Deathbed Confession of Howard Hunt Fingers LBJ in JFK Murder

Ever since that late morning is Dealey Plaza Dallas Texas, November 22nd 1963, the soul of America has been tortured by lingering doubts about the official version of the murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The Chief Justice Earl Warren was appointed by Lyndon Baines Johnson to head the official investigation, the Warren Commission. After reviewing all the evidence, the Commission's final report named Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman responsible.

In 1966, the book, Six Seconds in Dallas, raised important questions pointing to evidence which indicated that there was more than one shooter. More than one shooter would indicate a conspiracy, so the next question would be "Who else was involved"...

And it is not even November yet. There are still people alive who could be scrambling on this one.

[Kenton]

Karl Rove was Lyndon Johnson’ puppetmaster? That magnificent bastard!

[Cicero]

LBJ was certainly capable of it. He was an extremely nasty man.

When he got into office he managed to lose the Vietnam War and finish the work FDR started toward bankrupting our economy.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I heard the tape a week ago, it is quite interesting. This could be hugh.

[Rodney King]

A better headline would be Deathbed confession alleged by son who wants to sell a book.

No, it hasn't.

[mission9]

Karl Rove engineered the feint candidacy of Eugene McCarthy, which ousted LBJ, and sent him to exile and early grave on a Texas Ranch. This set the stage for an eventual Bush 41 presidency.

“Saint” must have a pretty good agent, his fairy tale has now shown up in a few places in the press

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Everybody in my sixth grade class knew on November 22, 1963 that LBJ did it.

[eastforker]

Lyndon didn’t do it, it was the other LBJ.

[edcoil]

I was in elementary school when it happened and I remember to this day for some strange reason that I was walking to school with my friend and we were talking about it and we decided that it was Johnson that order him killed.

I have no idea why all these years later I would even remember this but, it must have left a lasting impression on me.

[Lx]

There was a previous thread on this a week or so ago and it had comparison photos of the three tramps to the three supposed killers of which EHH was supposedly one of.

I recall that they have statements from the three real tramps and that's what they really were.

Of course, that's just what they want us to think!

[Loyal Buckeye]

Calling Bob Woodward. Deathbead. Woodward. Story. Book.

[Sawdring]

Anyone ever wonder why Arlen Specter cited Scottish Law during Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the Senate? When you live so long as a guilty man, those with the goods can make you say and do anything they want.

[RightWhale]

I heard the tape on Coast. It did not finger LBJ nor did it finger the CIA.

[jrooney]

"Ever since that late morning is Dealey Plaza Dallas Texas, November 22nd 1963, the soul of America has been tortured by lingering doubts about the official version of the murder of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy."

"No, it hasn't."

LOL. You made me spill my coffee.

[Tribune7]

Barr McClellan, the father of Dubya's former press secretary, said LBJ done it

[okie01]

Odd that the writer would claim there is "evidence" LBJ was behind JFK's assassination, then never identify exactly what that evidence is.

Or, maybe, it's not so odd at all...

[threeleftsmakearight]

Here we go again.
People, Kennedy was killed by a lone nut, Lee Harvey Oswald...end of story.
These conspiracy theories keep arising because Democrats just can’r wrap their minds around the fact that some loser took out their hero.

[unspun]

This could help to explain the mystery of Jack Ruby -- who I believe said in his jail cell, shortly before he died that it goes "right to the top."

[Blogger]

Woodward doesn’t pursue things damaging to democrats

[henkster]

I was 3 years old and I remember thinking Johnson had it done.

OK, so I don’t remember.

If it was a conspiracy, the tracks have all been covered. If it wasn’t, there were no tracks to begin with.

So I don’t really care.

[Oztrich Boy]

A better headline would be Deathbed confession alleged by son who wants to sell a book.

Didn't Woody Harrelson already do this?

[CholeraJoe]

Everyone in my eighth grade science class was certain that the Klan was behind it.

[Beckwith]

I have believed this since the day it happened.

Cui bono?

[mission9]

Are you refering to Arlen’s defense of the “magic bullet” found by the Warren Commission?

[Jane Austen]

I wondered the same thing.

[edcoil]

I don’t lose any sleep over it either for the same reasons except, it would really piss me off at the government that by now, so many would have known and so many did so little.

