The Mafia is not very ideological. former9thward Nov 2013 #92

I disagree. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #116

Well, I'll give you they are pro-capitalist and most of those other things former9thward Nov 2013 #117

"Right-wing" JackRiddler Nov 2013 #118

I equate right wing with a lack of social services combined with an authoritarian governing style. former9thward Nov 2013 #119

Okay, this is semantics. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #123

Just so there is no misunderstanding. former9thward Nov 2013 #124

As you know there is a proliferation of theories. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #21

I don't know who was responsible, Blue_In_AK Nov 2013 #10

Yes, that is how I and most other people I know feel. It's an unsolved murder and hopefully sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #34

No, there are no "videotapes" because the technology didn't exist in 1963. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #81

Commercial videotape technology... JackRiddler Nov 2013 #87

Not "widely available" in 1951. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #88

Widely available at TV stations by 1963, of course. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #90

Sure, there's television footage, but so? Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #100

Ain't it funny how shit happens in this random and chaotic world! Ace Acme Nov 2013 #138

Oh so its a number game. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #46

Not at all. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #49

LHO did it alone based on the known facts. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #53

If this were an election, the anti-WC candidate would be getting a rain of confetti nyquil_man Nov 2013 #65

This isn't an election... JackRiddler Nov 2013 #68

No, this is a poll whose results agree with your biases. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #69

You're completely missing the point. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #140

I saw the point quite clearly, thank you. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #152

You're still missing the point. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #157

Again, so what? nt nyquil_man Nov 2013 #159

So nothing. Miss the point if you want to. I tried. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #162

You should have stopped at "nothing," nyquil_man Nov 2013 #165

I'd guess that they're not getting the case reopened because Ace Acme Nov 2013 #171

You seem so certain of the outcome. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #172

A majority of DUers seem to agree on a theory. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #173

You consider "CIA, etc" a theory? nyquil_man Nov 2013 #174

Read a couple of books and you won't need to ask. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #178

You don't know your own theory? nt nyquil_man Nov 2013 #181

Course not. zappaman Nov 2013 #184

It's all over this thread... JackRiddler Nov 2013 #179

Still not specific. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #180

Why not have an investigation and find out? What a concept, eh? nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #183

Ace Acme disagrees with you, Ace Acme. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #186

That was some fast reading! JackRiddler Nov 2013 #185

And you run right back to attacking the Warren Commission. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #187

No, your game is a diversion. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #192

So you're attacking one theory without providing a better alternative? nyquil_man Nov 2013 #193

You seem to have trouble understanding. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #200

You seem to confuse your beliefs with facts. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #208

You have strange notions of epistemology, nyquil Ace Acme Nov 2013 #203

And you think that any attempt at a new investigation is doomed to failure. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #209

Whenever someone tells me what I think, inevitably they're showing only Ace Acme Nov 2013 #217

What about when they quote you? nyquil_man Nov 2013 #218

When they paraphrase a quote out of context they confuse themselves. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #220

And this is why you don't try? nt nyquil_man Nov 2013 #221

I wouldn't ask my Congress POS for a glass of water if my mustache was on fire. nt Ace Acme Nov 2013 #222

I'm touched that you'd rather waste your time arguing with me. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #223

Well... zappaman Nov 2013 #23
