Its finally coming out after fifty years of leftist & Democrat (is there a difference these days?) muddying of the waters: Lee Harvey Oswald acted ALONE when he assassinated President Kennedy. The truth was as Jackie Kennedy said at the time (paraphrasing): ... the tragedy was that he wasnt killed over civil rights or some other noble issue, but murdered by some dirty little communist. --------------------------------------------- LOOKING BACK There is no doubt at this late date that Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy and that he almost certainly acted alone. Nor should there be much doubt that his motives were linked to his Communist ideology, and in particular to his wish to protect the Castro regime in Cuba from the Kennedy administrations efforts to topple it. The evidence condemning Oswald is every bit as strong as that which condemned John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Lincoln. Shortly after his arrest, the press began listing Oswalds extensive Communist associations and activities, including his defection to the Soviet Union in 1959, continuing membership in left-wing organizations after his return in 1962, establishment of a pro-Castro front group in New Orleans in 1963, and trip to Mexico City in September 1963 to visit the Cuban and Soviet embassies as part of an effort to travel to Cuba. It soon became known that the previous April, Oswald had taken a shot at General Edwin Walker, a spokesman for right-wing causes in Dallas. Notwithstanding these known facts, liberal leaders sought to cast a different interpretation over the assassination. Earl Warren, chief justice of the United States, said on the evening of the assassination, A great and good president has suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots. This was a theme that Warren repeated two days later in a eulogy for President Kennedy given at the Capitol at the invitation of Mrs. Kennedy, who had made clear in personal remarks that she wanted her husband remembered as a martyr for civil rights, not a victim of the Cold War. Warren further implied that the climate of opinion in Dallas had contributed to the assassination, another popular theme (outside of Texas). On the same occasion, Senator Mike Mansfield, majority leader of the Senate, compared Kennedy to Jesus Christ and hoped that his death would bring to an end the bigotry, the hatred, prejudice, and the arrogance which converged in that moment of horror to strike him down. —James Piereson, Willful Misunderstanding, from our November 23, 2009, issue.
