This is becoming popular in the media;analyzing the reasons for questioning an opinion rather than the facts and arguments presented by those people whose opinions differ with the government or the media. It is tiresome. Gerald Posner is an example of this line of reasoning, focusing on mentality rather than fact. Those that do not believe JFK was killed by LHO cannot accept that a great man can be killed by a lone gunmen, when in fact the reason why people question it is because the Warren Commission's findings don't make sense.
There was a post on this forum about "State Crimes Against Democracy." The article which was originally published in American Behavioral Scientist states that "State Crimes Against Democracy" should be used in lieu of "conspiracy theory" to describe events like JFK's assassinations because it has become associated with paranoia. This make sense given the commentary in the National Post and elsewhere.
