Um,,,Saint John Hunt, E. Howard Hunt's son, has gone public with a recording of his father's involvement.

Google it!!!

Surely there aren't many any more who believe the Warren Comission and their one-gunman theory. LEARN some things. Start here with recent revelations:

I don't see a Ron Paul connection to the provided link and haven't heard Ron Paul make any references to the Kennedy Assassination.

I can say that Al Gore believes in Little Green Men from Mars, but that doesn't mean he actually does...

Sounds like some people are trying to marginalize Ron Paul even further by making insinuations. I think he is a distinct enough candidate already with out having to resort to that kind of tactic.

Besides, as said above, it's not like the Kennedy Assassination was an open and shut case, many Americans have their doubts about it.

And so, on cue, the Ron Paul supporters drop in. How interesting...

Thanks for stopping by and giving your views. But I gotta tell you, John A - immediately treating your host as ignorant and then putting a link to Prisonplanet.com is not exactly endearing in a guest. You might think it's the best site since AOL, but to me it looks like a fever swamp of misinformation. Have a nice time wading in it - it's not my thing.

There will always be support, usually quite rabid, for the 'marginal' or controversial candidates. I've seen a quite a lot of Ron Paul spamming over on Digg, and the posts of his supporters don't make me want to even look at the guy's record. Why? Because if they're the sort of folks he attracts, I don't want any part of him and I sure as hell won't vote for him.

Actually, I rather liked the History Channel's view on the Kennedy Assassination going through much in the way of evidence, supposition and speculation. Plus the Warren Commission report. And Jack Ruby. And recent evidence examined to see what light it sheds on things. Plus the guy who claims to have eliminated witnesses. Then there is the Discovery Channel's offerings like unsolved history - JFK conspiracy and the Unsolved history - Death at Dealey plaza and then their review of evidence in Beyond the magic bullet.

Dear, me!

Physicists, chemists, snipers, gun historians, archivists, witnesses to the events, following up on the history involved with the people... Looking at purported theories and evidence and seeing if they form a coherent whole using animation, stop-motion photography, creating 3D computer models with known materials to get analysis of sounds.... why, one could get an education and actually try to examine all of the facts and see how they fit for oneself and where theories stand up or fall down. Why the forensic examinations, gun shot wound analysis, x-ray analysis, and such alone make for compelling historical reconstruction.

For all the people to be involved and to only get *rumors* of a conspiracy and not have any one of these tens if not hundreds of individuals to actually tell it all... not one death bed confession, not one troubled conscience, not one person so paranoid as to sequester information in case of their untimely demise... well, any conspiracy *that* competent should be doing a better job with the rest of things, now, shouldn't they?

Instead I see: troubled individuals, incompetent bureaucrats, politicians performing CYA, poor document keeping by police departments who are not funded well for that, analysis done with the best tools available *then* and then doing the best possible to make something of it in a case where a disaffected societal outcast changed the course of history.

Welcome to America where that, too, is possible given rights and freedom.

I watched the video, did you? Your headline, or at least the headline from LiveLeak, seems very misleading. Ron Paul did NOT say that the Kennedy assassination was carried out by the US government. All he said was that he doesn't automatically trust the government when they conduct an investigation. He mentions the Kennedy investigation as a parenthetical example. I don't see what's wrong with being skeptical of government pronouncements.

There's skepticism, and then there's "Well, the government said it so I'm going to automatically go the other way" paranoia.

Close to 45 years later, using the Kennedy assasination and anti-governmental paranoia to drum up your support base makes me very skeptical of the honesty and integrity of Ron Paul. "Question Authority" is a fine slogan, but you'd damn well better apply it across the board, not just against the 'authority' you don't like.
