Oswald didn’t do it. I think he was set up.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I am still convinced that MLK was assassinated by the Commies as well to bring about ‘change’ through riots.

[Michael.SF.]

I heard this portion of the show, sorry Rush, no sale.

Oswald was the fall guy, for who, that is the difficult part.

[Intolerant in NJ]

My answer is the incarnation of the modern left as you and I know it today is a direct result of the assassination of John F. Kennedy...I was in graduate school during the Cuban missile crisis - I remember a small army of fellow students marching around campus one night corralling everyone they could find to sign a petition supporting Kennedy in his stand against the Russians even if it meant out and out war - a few years later these same people likely would have been peddling petitions to get us out of Vietnam - under the young, wonderful, appealing Kennedy lib types were ready and willing to "go anywhere, pay any price" in the pursuit of liberty, or whatever it was - but once he was assassinated, Vietnam became the war of that ugly old, uncouth and certainly not cool Johnson and it was all downhill ever since - libs are perpetual ninth graders, looking to be entertained, amused, and awed instead of governed.....

The book Rush cites was featured in the following FR thread yesterday:

America is due for a revolution

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Maria Svart,
isn’t very smart.
While Leftists take her every word to heart,
Her sounds are just farts from a marxist turd.

[wardaddy]

I listened on live ditto cam
Rush was good on this

[Clay Moore]

The Lapruder film makes it look a lot farther than it actually is.

If you go to the 6th Floor Exhibit, you can stand in a window right next to where LHO was. (Where he was is walled off with glass and has boxes like it was that day) The shot was going straight away (like shooting Trap)

I have no doubt LHO was taking shots at him that day. My only question is if he was alone.

It gets lost in the event that SS broke up a plot to kill him in Houston the day before and he only had to come to the south because his unpopularity was jeopardizing his re-election

.. the major news networks flooded the airwaves with their mantra, including how capitalism is evil and the government in general is efficient and benefits the common man. And they just repeat it over and over again, ignoring facts, and it really is true that it has an impact on how people engage in politics ...

When Oswald lived in Minsk he was expected to actually work for a living. That turned him off from the USSR in addition to the chronic shortages of almost every type of consumer goods. The USSR’s operatives could see that Oswald was an ingrate, a brat, and an unguided missile.

Of course even Oswald could make those shots at those easy distances of less than 75 yards.

So the Left had the problem that a Leftist zip wad killed Kennedy so the Left created these idiotic theories that now half of FR suckles from.

[LongWayHome]

Look at the prayerman evidence by Sean Murphy & Stan Dane....mind blowing. They are not talking about Lovelady standing in the doorway, we know he was there, but Oswald standing way in the back...new, cleaned up pictures look just like him. Google prayman JFK images. It’s not just the picture, Murphy has done some new, and troubling research that places Oswald near the front door on the first floor. during the shooting. I’m no conspiracy person, but this new research is impressive.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I heard this segment in snippets today, I had to leave in the middle and was pretty distracted.

This was as wrong as I have ever heard Rush. I couldn’t find myself agreeing with his (or the author’s) thesis, or logic, or mindset.

[dragnet2]

Rush has a point.

“Sympathy For The Devil” comes to my mind. A great Stones song and put out just a few years after the assassination.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

However I do believe there is a possibility there was more to this assassination than simply Oswald being the, “Lone assassin”.

The downfall of Joe McCarthy gave rise to the Communist movement in the 1960s in America on campuses and elsewhere. Openly flying the North Vietnamese flag in a time of war, waving and quoting Mao’s Little Red Book, quoting Che Guevara, etc.

It didn’t CREATE the Communist movement of the 60s, but without backlash, it took over America’s institutions.

Corporations, churches, academia, and the media are now overrun with Marxist claptrap.

The House Committee on Un-American Activities did not begin with McCarthy (it dated back to the 1930s) and it did not end with his downfall, but it took the winds out of the sails.

In 1968 the “New Democrats” rioted outside and inside the DNC convention in Chicago. Today they form the leadership of the Party and the media and academia.

Bill Ayers ceased to be controversial.

Black Lives Matter is just more SDS/WU “Days of rage”.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember those days and the madness that followed the murder of Robert Kennedy by a Palestinian immigrant in 1968. America has NEVER been the same since!

[Inyo-Mono]

Bookmarked.

And another thing that they've done is they've flooded the airwaves with their mantra, including how socialism is evil and the government in general is evil and inefficient. And they just repeat it over and over again, ignoring facts, and it really is true that it has an impact on how people engage in politics.

LBJ essentially blamed the Kennedy assassination on racism and bigotry and who knows what else, and used the Kennedy assassination as the heartstring tug to pass the Civil Rights Act. Nobody tells you that JFK opposed it as was written at the time. JFK was opposed to the Civil Rights Act. LBJ, after his assassination, turns around and says, "We must do it this for Jack!

Barack Obama did the same thing with Obamacare, he asked that Congress pass it in Ted Kennedy's memory.

[norton]

Nothing will ever convince me that JFK was killed by anyone other than an agent of the left/progressive faction of the democrat party!

If Oswald was the means, or part of the means, so be it.
(But I've also reviewed tapes of the coverage and can aver that those on site ran toward the Grassy Knoll...and that the best surplus Carcano carbine is close to junk.)

Rush is part right when he says the democrat party changed in November 1963. Kennedy was a carry over liberal who would probably have been a Republican today, he reversed Eisenhower's cautious actions in Indo China (kicking off the escalation later blamed on Johnson) and his fiscal policies were conservative enough to be anathema to today's "progressive" economists...And with his death the dem party clearly changed course.

Pretty convenient

Meanwhile, Academia and the media proclaimed a new myth of Camelot and what might have been...based on things that never were.

LBJ was kind of a composite, still a hawk but wedded to big government "war" on perceived social issues...he was crushed by the same party that elected him.

Since LBJ's crash, and since Nixon's assisted political suicide, the dems have given up any suggestion of bipartisanship and/or concern for the nation...and now we have Obama and every indication that it can & will get worse.

[Impy]

Who gained from his death, who ducked and wasn't hurt.

Haha.
