Historian explains the mind of Conspiracy Nuts - CBS 1967

[John Iacoletti]

What about a reasoned response to Mr Galbraith's comment? Like providing "supporting evidence" rather than a rude reply?

Supporting evidence of what? Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. The idea that the various TV specials somehow “support” the conclusion that Oswald did it and acted alone is absurd. At best they supported the notion that it could have happened that way.

Oswald's movements and actions--after the assassination shots were fired from the TSBD--are evidence.

Explain why this piece of evidence is not, in your opinion, evidence:

 -- Lee Harvey Oswald attempted to shoot officer Nick McDonald with his (Oswald's) revolver when about to be arrested.

Iacoletti,

Rhetorical question:  Do you define the term "evidence" narrowly or broadly?

Depends on whether it tends to incriminate Oswald or exonerate him?

Ross,

You need to realize that Iacoletti believes several hundred people participated in the assassination and/or the coverup, and that Officer McDonald was just one of them.

Thomas,

Appreciate your comments. Nothing against John... but it's difficult to understand his stance other than he derives devilish glee from being totally obstinate towards reality.

Ross,

He's a hair-splitter extraordinaire (when it suits his purposes), and an incredibly gullible Oswald defender who believes that hundreds of people were involved in the framing of poor Lee, the assassination itself, and the all-important cover up.

Because claims aren’t evidence. The claim that Oswald attempted to shoot McDonald is nothing but an assumption based on some people hearing a click in the theater during a struggle in which many hands were on a gun. I don’t know how you determine intent from that.

But let’s say that it was irrefutable that Oswald tried to shoot McDonald. That would tell you exactly nothing about who killed Kennedy.
