Ah, the left trying to smear Texas. They miss their Bible Belt voting block. President Carter lost it for them. Wait until they see how much damage Obama causes.
Rand, you are missing the point.
The hostile Rightie culture and all of the Texas Tough Talk created the environment in which Commie Oswald reasoned, “I will show them”, leading him to shoot an anti-Commie President . . . who was the object of so much Right Wing Hate . . . for being a closet Commie.
OK, I snark, but there is the clip of Oswald, seconds before he was done in by Mr. Ruby, and there is a lot of trash-talking defiance in his words.
Do you think we can blame the militant Right Wing of that day, the faction, by the way, that W F Buckley purged from his Conservative Movement, for giving Oswald ideas?
OT:
There’s a video out showing an Obamacare enrollment facilitator willing to divulge people’s personal data to would be progressive operatives. Using private info you put on Obamacare exchanges.
Note that this person holds positions in multiple supposedly different organizations all at once. This phenomenon is known as entryism.
Well, as long as we’re OT… I happened upon this, though I do not expect Rand necessarily to comment on it for obvious reasons. I do not understand how libel law works, but it sure seems difficult to claim injury when others were creating stuff like this long before said injury had taken place.
I heard it was LBJ? Small [entry] neck wound and big [exit] skull blown out wound only works if the bullet was even more magic… able to turn around and come from the front.
Actually a small entry wound at the rear and a large exit wound in front is exactly what you would see if shot from behind.
Right, except the small wound is in the front and the back of the head was blown out.
The thing about conspiracy is that the Secret Service, FBI, ATF, Immigration, Postal Service, Forest Service, and the EPA have every organization and petty “militia” with more than one person in it thoroughly infiltrated with informants.
Oswald had to be a lone nut because people blab. Lone nuts are “off the grid” so to speak, and it is hard to guard against lone nuts because it is just one guy. Any operation with more than one guy has one of the guys talking to the authorities.
The other thing is that those two dudes (OK, OK, two dudes, but it was a kind of Batman and his ambiguous male relationship with young Robin) who were shooting people from the trunk of a car not long after 9-11, those two men weren’t really Al Qaeda but they were Al Qaeda wannabes. Although maybe Al Qaeda encourages free-lance wannabes as they are off the grid. Oswald was a Commie wannabe — neither the Russians nor the Cubans knew what to do with him.
Talking about lone nuts, that Garrison fellow in New Orleans sure came across a strange cast of characters on the fringes of what, anti-Casto operations?
Ignoring or glossing over the very real and very serious poisonous nature of the political/public atmosphere of Dallas in the early 1960s is a mistake. That environment was about as bad as they come. Close to the sort of thing that you see near revolutions.
Ignoring Oswald’s political leanings is just as large a mistake though. It’s important to remember that JFK was killed by a communist. Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evars were killed by Democrats. And RFK was killed by a Palestinian. There’s long been a desire to mold the tumultuous events of the 1960s, especially the violence and prominent assassinations, to a narrative about young turks building a new, better world and being cut down by regressive forces who wished to return to the old, bad status quo. There’s a little bit of truth to that but overall it misses the mark by a lot. It would be closer to the truth to say that the world was changing a great deal and there was a lot of chaos and violence involved in that change, some of which impacted famous people working towards “progressive” change, some of which impacted famous people working in other directions, and some of which impacted ordinary folks who weren’t famous at all.
People remember the killing of Kennedy, but few make note of the assassination of George Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi Party, in 1967. Or of Prime Minister Verwoerd, one of the chief architects of apartheid in South Africa, in 1966.
What if Oswald hadn’t been caught? Would the assumption probably would have been that “right wing elements” killed Kennedy?
Personally, I don’t think the lens of history indicates that.
“One of the Lee Harvey Oswalds, acting alone, shot John Fitzgerald Kennedy.”
–The Book of the Illuminati
I am curious what dn-guy would say.
“I am curious what dn-guy would say.”
Probably: “Bush did it.”
“Who Shot JFK?”
“Lee Harvey Oswald”.
So I guess it has come to this for WaPo and NYT: their hatred of Bush in 2001 caused 9/11.
Oswald may or may not have been a communist, but,
the moment he fired his first bullet the John Birch Society cheered.
