26. You should learn to read more than headlines and perhaps you would not be so easily duped.

A delusional Booth found a couple of drunks...woo big conspiracy. Truman had some pissed off Puerto Ricans after him, so what?

The point of the OP is crazy people do crazy shit for all kinds of crazy reasons and a conspiracy of enormous magnitude is not a necessary condition for crazy shit to happen.

The actual evidence in the JFK murder, which you seem to refuse to discuss, overwhelmingly says LHO acted alone.

The rest of your post is typical CT ad hominem. When cornered and out of evidence, attack the opponent and question their motive.

I guess it you're going to be a CTer, might as well go all in. DanTex Nov 2013 #12

You headlined your OP "a short history of lone nuts". former9thward Nov 2013 #15

And then in the first paragraph I clarified... DanTex Nov 2013 #17

Where did I claim they were all "lone nuts"? DanTex Nov 2013 #23

There are plausible claims that Zangara was a Mafia hitman starroute Nov 2013 #21

Sigh... DanTex Nov 2013 #25

Booth was part of a conspiracy Retrograde Nov 2013 #30

Nominally, yes. DanTex Nov 2013 #34
