by many researchers to be the most plausible explanation of how Kennedy and Conway were shot. It is the ONLY theory that fits all of the facts.

The fact is a punk commie killed Kennedy. He killed Kennedy because of his policies on the communist Castro. Not right wingers in government. Not right wingers in Dallas. A communist did it. One of the left’s own did it.

Leftist claim that the Third Reich was right-wing when in fact it was founded by National Socialists who instituted, old-age pensions, national healthcare, strict gun=control and compulsory education through high-school.

The nazis were left wing

For instance, the New York Times recently published an article called, “The City With a Death Wish in its Eye,” in which the author, James McAuley, called Dallas the “city of hate,” a city that “willed the death of a president.”

James McAuley was a typical New York Times hater.

McAuley missed the cheering crowd lining the motorcade in Dallas - missed residents of the city at the airport happy to see their President. And he MISSED the truth - that a Communist - a man who had praised Castro and visited Cuba and the USSR was the killer, The man - the killer - the monster Oswald was a progressive liberal - a communist.

James McAuley was a fool.

The bulk of the MSM at the time - NBC, CBS, and ABC and most newspaper - in their typical fashion - followed the lead of the New York Times. They carried the lies - put on their silly blinders and chose to hate traditional Americans rather than report the truth..

It was the beginning of the press not being trusted. Americans were able to see the crowds in Dallas on their TV's... then they heard the words of journalist telling lies.

About right BUT it is not out of the realm of possibility that Castro OR the KGB were behind Oswald. Remember the KGB used a Bulgarian, in an attempt to assassinate Pope John Paul in 1981(just 13 years later)

I would’ve expected something a little more sophisticared and knowledgable from a Breitbart writer. 50 years plus one day from the event and we are still treated to “Case Closed” tripe like this.It’s true Oswald requested John Abt as his legal representative in that 48 hour span before RUBY finished him off; however ,the A.C.L.U. HAD represented,and continues to either weigh in or proactively represent many non-Communists-—had Abt been reachable on Nov.23rd, his org. probably would’ve declined to represent Oswald anyway-—it would’ve strengthened the soon-to-be-perfected narrative that served too many interests in Government,that Lho and ONLY LHO,as a lone loser with delusional Communist sympathies,decided one fine day to take down a charismatic “winner” from the 6th floor window of the place where he worked.The facts ARE that Oswald was a deep cover intelligence agent who played both sides of the fence at the behest of whatever agencies controlled/manipulated him,and wound up,by virtue of the surface-only reading and recitation of his personal/political history,fulfilling the role of the ultimate Patsy.INDEED,it’s almost as though he’d been hand-crafted and groomed to BE the fall guy,on whose weak and sloping shoulders the entire responsibility for JFK’s assassination fell.Anyone who has done even

rudimentary reading/research into the true identity of Oswald and the covert
“officially-sanctioned “. programs he was involved in all his brief “adult life”,would and should know better.
From the coverage on this morbid “anniversary” I’ve witnessed in the past several days it seems there’s a lazy default position embraced by some in the Conservative Establishment which handily finds a make-believe and convenient opportunity to grind the axe yet again and reduce Oswald to whatever will fit the Communist template. In effect,they’re turning LHO into
a failed version of Barack Obama.I would venture to say this writer wasn’t even born when JfFK was killed-—at best he lacks perspective,at worst,he ignores or glides over literally MILLIONS of facts which more than suggest
just how dark and troubling our political history is,not to mention how thoroughly enmeshed politics and criminality were,are,and continue to be.The ultimate pop-psychology scenario this writer actually has the nerve to put forth,is that Oswald was so in love with the Cuban Revolution he killed Kennedy in order to impress CASTRO, much like John Hinckley tried to kill Reagan in order to impress Jodie Foster.

These facts you speak of proving Oswald was a spy: Produce them.

“...Kennedy was killed with a bullet fired from Oswald’s rifle that Oswald purchased, that Oswald picked up that morning, ...”

The rifle just arrived that morning, and he hadn’t taken it to a range or farm to sight-it-in? And he made the kill shots with no prior practice? From what accounts I’d read a long time ago, he was a barely average marksman in the USMC.

Just wondering...

“rifle arrived that morning”. Google “Oswalds rifle” for FACTS-— he had it since March and used it to try and kill Gen Walker in April ‘63

May I point out that there is no substantial proof that
Oswald shot Kennedy. It was recently proven that the bullets that hit Kennedy were from two different guns.
Oswald stated himself “I'm just a patsy!”
