The phone company did it.

I too have been there and I have fired a rifle...several hundred times. It was an easy shot with iron sights.

MasonL87: Subby: .....c) the Masons......

I had nothing to do with it you can't prove anything!!!

it must've been the scientogists.... Dianetics and all that stuff... ooooh... I KNOW it wasn't the MASONS... it was the MORMONS!!!!

It was Israel because JFK did not want them to have the bomb. The US government will never disclose this because it is run by Israel.

How could anyone believe that Kennedy was actually shot? It was obviously a linear shaped charge!!

wanted for questioning...

Random Reality Check

I would like to point out that there is nothing funny about...

My good man, there is something funny about everything.

Think of JFK was dressed up as a clown and it gets even funnier.

Noam Chimpsky: That was the day that the Democrat Party became the "Party of Oswald". They have totally adopted Oswald's world view.

Humor us with an explanation, please?

LOL@Santaman. you beat me to the punch.

anyways, he was also set to scale-down the # of troops in 'nam.

It was the butler... with the candlestick... in the library.

Never underestimate the ability of a determined Marine with a rifle. Even a crazy one.

That's probably true, but as a trained (former) scout/sniper for the Corp, it's always struck me as strange that he took the harder shot (moving away and downhill) instead of the point blank shot when the car made that turn onto Houston Street. Just a few months
earlier he had a shot at some General sitting still, framed in a window, and he missed. So on Nov. 22 he had a, no pun intended, head-on shot. The target was coming straight at him, and when the car turned onto Elm, Kennedy was only about 65 or 70 feet away. Hell, he could have thrown the damn rifle like a spear and killed him. But he let him make that turn for the harded shot. Of course,
he could have got in a bunch of pratice in between, but that choice
of shots has always bothered me about Oswald being the shooter.

Random Reality Check: I was in second grade and remember the tragedy quite clearly.

I would like to point out that there is nothing funny about the assassination of the President of the United States, not even if it is a man you think you have political disagreements with.

This was a war veteran, loved by people the world over, commanded respect, had a sense of humor and tried to do what he believed was the right thing for this country.

We should be lucky to do as well with any candidate in this election.

And who won a Pulitzer Prize for a book that he more or less didn't write (Profiles in Courage), nailed a LOT of women while in office, and required an entire pharmacy to get through his day. Of course, he's still a lot better than most other Presidents.

Who shot J.R.?

Because he needed something to fill a small gap in a song he was writing.


U2, Syngman Rhee, payola and hmm hmm hmm
Chubby Checker, "Psycho", Belgians in the Congo

heard it was male models

McManus_brothers: And who won a Pulitzer Prize for a book that he more or less didn't write (Profiles in Courage), nailed a LOT of women while in office, and required an entire pharmacy to get through his day.

you say all that as if he did something illegal like tape everyone's phone conversations or check everyone's e-mail...

What does the Briefing Officer for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time think about all this, I wonder? (new window)

Drawist: you say all that as if he did something illegal like tape everyone's phone conversations or check everyone's e-mail...

You were saying?

McManus_brothers: nailed a LOT of women while in office

if a man can't nail a lot of women while he's the leader of a farking free world, i don't want him holding that power. he clearly does not know how to wield it.

This model shows it was the Book Depository's fault.

Prior to having political aspirations JFK was an amateur athlete.
He held a golden gloves title during his military days.
He once said that his desire to become a professional boxer was held back only by the fact he knew he couldn't take a shot to the head.

/yes, I know

shanrick: It was Keith Hernandez.

no no no... it was the pitcher... whats-his-name... hiding behind the bushes...

/can you help me move?
//give me a lift to the airport?

As far as I'm concerned, the city of Dallas killed that man.

+1. We would be far better off if Dallas was turned into a glass parking lot.

Who didn't shoot Kennedy? That's the real tough question.

Except you forget that on Fark, the answer is always C), so you are officially busted.

Everyone knows E. Howard Hunt was commissioned by LBJ to run the whole thing

It was Oswald. Alone.

The cover-up was due to the fear that the Soviets had ordered it done. One that some of the Soviets shared. Shortly afterward, quietly, relatively, Breshnev and Kosygin replaced Khrushchev. A Soviet ordered assassination would be too reckless to be approved.

This is my theory. It is mine.

I disagree. McKinley's assassination was hilarious!

What about attempted assinations of former presidents? Like the time when some guy fired off two shots at Andrew Jackson point blank and missed then proceded to get the shiat beat out him courtesy of Mr. Jackson cane?

