obviously Booth was a CIA plant or patsy...i mean its obvious. probably was the second gunman in jfk murder as well...

Lowry altered the date on the document from April 14, 1964, to April 14, 1965 -- the day John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, Ferriero said.

John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln during the Lyndon Johnson administration.

It's a fact, and probably the reason for the 1968 Gun Control Act.

Well at least he doesn’t have the rebels bombing Pearl Harbor. The left wing revisionist history about the Civil War is rampant. My favorite is seeing the post-Reconstruction democrats being renamed “conservatives.”

LOL. What a testament to the state of “journalism” nowadays. Maybe these guys will get a job at the NY Slimes or on PMSNBC.

1964, 1965... I guess it still was his last official act, then.

Mr. Bellesiles had better repent while he can, or he and Saint Raymond will be occupying very different locations in the afterlife.
