(9,314 posts)I am not at all "awfully sensitive" -- I just believe differences can be discussed politely and with civility. Obviously you do not.
I do not "accuse" LBJ of anything. I state it is my opinion and I cite reputable sources.
You do not have access to all of the documents the HSCA has so you cannot say the "phony proof" was discarded. The bit about the recording device on the motorcycle was later retracted by them, but that was not the only reason it believed four shots were fired.
I have read in different places numbers hovering around approximately half of the witnesses interviewed heard shots and saw smoke from that area.
There are many reputable people who have first-hand knowledge of the details of the assassination. McClellan was a partner in the law firm that represented Johnson for decades, for God's sake. I cannot begin to conceive how you would consider a person who served in that capacity as a "money-grubbing CTist." Beyond him, Jacqueline Kennedy authorized her own private investigation through professional French investigators. Bobby Kennedy did not believe the official version - the list goes on and on.
People are entitled to come to their own conclusions on matters such as this and because they do not necessarily comport with your personal viewpoints does not justify your tone and derisive remarks. You just can't bully people into thinking the same way you do.
