Yep, looks like Red, as always, only has offhand quips about just about any subject there is. Bravely refusing to state any opinions about anything!

My case for what? An offhand quip about Specter's infamous theory?

Why you believe the Single Bullet is "magic." And the SBT is only "infamous" in the imaginations of certain conspiracists (obviously including you).

Wait a minute, is this about Kennedy?

Yes. Arlen Specter was assistant counsel for the Warren Commission.

I know, I just didn't know if Red was part of the Kennedy CT crowd. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Specter's Jewish, so I must be an anti-semite, right Cl1m?

what foolishness.

what foolishness.With most CTists I would not be surprised, in fact I would expect them to not believe Oswald acted alone, but I didn't lump you in that category. But to clear things up.

Do you believe Oswald acted alone in Killing JFK.

Wow. I already told you that comment was tongue-in-cheek. Are you really this petty? Is it a persecution complex? What?

I vaguely remember there being an error in the investigation which lent itself to the magic bullet theory. If one were to utilize the error then yes the bullet would be magic but if the error was corrected then the bullet follows a straight trajectory.

It wasn't a comment and it wasn't tongue in cheek. It was two posts of your so called analysis. The thought of it still gives me a chuckle. What's not so funny is this foolish belief that anyone questioning the official accounts is thought of and called an anti semite. I don't mind telling you again, that strategy is no less bigoted.

Agreed. It's just the same as anyone who doesn't believe in a 9/11 conspiracy is thought of and called a Bush lover and/or paid dis-info agent.

I would agree with that as well.

I was once into the Kennedy conspiracy, i used to listen to a lot of Bill Hicks and it seemed so clear cut when Hicks used to do all the 'back and to the left' stuff. Hicks used to joke that if you 'dabble in a bit of physics' you can see that the bullet had to come from the grassy knoll direction. When i found out that physics actually says that the head would jerk back from where the bullet came from i was pretty shocked. Penn and Teller explain it really well.

In only one of those posts did I "accuse" you of being an anti-semite, and that, for the third time, was tongue-in-cheek. Your claim that it was two posts is either confabulation or deception, and to imply that either one, let alone both, were an analysis of your "anti-semitism" is pure nonsense.

I would so love to see you point out where in that second post I "accuse" you of anti-semitism.

Post 21 is a continuation of 20. You appear to have some reading comprehension difficulties. Which is strange since they're your posts.

The continuation is to support my statement that you will forever be vague and non-committal, not a continuation of my "accusation". I'm not sure how that escaped you. I do find it amusing, though, that you think you understand what I wrote better than I do. That takes a special kind of deluded arrogance, wouldn't you agree?

Anyway, as I said later in that thread, you're proving my hypothesis quite nicely. This thread is another testament to your inability to support yet another one of your claims.

The fact that he's ignored both our questions, may suggest an answer.

I don't like these threads that call out other members specifically to jump to attention and respond. I will give them some leeway if a relevant dioscussion is started, however this can be difficult if the OP gives no information or links at all to what you want to discuss. If you absolutely must call out someone to respond to a question, please make the OP clear and relevant. Why not just start a thread with your questions and any links, without naming people specifically, anyway?

As to this thread, if it does not develop into discussion in the next few posts, it's going to AAH due to the lack of relevant, on-topic CT material, and the bickering.
