I have been reading the replies since I posted on this thread (although, curiously, my own post seems not to be here, and neither is the one I wrote on the Fetzer thread). Nothing that Cinque or his opponents have said since then has changed my initial observation that he is being attacked, irrationally in my view.
Seamus, you really need to count to 100 before you hit "enter." You blatantly challenged Cinque to a physical fight. Is that the kind of forum you want here? Is that the kind of philosophy you espouse? I thought that civilized people everywhere had discarded the "might is right" credo a long time ago. If you have kids, is this what you teach them? That if you disagree with somebody, and can beat them up, that makes you right? Even someone who thought Cinque's views to be completely ridiculous, and that you were absolutely correct about everything, would have to give pause after that.
I take a back seat to no one in my hard core political beliefs, and most people would describe me as an "extremist." I believe we are ruled by hopelessly corrupt, evil plutocrats, and their mess is managed by largely incompetent stooges, who are often chosen because they have embarrassing aspects to their personal lives that can be subject to blackmail. I don't trust those who run our institutions, and I suspect most every significant political event is a conspiracy. Don't confuse civility with weakness. Just because I make my arguments without resorting to personal snipes or name calling doesn't make them any less effective.
I think Cinque has made a pretty strong case that the figure in the doorway is Oswald. But then again, I didn't need him to do that- I've always thought it was probably Oswald. As noted before, there is no logical reason for CTers to declare that the figure is Lovelady, as if anyone has ever proven that. They haven't. I would urge all of you to go back to Weisberg- I think he covered this extensively in "Whitewash II," and study what he had to say. Then try and find any researcher who has effectively countered his arguments. I'm not 100% sure that the figure is Oswald, and the case for conspiracy doesn't hinge upon it either way, but if it can be demonstrated that it is Oswald, then obviously that is a vitally important piece of evidence.
