In reply to the discussion: Whose idea was it to put Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission? Robert Kennedy's. [View all]BlueStreak
(8,377 posts)This directly contradicts the assertion in the OP that RFK supported, believed in, or trusted the Warren Commission.

In fact, There was a huge rift between Johnson and the Kennedys -- the proverbial strange bedfellows. And JFK had fired Dulles.
The article shows several cases where RFK bit his tongue and said the right things in public while privately having the gravest of concerns about who actually murdered his brother. If he said a word of support to LBJ about Dulles, it was only another case of him choosing not to add fuel to an already fiery situation.
it really is getting to the point that I wonder about the motives of all these people who seem to want to shove the fantastic Warren theory down our throats. Either these people are unbelievably naive or else they have an agenda that I, for one, do not welcome here at DU.
Please stop. Two of the Kennedy family were murdered and it wasn't a lone gunman -- oh, sorry -- two lone gunmen. It is a free country. People are free to believe that nonsense if that gets them through the day. However, most Americans understand the world is not as simplistic as the OP and his cohort would have us believe. There are and always have been powerful interests inside and outside of government, and they sometimes do some very ugly things when people like JFK and RFK get in their way. This was obviously one of those times.
