Have you heard Robert Kennedy, Jr. speak? This cat is on a mission. He takes no prisoners. He talks about “the system” as though it killed his dad and uncle.
RFK Jr. announced he is running for president. As of April 19, 2023, he had snagged 14% of Biden’s voters just by declaring his candidacy. Then he began to talk. Now, ten days later, RealClearPolitics currently has RFK Jr. at 20%. Not too shabby.
FACT-O-RAMA! The name “Kennedy” is still considered to be American royalty by people 55 years and older, and those people tend to vote.
RFK Jr. is saying a lot of things I wish more Republicans would say.

Good article, except for one point. Lee Harvey Oswald was NOT a sharpshooter. Not even close. He had help, if indeed he pulled the trigger at all.

#1- Lee Oswald qualified as a sharpshooter in the Marines in 1956.
Plus the shot was around 90 yds with a rifle with a scope it was an easy shot.

RFK Jr. has always been a nut. He's no friend to conservatives.

Regarding the late JFK, I've seen comments over the years that in our present era he would likely be a Republican. Much like Ronald Reagan stated that he didn't leave the Democrat Party, the Party left him. The same could conceivably apply to JFK in our present times - his brand of politics wouldn't fit in. RFK, Jr may well evoke a similar response from the thinking voters.

No, I have had more than enough Kennedys to last a lifetime.

Re #2, actually the shot was only 60 yards, rested on a windowsill, car moving directly away and slightly downhill. Very easy shot for any Marine rifleman. The gun fired nickle size groups at that range with that ammo when tested.

#1 is incorrect. Oswald was a U.S. Marine sharpshooter. The targets with which he scored his rating have been shown to the public. The shot on JFK was extremely easy: 80-85 yards with a 4X scope. Simple.

I wonder how the question was worded.
19 - 20% is a pretty low bar IF the choice was Kennedy Jr. or The HairSniffer.

#2 Yes, Oswald was two points above the minimum to qualify as a sharpshooter In December, 1956. But now the rest of the story. In May 1959, Oswald was only one point above the minimum to qualify as a marksman, the level below sharpshooter. He was certainly not an expert, not even close.
In fact, let’s get the opinions of Marines who actually knew Oswald. Former Marine Nelson Delgado said Oswald was “a pretty big joke” because he got a lot of complete misses. Marine Sherman Cooley said, “If I had to pick one man in the entire United States to shoot me, I’d pick Oswald. I saw the man shoot. There’s no way he could have ever learned to shoot well enough to do what they accused him of doing in Dallas.”
Couple that with the FBI firearms specialist testimony that Oswald’s rifle was unreliable and inaccurate, and it’s not such an easy shot any more, and certainly not for Oswald’s skill level. When Oswald qualified in the Marines, I doubt it was with a cheap, defective, mail-order, bolt action rifle.

#6 Very easy shot? Really? Not so even with your invented-from-thin-air distance. And yet, Oswald was posthumously accused of shooting at General Edwin Walker from about half that distance, and missed. Unlike JFK, Walker was a stationary target with both parties at ground level, a much easier shot, correct? Another false accusation by the authorities maybe?
Back on topic. If JFK was such a very easy shot, please reconcile the following quotes.
Here is what legendary sniper Carlos Hathcock said on the subject in 1993: "Let me tell you what we did at Quantico. We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times we tried it, but we couldn't duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did."
And your quote on a previous thread: “I have owned several of these rifles since the middle sixties and have duplicated the speed and accuracy of the shots many times, as has my brother.”

Until recently I believed LHO killed JFK. However, having seen the depths of corruption that exists in our government, I wouldn't put anything past the Deep State.
Add in the fact the Kennedy wanted to abolish the CIA and it all makes sense.

RFJ Jr would probably be worse than Biden. No thanks.
The only reason the people that installed Biden don't dump him in favor of someone else is because it would be an admission they made a mistake installing him in the first place.

Check again, #8. I agree totally, except the shot distance was less.

What is stated by #17 is not correct. I have several books about the JFK assassination, and all are in agreement about the distance of the three shots: 240 to 255 feet, as the dark blue convertible Lincoln moved away slowly, quartering slightly to the right. Oswald's three shots, which benefited from the window sill benchrest, have been "replicated" by various shooters with identical Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5 Italian bolt action rifles at 80-85 yards, the equivalent of about 20 yards with the scope. No matter how cheap these rifles were, all they needed was a straight barrel and properly aligned sights to work effectively. All Marines who have been through basic training are competent, or better than competent, on rifles.
I have read nearly everything available on Gunny Carlos N. Hathcock, II, and I've never seen that quote, which would be self evidently wrong because Hathcock knew better. The Soviets had primitive equipment in World War II with which to repel the Nazis, but they used it effectively against the invaders. Even Soviet women became ace snipers. And most of them had nothing more than iron sights. Oswald had a scope. And the barrel of his gun was straight. As a Marine, he would have known how to zero his weapon. Hathcock, who knew everything about sniping, would never have said anything that far off base. I don't believe that quotation.

You don't have to be a sharpshooter to hit a human target at that distance, even with iron sights, but you should have a death wish if he is guarded by the SS. I could call on many Pennsylvania deer as expert witnesses but unfortunately they are all dead. The Kennedys may have held the illusion of royalty for a while but Fat Teddy nullified all of that. Now they are just another big family whose fortune was made in not exactly honest ways.

Not to be confusing, the "that quote" I was referring to was #13's. I can't believe that Carlos Hathcock, who died in 1999, would ever have said that, unless that quote was fabricated by JFK conspiracy theorists. Two of my sources were Vincent Bugliosi's Four Days in November and Gerald Posner's Cased Closed, which are meticulously researched, and dispositive.
