Tom,

The point I was making is that Litwin criticizes conspiracy theorists on the left but not exclusively. Trump is certainly not on the left, although you are correct that as a populist some do not consider him on the right either. As for the political aspects of the book, I'll let Fred speak for himself if he so choses.

I see implied in Mr. Litwin's commentary that the leftist /reaction / opposition to the WC Report positioned them
as useful idiots in the Soviet mission to discredit the U.S. and its government institutions, the American way of life.
This distracts from the underlying problem of racial and religious prejudice institutionalized by those in control.
JFK was on the receiving end of it during the campaign.

If Mr. Litwin assumes JFK was ousted he must also assume JFK was in control of the left vs right dynamic.
This is a much more apt assumption to be ascribed to LBJ in 1965 than JFK in 1963. IOW, the Assassination of JFK
did not result in a transfer of power back to right wing conspirators because they had never actually lost control.

Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy: civil rights' wary allies
An old tape recording of Martin Luther King Jr., played in public Monday for the first time, is a reminder that MLK and JFK shared an era and a cause, but were not close allies on civil rights.....

How is this rant any less absurd than what author Litwin is asserting?

...."This whole two-week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit fueled with apparent pent-up anger about President Trump and the 2016 election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside left-wing opposition groups,? Kavanaugh told lawmakers last week. ?This is a circus.?

That is his position as I understand it.

He does not believe he was ousted-at least not by a massive conspiracy

It was reading Paul Hoch's newsletters and reading the HSCA evidence. More about this in my book.

Democrats, historical home of the Klan. Party of the CSA. Quite a bit of favorable revisionism here.

    "The single bullet theory is not a joke. Despite its
     well-known flaws, the Warren Commission/House
     Committee reconstruction may be in better shape
     than any other single detailed reconstruction.
     At least, it has to be taken seriously."

Insulting people who believe Conspiracies is the least effective way to persuade them to change their minds...

So you can't cite specific evidence for your about face?
