Ramon F. Herrera Wrote:There are 4 clearly aligned positions in the case of JFK's murder.
Each group has a well defined motivation.
(1) Liberal Conspiracy Theorists
This group is still grieving by the horrible crime. They feel robbed of a demigod who reached mythic proportions. Their source of frustration is the breach of the trust between the government and The People, an injustice that has been unresolved for too long.
Oliver Stone, John Kerry (best friend of Teddy), all the Kennedys, Obama, Clintons, Gore, Jim DiEugenio, Jeff Morley, Gary Aguilar, Cyril Wecht, Ramon F. Herrera.
(2) Liberal Lone Nutters
These folks are terrified about the real possibility that LBJ had something to do with it:
Chris Mathews, Jimmy Carter, Larry Sabato, Robert Allbritton, who is the Founder of Politico and Member of the Trustees of the LBJ Library, Jean Davison, etc.
I am convinced that Rachel Maddow is a closeted CT (she is too intelligent to be LN) but must follow MSNBC policy.
The position of the right is more interesting. Per their nature, it is rooted on abhorrence. It hinges on what they despise the most. See groups No. 3 and No. 4 below.
Conservative/Republicans:
(3) Conservative Lone Nutters:
They hate the Democratic Party the most. Schadenfreude is a factor:
"It was a freakin' commie!! One of your own!!! Oswald did it to impress Fidel!!"
Prof. John McAdams, Bill O'Reilly, Donald Trump, Steve Logan and most Conservatives
(4) Conservative Conspiracy Theorists
These folks have never met a conspiracy they didn't like. First and foremost, they hate the US government with a blind fury.
.See Birthers, Truthers, InfoWars, Breitbart, etc.
Note: We can include CT Libertarians in Group No. 4. See the reason below:

Well, it's not hard to place Ramon in the political spectrum... he's clearly a lefty.
I challenge him to correctly place me in his list...
It can't be done. I'm to the right of Rush Limbaugh, and laugh at the Moon Landing, 9/11, Birthers, and other wacky conspiracy theories.
Polls would suggest that there are a lot of people similar to me - yet Ramon can't put us into a category.
Clearly, dishonesty isn't limited to the believer's side of the aisle...
