The "smirk"

[Charles Collins]

C’mon Charles. It’s not a corroboration that Benavides said he saw a red car when anybody could have read that and claimed they were there in a red car.

Tatum claimed that he came back and interacted with Markham, Scoggins, and Callaway. Yet none of them mentioned anything about him.

All Myers did was invent a scenario for what Tatum might have been doing on Tenth street when it was not on the way from the jewelry store to the bar, which Tatum didn’t even recall the correct locations of in the first place.

If reciting publicly available details years after the fact is corroboration then you must accept the accounts of Gordon Arnold, Beverly Oliver, and Judyth Vary Baker. Right?

The only reason nutters accept Tatum’s account is because he said it was Oswald. If he said it was someone else they would be falling all over themselves to discredit him, like they do with Clemons.

I understand your skepticism. But if you applied it in an unbiased way, you might ask yourself why would Tatum make this up and then not come forward with it (like the ones in your list above, btw). The HSCA investigation spent considerable time and effort looking for additional witnesses. And they found Tatum, not the other way around.

Cite my initial 'attack'

If there are any spoken words lower than falsely accusing someone as being an apologist for child molesters, lets see them.

You supposedly screenshotted it. Read the damn thing.

You’ve been taking religious swipes at me for months, ever since you discovered TAE. You’ve called me a heathen, and a devil- worshipper, and made false accusations about things I have said there, and falsely claimed that I was “kicked out”. None of which has anything to do with the JFK assassination.

So stop whining and get the halo off your head — it doesn’t suit you.

And yes, it’s no secret that churches, particularly the Catholic Church, enable and cover up child abuse. Maybe your ire should be directed towards them.

I understand your argument, but that’s not evidence that Tatum was actually there.

Yes, it is. It may not be conclusive. But it is evidence nonetheless.

Claims aren’t evidence. Anybody can claim anything they want to.

Claims aren’t evidence. Anybody can claim anything they want to.

A pertinent claim can be used for evidence. If LHO had lived and gone to trial, some of his claims (ones that the prosecution believed that they had adequate evidence to show them as lies) could have been used against him as evidence of guilt.

You still haven't posted my 'initial attack'
Instead you deflect to another grievance
It seems you're the one doing whining here.

And you are no longer with TAE last time I looked.
And point out any misquotes by me
And since when can't I voice my opinion about atheists?
Or joke about them? AtheistTV snickers and puts down callers all the time,
taking advantage of those who aren't particularly well-spoken or all that bright.

Boo-hoo. Too bad not everyone agrees with you, huh?
Same attitude you show here.. that's the connection I made.

You attempted to depict me as an apologist for child molesters.
My ire is directed at you, and for good reason.

Okay Bill and John. I am going to ask politely for you two to take this discussion to another thread. It is irrelevant to this one. Thanks.
