The RFK theories have even less going for them. The man WAS CAUGHT WITH THE GUN IN HIS HAND, for the love of Christ, and people still can't accept it. The notebooks he kept at home filled with "RFK Must Die" are just the cherry on top.

Poor planning on this Campisi guy's part, then, whoever the hell he is.

Well, not really. The people who just lazily believe there was a conspiracy are lazy and ignorant. People like you, who actively build fairy tales about the mob, are nuts.

Well, I would be lying if I said I respect your opinion. I hold your opinion in contempt. You, and people like you, have been spreading lies for fifty years, and working to absolve a murderer (Oswald) of guilt. And beyond your work on behalf of a murderer, you show contempt for logic, common sense, and evidence. …

"It wasn't planned"? What does that even mean? You are the one saying that Ruby was sent into that police basement. Someone had to order him to do so.

Yes. The nonsense about the "magic bullet" supposedly swerving was based on a drawing that shows Connally sitting directly in front of Kennedy. In fact Connally was sitting on a flip-out "jump seat" that was lower than the back seat and closer to the center of the car.

Then shooting him after he'd been police custody for 48 hours and had been extensively interrogated (and had even spoken to the press!) was poor planning indeed.

"Plainly, the theory goes, Oswald was never supposed to make it to police custody."

Can't you make that theory more exciting? Couldn't Oswald be having an affair with Jackie Kennedy or something?

"We have very different views of the evidence"

Oh goody, more crackpot nonsense from David Talbot.

You are conspiracy nuts. You're just like birthers and truthers. You don't care about evidence, only your stories.

We know the truth. Sorry.

No, this particular conspiracy theory, when you actually examine it, is more absurd than most. There's a mountain of evidence against Oswald. You could build a more convincing conspiracy theory that Thedore Roosevelt had McKinley killed.

One of the more irritating things about the conspiracy theorists is their willingness to slander a dead police officer.

He didn't go to lengths to kill Oswald. He just happened to be downtown, sending a moneygram to one of his strippers. He wandered in the police basement, because that's the kind of thing he did. Ruby is visible in several pictures and films from the Dallas PD that weekend. He saw Oswald and killed him on the spur…

God, you had King's CHILDREN supporting Ray in his later years. I agree. Conspiracy theorists are unbound by fact and evidence; Lee Oswald getting the chair in Texas wouldn't have changed that.

As I noted above Ford's Theatre wouldn't stock O'Reilly's book because of its poor research.

"The Ides" by Stephen Dando Collins. Pretty outstanding.

The good, quiet, hardworking guy who was a racist and anti-Semite, at least.
