“”"Nomenklatura said:

It was liberals, the media and academics who simply could not accept the obvious, and had to spin all sorts of conspiracy theories in order to obfuscate it.”"”

I was in High School at the time, and was in art class when the news of JFK’s assassination came to us. My art teacher — a caricature of the ultra-liberal if ever there was one — said to me “I guess this goes to show you that the Birchers (the John Birch Society) are better shots than the rest of us!”

I never did get his reaction when the lone assassin turned out to be a Cuba-loving defector to the Soviet Union. As for the “Birch Society” remark of his, Oswald’s first, and failed, target was ultra-right wing ret. Gen. Edwin Walker. What deluded buffoons these lefties be.
