Media Matters’ Lie of the Day: “Right-Wingers” Killed Kennedy — and They’re Back
News Real ^ | 2009 September 19 | Kathy Shaidle

Posted on 09/23/2009 10:14:19 PM PDT by Anti-Bubba182

.......Last night I stumbled upon a post at Media Matters — or, as I like to call it, the George Soros Steno Pool. Media Matters is a leftwing “media watchdog” that monitors conservative talk radio and FOX News, then refutes their daily “lies.”

So Media Matters is supposed to be all about facts and truth and “telling the whole story.” Got it.

Apparently, though, telling the whole story about, say, the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas in 1963 means leaving out one itty bitty detail that doesn’t fit the doctrinaire Media Matters narrative: the name and political affiliation of JFK’s assassin.

In a typo-riddled post entitled “A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this,” Eric Boehlert bemoans the “increasingly violent rhetorical attacks on Obama,” and the “unvarnished hate and name-calling [sic] passed for health care ‘debate’ this summer.”

Boehlert writes:

This is either jaw dropping ignorance or gigantic chutzpah! Lee Harvey Oswald was a major leftist and that is common knowledge.

Lee Harvey Oswald

"Right-Wingers" don't defect to the Soviet Union.

When I see garbage like this coming from “Media Matters”, I know that Daddy Warbucks Soros is starting to panic. This is a good sign.

Democrats are attempting to conquer the country with an anti-Constitutional ideology. They will give lip service to observing the niceties of the legal system until they are fully in power. Anyone who is half awake sees what they are doing. Their allegiance is to party first, country last.

Media Matters prints about anything negative on the right. They have to be working on the volume theory. Fling enough scat and damage will be done.

You’re right but we’re dealing with morons here whose knowledge of the Kennedy assassination comes from goofy Ollie Stoned movies and a bunch of moronic Marxist “perfessers.” Those of us who were alive at the time know the truth.

“Right-Wingers” don’t defect to the Soviet Union. ........................ Nor do they promote “fair play” relations with Castro’s regime.

What about the attempts on Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan? Where those amateur assassins Right Wing fanatics? Amazing how short memories are on some people, especially former CAPOS. He knows the truth, and he knows from experience that a big lie told enough times will be accepted as the truth.

Yeah, old Lee Harvey was to the left of the Rosenbergs. Next thing you know Media Matters will say that the Rosenbergs were hired by George Bush.

This is all about demonizing conservatives so that if God forbid the President is attacked they will swing into full mode on clamping down on their opponents. What ignorance they have because even if one believes Oswald was a “patsy” used by insiders: JFK was still not killed by Right Wingers. This is what happens when partisan hacks control the dialectic.

I thought Oswald, a confirmed communist, killed JFK.

BHO has more in common politically with LHO than he does JFK.

Point often neglected - when LHO tried to killing the “right-wing” Gen. Walker, he ditched the manlicher-carcano nearby. Had his plot against Walker been successful, he would’ve never had the gun he used on 11/22/63 and probably would’ve been on the run or in jail.

“A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this,”

A lot of people are talking about "violence" and "a president being killed," has anyone noticed?

It's like they sense it or fear it or both...I wonder what this all adds up to. I mean, I think I know what it's going to all add up to...

Doesn't everyone?

And what is WORSE....is that the Nazi’s KNOW that they do not have much time left, before the next election. Next year—they will likely loose the strength they have now. SO...they have to "act" quickly", to create a "Crisis" that those "evil white men caused"... and the American Pravda will do the rest for them.

As someone else said...”get ready for the BIG one”!!

Lot of paranoid whackos on Media Matters who want to use any excuse to shut down all dissent with Zero’s disastrous policies.

what are your thoughts on the supposed second rifle found on the 6th floor by deputies boone and weitzman on the afternoon of 11/22/63? the mauser rifle they found and identified? kind of an interseting take if it is true. I’m not sure myself but I have not studied the event to much.

Yes, agreed. Pelosi, Boehlert and others are deliberately creating a frame for the assassination of Obama.

They need to be investigated by the Secret Service right away: they are accessories before the fact.

Conservatives want Obama to live for ever, hopefully in jail. The Left (however) will soon want to 'convert' Obama from a rotting political liability into a martyr.

Incredible; and from the people who know if you repeat a lie often enough; or just 'repeat idea often'. . .it will take root. Seems they cannot get enough assasin messages out there fast enough. Yes, trying times; when you need a really big crisis. They want so badly to just shut down all voices/minds/ from the Right. What better way? We have already been idicted.

Also a warning here. These Lefties will come up with a happening on their own; and we will have already been indicted. While their MO is transparent; their campaign is a determined stealth jihad.

That Oswald was a Marine is proof enough that he was a right-winger. Marines kill lots of leftists and totalitarians and are now engaged in the ongoing killing of the left’s favorite ally - muslim terrorists. That fact is sufficient to earn the unending vile and hatred of American leftists.

I think it is ignorance. It is so easily refuted that it can’t be an attempt at misinformation. It shows how utterly fogged up the brains are of these rabid Commies. It was one of their own, a fellow Commie, who killed Kennedy. History books like to gloss this over. When the assassination occurred, the news media were first saying that Lee Harvey Oswald was a segregationist. “The South” was being blamed for Kennedy’s death. Nothing has changed. The fevered Commie media is always hiding the truth about their own evil, wicked, vile, disgusting ways.

This is a common misconception. There was no second rifle found in the TSB on 11/22/63. Oswald’s manlicher-carcano was the Italian version of the German mauser rifle and is often confused with it. When the deputies found the rifle, it would have been more accurate if they had said ‘mauser-type’ rifle or said they indicated they meant ‘mauser’ is a generic sense, like saying Coke, but meaning cola in general.

If you are interested, the two books that definitively resolve this case are “Case Closed” by Gerald Posner and “Reclaiming History” by Vincent Bugliosi. The Posner book is much shorter while the Bugliosi book is more for the hard-core student of the assassination.

I'll be honest with you. That sounds like a flaming rant. And like all flaming rants, it has an element of logic to it.

Only these days, who am I to say it's not plausible.

sounds good, I’ll have to pick up those two books tomorrow and read up. I followed the story as it happened for a few years, read everything (well, what was out anyway, not much really, or at least that I found anyway) but then the entire event kinda faded from my interest. thanks for the book suggestions.
