Salon: "the Warren Commission... was stacked with RFK’s political enemies"

16. And many were not. Which means we have to *look at the hard evidence*.

In this case, there is zero hard evidence of a conspiracy, while there are mountains of evidence (fingerprints, ballistics, witnesses, autopsy, the laws of physics, etc.) that Oswald and Oswald alone shot Kennedy. "Troubling connections" are not evidence.

The fact that you deride the "magic bullet" theory is testament to either your staggering ignorance or your insistence on believing in wild conspiracies far beyond the point where they are conclusively disproven. In fact, part of the reason that it is so clear that conspiracy nuts are in fact nothing more than nuts is their clinging to provably false ideas. It would be one thing if they would say "OK, we get that the forensic evidence proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Oswald was a lone assassin, but there is still a conspiracy because of X". But they don't. They talk about "magic bullets" and the grassy knoll and "back and to the left" and all sorts of such nonsense.

The lone gunman theory of the JFK assassination is backed by evidence, and stands up to scrutiny. The conspiracy theories are neither. It's really not very complicated.
