Arthur, LBJ did have a hand in killing JFK. Just goes to show the truth hurts sometimes. Someone comes out with the truth and everybody goes apey.

And Gordon's hair: Hey, he's an actor. Always looking for more gigs, you know. One never knows when some producer may be watching. I learned that from actor friends.

Other than Oliver Stone's film, there is no evidence that connects LBJ to JFK's death. The idea is really silly on the face of it if you try to rationalize why LBJ would manuever to kill to be president, and then chose not to run for his full second term in 1968. The History Channel needs to stick with facts, not supposition. If you read my posts on Nick's thread on the off topic board, I express my incredulity with the Warren Commission findings, but other than LBJ's criminal actions regarding Vietnam, which are verified by his own White House tapes, these same tapes only tend to obsolve him of any complicity in JFK's death.

P.S. As far as supposition goes, that was about all the combined resources of the Federal Government of the U.S. could get on Al Capone, even though they knew he was involved in rum-running, murder, prostitution, and gambling. They had to settle for bringing him in on tax evasion charges. As for Johnson not talking about his involvement in the asassination of JFK on Whitehouse tapes, in the presence of Bobby Kennedy, who was still around, and many other loyal staffers of the dead President, well, who would?

I agree, the JFK thang will never end if we keep posting it here. Maybe start a thread on a different discussion board...

A. It is absurd to rationalize a VP in on the hit of his president because he lusts for power, but then goes ahead and infuriates the electorate on Vietnam, and then decides that he has had enough power, and will not be the candidate of his party. That does not pass the giggle test. These are the kinds of silly postulates that make valid conspiracy questions on the assassination look tainted by association. The idea that LBJ was involved in JFK's hit is no better than Al Fayed believing his son Dodi and Diane were set up by MI5 rather than concede they were victims of an everyday car accident.
B. Mike can point out all the plausibility he wants to, but it is not for a network calling itself "The History Channel" to engage in random speculation that confuses unsubstantiated gossip for fact. That kind of flotsum is best left to the "E!" channel.
C. Do you not think RFK, still the Attorney General at that time, would not have gone after LBJ with eveything he had if he thought Johnson was involved?

A.Human beings are not rational, by nature.
B.Everything is always on the table in an open murder investigation.
C.RFK was in mourning for his brother, not, generally, a time of clear thought.
