The Strange Anti-Conspiracy Argument about Which View Is Less Troubling

--- Quote from: Michael T. Griffith link=topic=4 I'll736.msg173587#msg173587 date=1768394976 ---It's worth repeating the fact that every opinion survey done on the JFK case in the U.S. and Europe in the last 40 years, including ones done in the last five to 10 years, has found that 2/3 to 3/4 of the respondents have said they believe JFK was killed by a conspiracy and do not believe the assassination was the act of only one man.

What do you expect after sixty-two years of KGB disinformation, including Oliver Stone's self-described mythological ("to counter the myth of the Warren Report") "JFK," which was largely based on Jim Garrison's book, "On the Trail of the Assassins," which in turn was based on a KGB article published in a communist-owned Italian newspaper?

THE conspiracy view?
LOL!
Which one?
--- Quote --- [...] cuts across political party and ideological lines. Quite a few conservatives reject the lone-gunman theory. Henry Hurt, author of one of the best and most sober pro-conspiracy books ever written, Reasonable Doubt, was a staunch conservative. G. Robert Blakey, the HSCA chief counsel, was a conservative professor of law at the University of Notre Dame. Senator Richard Russell, an ardent Southern conservative and a member of the WC, rejected the single-bullet theory and did not believe that only one man was responsible for the assassination. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, a conservative Republican from Florida, has been chairing the Luna Committee hearings on the JFK Records Act and firmly believes JFK was killed by a conspiracy. Many more examples could be cited.

There are gullible people on both sides of the political spectrum, Comrade Griffith.

Oh, so your view is a decidedly minority view because of the KGB! Yeah, okay. Thanks for sharing.

This is juvenile nit-picking. There are plenty of differing versions of the lone-gunman theory (e.g., Jim Moore vs. Gerald Posner, Larry Sturdivan vs. most other lone-gunman theorists, Lattimer vs. most other lone-gunman theorists, the autopsy doctors vs. the HSCA medical panel, etc., etc.). Apparently you could not tell that I was speaking generally. "The conspiracy view" refers to the basic position that JFK's death was not merely the work of one man but involved a number of people.
There are a fair number of people who posit a non-conspiracy view that has Oswald only firing two shots and has a Secret Service agent accidentally firing the head shot.

"Comrade"? No sane person who knows anything about my politics would refer to me in this manner.
Frankly, I'm surprised the moderators allow you to keep spewing your crazy KGB obsessions in this forum to such a degree. You are unserious and immune to persuasion.

And you believe every long-debunked conspiracy theory about the medical evidence...

And, among other items, he keeps repeating the claim that Sirhan *never* admitted to shooting RFK. Even though Sirhan admitted to it in his trial and in multiple interviews.
The idea that Michael Griffith can credibly accuse another person of being closed minded is risible.
