Lee Harvey Oswald Was a Commie! Live With It!

Liberal progressive leftist Democrats – I repeat myself – are like active alcoholics: they cannot tell the true from the false.

Kennedy’s body wasn’t cold before ‘commentators’ employed in the lapdog media were pushing this thesis. You live in a bubble and nothing you say has to make much sense. Thomas Sowell has written on the attraction of rococo explanations for straightforward historical events to those engaged in self-aggrandizement; only an unsophisticated person would suppose that the responsible party was the man who pulled the trigger and no one else.

Another vaguely amusing bit of business was here reference to Lyndon Johnson as a ‘native’ son of Dallas. Johnson was from the countryside proximate to Austin. He grew up in that area, got all his schooling in that area, and was elected to Congress from that area. He was a protege of Richard Kleberg (from around Corpus Christi). His wife was from the Texas-Louisiana border area. His consigliere Bobby Baker was from South Carolina. Others in his camarilla included John Connally (from the countryside around San Antonio), Walter Jenkins (Texas-Oklahoma border), Marvin Watson (countryside near Waco), and Jack Valenti (Houston), and Abe Fortas (Memphis and DC), and Bill Moyers (various places in Texas, with some time in Denton and Dallas). Ramsey Clark was from Dallas, but he was on his father’s patronage. The Johnson circle’s prominent members were notable for their lack of connections to Dallas. (Johnson’s rival Pappy O’Daniel was from Fort Worth, however).

” I am certain that there is some psychological explanation for why so many leftists . . . blame “right wing hate” for Kennedy’s assassination, since it certainly has nothing to do with the actual historical record, and exists rather in the realms of paranoia, conspiracy theories and unhinged partisan hatred.”

There is. The desire for Kennedy’s death to mean something Meaningful. Enticing pull-quote (my emphasis):

[W]hen the word spread on November 22 that President Kennedy had been shot, the immediate and understandable reaction was that the assassin must be a right-wing extremist —an anti-Communist, perhaps, or a white supremacist. Such speculation went out immediately over the national airwaves, and it seemed to make perfect sense, echoed by the likes of John Kenneth Galbraith and Chief Justice Earl Warren, who said that Kennedy
had been martyred “as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our
nation by bigots.”
.
It therefore came as a shock when the police announced later the same day that a Communist had been arrested for the murder, and when the television networks began to run tapes taken a few months earlier showing the suspected assassin passing out leaflets in New Orleans in support of Fidel Castro. Nor was Lee Harvey Oswald just any leftist, playing games with radical ideas in order to shock friends and relatives. Instead, he was a dyed-
in-the-wool Communist who had defected to the Soviet Union and married a Russian woman before returning to the U.S. the previous year. One of the first of an evolving breed, Oswald had lately rejected the Soviet Union in favor of third-world dictators like Mao, Ho, and Castro.
.
Informed later that evening of Oswald’s arrest, Mrs. Kennedy lamented bitterly that her husband
had apparently been shot by this warped and misguided Communist. To have been killed by such a person, she felt, would rob his death of all meaning. Far better, she said, if, like Lincoln, he had been martyred for civil rights and racial justice.
