Take the murders of Goodman/Schwerner/Chaney in Mississippi in 1964 - liberals have no problem accepting a conspiracy of local cops and KKK being responsible for that. Hoover and the FBI were forced by Robert Kennedy and LBJ to actually investigate that one and bribe an informant to tell where the bodies were buried.
But hey, that's Mississippi! We all know what they're like. And Henry Wade and Dallas police may have framed other innocent people, liberals can accept that too, as long as you don't mention Oswald's name. But once the weight of the federal government and the national media got behind the lone-nut story, the JFK official solution would have to be accepted without question.
I can only compare it to the way the Japanese have collective amnesia about the crimes they committed in China, Korea and elsewhere in the 1930s and 1940s. They won't take responsibility for it, won't admit it in their textbooks. It never happened, ok?
