If you haven't seen this Maddow show about gun control, it's amazing:
But the conspiracy hucksters and hobbyists over at the Education Forum JFK Assassination Debate are mad as hell that Maddow said Oswald shot JFK.

The fundamental tenet of that cult is that the picture featured on their home page of Billy Lovelady on the TSBD steps is really Oswald. Of course that means that Lovelady, who identified himself in that photo, and all the other witnesses who say it's Lovelady are liars.

By their impeccable logic, that means Oswald was a liar, too, since he said he was upstairs when he heard the commotion. Crackpottery poster boy Jim Fetzer, who insists that every photo and movie shot in Dealey Plaza that day has been altered, posits that the reason the photo looks exactly like Lovelady and only vaguely like Oswald is that Lovelady's face was superimposed over Oswald's (!), proving yet again that there is no theory too idiotic for Fetzer.
This is the kind of bullshit we can look forward to, by the truckload, as the 50th anniversary approaches.

I love how Gary Mack is now basically used as an epitaph.
Thrown under the bus just like Gus Russo for actually thinking and modifying their views...

I guess she now joins Gus Russo, Gary Mack, Vincent Bugliosi and Dan Rather on the CT enemy list.
