Valkyrie at Dealey Plaza

[Phil Dagosto]

I object to victim blaming in the case of political assassinations, particularly when the allegations are recycled bullshit from discredited sources that is dredged up and regurgitated by those who have neither the expertise in the case nor the judgement to be able to distinguish fact from fiction.

I have come to think that people should come to a forum and contribute to the debate as a member of a community. Trollish behavior seems to want to poke sharp sticks in members eyes and then insist that they have a right to their own opinion. What's more, this person might well challenge anyone to a debate fair and square. I've seen it happen way too much. Walking in to someone else's home with muddy feet and blaming the poor quality carpet for the stains is a bit much for my taste.

I don't get what you're trying to sat here. That I trolled Lateer?

No! The opposite. You're spot on with your comments. Sorry for the confusion.

As Peter Lemkin said, people have the right to their own opinions, and I would add, as long as they are not spewing Lone Nut theories about JFK. A couple of steps back from this is the notion that JFK deserved what he got and, now, JFK brought it on himself.

The generally accepted assessment of JFK's assassination here DPF is best summed up by James Douglas' JFK and the Unspeakable. I am not a JFK researcher, but I have never seen anything written by the many researchers here who would disagree despite their many disagreements on details. And as you know, some of those debates are very heated. Considering Douglas' recounting of those harrowing days of the Cuban Missile Crisis in which JFK stood nearly alone surrounded by his hawkish advisers, saying he got what he deserved or that he brought it on himself, will not sit well.

No problem - just wanted to clarify.