The bad news is, everyone who shows up for Thanksgiving today at the Oliver Stone house has to listen to his theories and watch his movie for the millionth time ...

L33t Squirrel: It was Col Mustard, with the sniper rifle, on the grassy knoll.

Where can I buy your version of Clue?

"Back... and to the left. BACK... and to the LEFT."

I think the most fascinating thing about the Kennedy Assassination is that two other important people in modern history also died that day. (as in that exact day, nov 22 1963)

C.S. Lewis and Aldus Huxley

Lewis was arguably the greatest apologist for the Christian faith in the last 500 years, with works like Mere Christianity, The Great Divorce, and The Screwtape Letters, redefining the tenants of what Christ taught back to its original meaning, and providing a logical foundation for belief in God. (for those who scoff, please take the time to at least read the first section of Mere Christianity. Lewis defines there the message that changed the mind of Francis Collins, founder and head of the Human Genome Project, that a belief in logic and science is completely compatible with a belief in God, a Scientific mind would at the very least find his argument interesting if nothing else.)

Huxley was one of the greatest skeptics of the 20th Century. His chief masterpiece, "Brave New World" displayed his fear that mankind was slipping into a place where "Big Brother" was not needed to keep people from learning the truth about the world, and the people in it. The people were to busy seeking pure pleasure in all things to take the time to read or learn, the were, as Neil Postman said "amusing themselves to death". He was about the exact opposite of Lewis, a staunch atheist who believed that man was alone and doomed.

Kennedy, interestingly, was the perfect middle ground. He was a devoted Catholic, but largely one of Ceremony only. He did not really find spirituality a place of real truth.

Interesting the range of people who died on the same day

I already do.

We even have our own little saying, your mother and I. We call it "Wednesday."

I know he got a lot more tail than I do. And he was married.

Real Simple:
Joseph Kennedy required the help of the mob to get JFK into office. In exchange Sam Giancana and others were supposed to get free reign over all things illegal in Chicago Vegas and NYC. John Kennedy however never allowed the freedom they expected. In the end after being screwed over on several deals (Cuba especially) the mob was prosecuted by the Justice Department.
As repayment, the mob decided that they would send a clear message to the Kennedy family and with minor assistance from Kennedy hater LBJ, Kennedy was lured into the crosshairs and killed by a professional hit squad of up to 5 shooters in Dealy Plaza. (Fatal Headshot - Charles Harrleson (RIP))
Yes LHO was there, yes he fired, no he didnt get the head shot and yes he was allowed to be the patsy.
LBJ had everything rushed through, concealed, and covered. For his part he was allowed to make several wonderful land deals (see Houston Space Center - worthless peice of garbage property)
Bobby Kennedy didnt get the message (See Bobby Kennedy and the mob - he KNEW and stated on the day of JFKs death that the mob had performed the hit) and rather than backing off - dug in. For that reason he was taken out in much the same way with Sirhan Sirhan performing as patsy.
Edward Kennedy pissed himself that day and despite the fact that his family wanted him to be president he instead was perfectly happy as drunk (Yes I know but no REAL attempt was ever made to make him president - everything was done half assed - and could he have been a decent president? He's not a decent human being)

Oh Vincent and that other joker with the "Case Closed" - Thats all BULLshiat. Despite what both of them say - there were hundreds of unanswered questions. Its not open and shut and even the House Committee on Assassination in the 7o's said it was a conspiracy!

(Stand in the window on the sixth floor and tell me that Lee Harvey could have done that or that he wouldnt have taken the oncoming headshot rather than the back of the head shot as the car drove away and picked up speed - The man was crazy but not illogical!)

I blame George W. Bush !!!!

He's from TEXAS, people!!!

Also, look at the car carrying LBJ. Lined to the teeth with SS hanging on to the car.
Not one on Kennedy's car.

Why was there thermite residue on the presidential motorcade?

Ooops forgot the Mafia thingy.

If the Mafia can kill a Pope over money, the Mafia can kill a President.

I'm not saying they weren't helping or being helped.

rocinante721: Went I visited Dealy Plaza, I was pretty sure I could have shot Kennedy & I never fired a gun.

Marine, slow-moving target, direct line-of-sight, 3 shots/8 secs. Duh!

Well, you should have been on the Warren Commission, because that was about the extent of the investigation! Congratulations, you're an American Scientist!
