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

There is already a crack team on it... zappaman Nov 2013 #32

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

I'm in that camp as well. n/t Uncle Joe Nov 2013 #51

"Outlawed"? That would never happen. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #14

Not a "forum". A "group". You of all people should know that. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #136

Whatever. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #195

Free advertising is the tradeoff for your hurt feelings after your research is critiqued? Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #198

That's not what's happening. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #211

I think Abe...err...Ace might be a tad confused. zappaman Nov 2013 #214

A majority of Americans believe in angels. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #35

And this is not what I said. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #36

Fringe, no, ignorant and uninformed and akin to religious belief? Yes. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #37

I agree with the faith part. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #40

Not really Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #41

Ah, but the mafia killer did mosey on to DPD HQ JackRiddler Nov 2013 #42

His employee, Jada, said on TV on Sunday 11-24-63 that Ruby didn't like JFK and hated RFK. Zen Democrat Nov 2013 #78

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

You're the Duracell bunny for distractions. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #108

It's funny that the people in this debate who... JackRiddler Nov 2013 #109

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

These poll results are making some people really cranky California_here Nov 2013 #47

Oswald and the CiA are not necessarily separate options. bemildred Nov 2013 #16

However... JackRiddler Nov 2013 #28

Not 100% sure, but I do know more than just Oswald was in on it! B Calm Nov 2013 #17

Other H2O Man Nov 2013 #18

That would obviously be Choice 2. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #30

. Little Star Nov 2013 #31

I voted 3. I think 2 is likely but it might be organized crime instead of military and intelligence JVS Nov 2013 #19

other; we don't know for sure exactly what happened. dionysus Nov 2013 #22

Well... zappaman Nov 2013 #23

JFK was taking on the big banks and the Federal Reserve, woo me with science Nov 2013 #24

I don't think that he was doing that. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #38

The Warren Commission's report was flawed. Vashta Nerada Nov 2013 #33

Thats a lot of what ifs. HooptieWagon Nov 2013 #153

So advocacy of evidence rather than conjecture and suppostion is "bullying"? Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #141

Obviously not, but thanks for stepping forward. DisgustipatedinCA Nov 2013 #144

I'm not sure precisely what you're talking about. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #145

No, bullying is bullying. JackRiddler Nov 2013 #177

Hah. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #224

There's been a conspiracy to suppress evidence, no question. Ace Acme Nov 2013 #151

I think Oswald shot Kennedy but he did not act alone Samantha Nov 2013 #142

Probably Oswald but whether he had co-conspirators or encouragement from someone else JDPriestly Nov 2013 #163

I've always believed that Oswald acted alone AND there was a conspiracy. Xithras Nov 2013 #166

Kind of the opposite... JackRiddler Nov 2013 #176