It would make the last minutes of JFK and Kevin Costner’s closing statements be more true, then fiction.

Shame on you - coming to a Kennedy assassination thread, throwing logic around like that and spoiling everyone's fun.

Wet blanket.

[greyfoxx39]

Seriesly, not if you're counting on the MSM to spread the word. I always thought LBJ was involved, but am not too sure I believe the source, Hunt.

[Sawdring]

Yup! Didn’t he come up with that theory?

[mission9]

Or maybe can’t wrap their minds around the fact that a Democrat did it. Et Tu Brute?

[Sans-Culotte]

It would make the last minutes of JFK and Kevin Costner’s closing statements be more true, then fiction.

Nothing could make remarks like "we must avenge our fallen king!" ring true. That line was really a lapse on Stone's part.

Who said a perpetrator can't be a patsy?

(I don't think it was Jack Ruby.)

[NonValueAdded]

Is that Sonny’s kid?

[Publius6961]

All the incriminating records are kept in area 51...

The truth is in there...

[edcoil]

That was not the only closing statement, he went on for 5 minutes on how the people will have lost the country if they allow this to happen.

[Vigilanteman]

In November 2003, the History Channel ran a week-long special on the JFK assassination. Each night examined the various theories. Most of them were too complicated and cock-eyed to have any credibility. Particularly "the CIA did it" theory. We've all seen how leaky and unreliable that agency is.

Then came the night on the "LBJ had it done" theory. Very simple and straightforward in covering motive, opportunity and execution. Very credible with the small number of people involved as well as their track record in helping LBJ's rise in Texas politics. Particular telling was when they interviewed LBJ's former mistress who once asked him about this theory. She said it was the only time she'd ever seen LBJ get angry at her and warned her in no uncertain terms to ever speak of it again.

[1L]

I disagree that LBJ was in any way capable of it. LBJ was in his element making good-old-boy deals across a table and/or room, but was intimidated as hell by the White House advisors he found when he took office. He deferred to them almost completely on virtually everything since they all had Harvard and Yale degrees, and he figured they were smarter than he was.

A man like that doesn’t cook up a murder scheme.

[AbeKrieger]

Wow, this AND the Great Society? He is responsible for every evil ever perpetrated on the US?

[GodfearingTexan]

im not a quack or a conspiracy theorist, and yet i totally believe this confession (although hunt may not have known the exact details since he was not, according to him, part of it). there are simply too many holes in the official explanation.

[Publius6961]

When he got into office he managed to lose the Vietnam War and finish the work FDR started toward bankrupting our economy.

The war on poverty. No exit strategy.

[newfreep]

Wasn't Hunt one of the 3 "bums" on the grassy knoll as well as Woody harrelson's dad?

I still love the Seinfeld parody with Kramer, Newman and the magic lugee!

[Manfred the Wonder Dawg]

Bush’s fault.

[Eva]

There are still people alive who could be scrambling on this one.

Like Arlen Specter?

[Sans-Culotte]

I was in elementary school when it happened and I remember to this day for some strange reason that I was walking to school with my friend and we were talking about it and we decided that it was Johnson that order him killed.

I was in the first grade when I heard it (it was in the afternoon, and our teacher was so overcome with grief she had to leave early). I don't remember anyone saying Johnson did it other than my dad, who hated both JFK and LBJ. I do remember playing outside with some friends on my 7th birthday when my grandmother ran out to tell me "someone shot the guy who killed the president!" My friends and I said things like "all riiight!". So, in those days, most of us believed Oswald was the guy whodunnit.

I still do.

[Bobkk47]

Read “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner.

Lee H. Oswald was the gunman, the only gunman, who killed Kennedy.

Deal with it.

[tioga]

No, no, no. I was a youngster and I distinctly remember my Republican father saying he believed LBJ could definately “be capable” of having JFK killed. He added - “God help us with LBJ as our president— as if JFK wasn’t inept enough now we have LBJ and he is devious.” And I always listened to my daddy!

[pawdoggie]

I have believed this since the day it happened. Cui bono?

Cui Bono? Lee Harvey Oswald, a n'er do well punk who tried so hard to get America to notice him, and finally succeeded.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

No one counts on the MSM to do anything anymore. :o) I did hear a rumor that Glen Beck was looking at it and working on something. Hunt is a slickmeister but only time will tell.
