Probably meaningless, but open to discussion.

4. No no - it means Bush killed him! Duh!
Just like he caused Tim Johnson's stroke. And the tsunami.

8. I hope you're not suggesting I implied anything like that.
I was merely sharing a simple fact that the media has thus far left out of his biography.

14. I'm with you NYC Liberal all these liberals do is bitch & moan about Bush
I'm sick of them blaming Bush how about they start blaming the terrorists who attacked our very way life on September 11th or what about Clinton>

Guys like you and me live in the real world unlike these stinky blame Bush, Bush Bashing, anti-war, vegetable eating, equal rights lovin' liberals.

12. Bush probably doesn't even remember Kennedy's assassination
He was 17 at the time so he was probably passed out drunk somewhere.

3. Strongly disagree with that.
MURDER has no statute of limitations. And nobody can say that Kennedy wasn't murdered in Dallas.

If you don't accept the neat and tidy story that the Warren Commission spun, then somebody has been getting away with muder for 43 years and counting. Perhaps they are now dead. But Ford and the others allowed them to get away. So no, it's far more than a "blip" in my book.

5. Well have fun. The truth is buried every year with every political body that dies
If you think that we mere pions are ever going to see much more of that story I think you're mistaken.

10. No, but I don't have to swallow the Warren Commission's garbage.
So you either accept the report (and most people probably don't) or you wonder who really did it. And I blame Ford and all of the others for that doubt.

6. Spector?
I thought Arlen Spector was on the Warren Commission. Or was he just a staffer?
