I have my own theory about this. 
About 98% of that 81% has some vague notion that Oswald didn't act alone, gleaned from half-watched cable TV shows, Oliver Stone movies and reading breaking news headlines from the National Enquirer at the checkout stand.
Has anyone ever done a real survey to find out what people really do believe? |
Oliver Stone movies? That 81% figure is from 1965, decades before Stone's movie and a lot of the other crap to which you are referring. What was wrong with the survey? OK, everyone must submit to Ya-ta Boy's survey, just as they must accept his preferred definition of "conspiracy theorist," and not what the words commonly mean in the dictionary. Megalomaniacal much?
And from where do you glean your notions of what happened? So here is yet another chance for you to refuse to answer the question, just what is your notion of what did happen on that fateful day in 1963? I am speaking to Ya-ta Boy here.
It is astounding how many people here are so quick and vehement to knock down another's attempted explanation of the event while never even daring to put forth some reasonable alternative. Apparently they fear they may be the recipient of exactly the same type of nasty crap they have been dishing out. |
The figure actually went to 13% of the people believing the report in later years- - still long before the Oliver Stone movie. It was probably around the time people were dropping like flies down in New Orleans during the Clay Shaw trial a year or so before RFK was killed.
This matter is relevant to this thread because it is almost unbelievable that anyone would defend the Warren Report and its Single Bullet Theory.
This former Senate investigator gives a realistic assessment of the situation.

I answered your question on the other thread (I just love how we have several threads on the same topic so we don't have to keep it all together--it's probably too linear for some.) So before we get to my notions of what happened, let's discuss the scholar's definition of conspiracy theory that was put forward for discussion on page 1 of the other thread. |
