Too bad that Hale Boggs who was on the Warren Commission and wanted to re-open an investigation AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #27

Boggs was the most outspoken critic among the three dissenting members dflprincess Oct 2013 #45

The first odd thing was that the police, FBI, et al immediately knew that (1) Oswald was the shooter AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #50

Another unexplainable thing was why the Secret Service agents were called off Nay Oct 2013 #79

Simple, they weren't called off. BootinUp Oct 2013 #83

It's on video. Last Stand Oct 2013 #169

See post #139 above BootinUp Oct 2013 #188

The puzzled "what the hell" gesture can be seen here: AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #95

Well he was identified as the only employee who his employer was certain wasn't missing. grantcart Oct 2013 #154

Yep, stop looking for anyone else if an employer is reportedly missing one employee. Good call. AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #155

You raised the question "how did the police know it was Oswald so quickly" grantcart Oct 2013 #156

Not true. Anyone can see the questions at #50: "How did they know that he was the only one involved? AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #158

And I am dealing with the first question: grantcart Oct 2013 #159

At #156, you said I "raised the question 'how did the police know it was Oswald so quickly' AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #160

So we are clear on this point: There is absolutely nothing unusual or mysterious grantcart Oct 2013 #161

What we are clear on is that you create strawmen and falsely attribute statements to others. AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #162

I found your post ambiguous and am trying to understand exactly what it is you are alleging. grantcart Oct 2013 #164

Quit with the Sideshow, Bolo Boffin. When it comes to Dallas, CIA calls up its assets in the media. Octafish Oct 2013 #228

Another fine example of the genetic fallacy, Octafish. Bolo Boffin Oct 2013 #231

Jumping to that conclusion would be a logical fallacy. Octafish Oct 2013 #232

Wow, Bolo Boffin. No where do I smear Robert Kennedy. So, there is that. Octafish Oct 2013 #109

That says RFK is an accessory to his brother's murder. It doesn't get more "smear" than that. Bolo Boffin Oct 2013 #110

Not what I wrote, Bolo Boffin. And yet you insist on saying that's what I wrote. Octafish Oct 2013 #116

Why did you post it here, Octafish? Bolo Boffin Oct 2013 #119

More words you made up, Bolo Boffin. Octafish Oct 2013 #127

You really do think Robert Kennedy was an accessory after the fact in his brother's murder. Bolo Boffin Oct 2013 #196

That's a propaganda technique. Octafish Oct 2013 #245

So you do not think RFK was an accessory to his brother's murder? Bolo Boffin Oct 2013 #253
