Beyond politics

Daily Kos is a progressive, lefty website where there usually is great agreement of ideas. How interesting to read the dog fights and name-calling over the JFK shows on TV now. The Oswald alone v. conspiracy camps are as emotional as ever.

The first book to read
I am solidly in the conspiracy camp. No rational person who listens to the first doctors who saw Kennedy can deny the fact of entry wounds - which means a second shooter. Personally I doubt if O shot at all but this is debatable, as the medical evidence is not. There were entry wounds and the back of his head was shot off - there's too much evidence, too many witnesses, to deny it. And this leads to frightening probable conjecture (like doctored autopsy photos). But the place to begin is with the medical evidence. (The important book here has been updated and recently republished with the new title JFK Has Been Shot.)

But man, progressives are really going at each other over in leftwing heaven! Fascinating.


PS on Nov 11th ... read the re-release and the original is better. The new version adds other material beyond the doctor's story, some of which is controversial, and in my view this lessens the impact of the medical evidence presented by the doctor. Get the version above if you can. I actually believe most of the theory in the new one but the original focus is a better place to begin because of strong medical evidence, with no room to avoid it.
