Yes, no state is all republican or democrat. To suggest JFK's death has something to do with the fact that some republicans lived in the Dallas area is absurd. JFK won Texas. Oswald was not a republican. He lived in the Dallas area. He was a radical leftist Commie. It's unreal to suggest that republicans somehow were responsible for JFK's death. Don't tell CNN, though, or they may run with it. I don't blame Dems for JFK's assassination simply because the assassin was a left wing nut and lived in a state where Dems were in the majority.
The responsibility belongs solely to Oswald himself.
It's a reminder that, although it's worse now, we've always had people willing to use tragedies for political benefit, to gain an advantage over their opponents using these deaths of people. Maybe they're sincere but it's still
cheap wrong. And yes, sometimes - sometimes - it's fair to make a connection. Sometimes.
We see this with the Garrison followers: Oliver Stone, the risible DiEugenio. They use JFK's death as a political weapon to go after those who opposed the Soviet Union. Stone thinks the Cold War - all of it - was due to US's policies. Moscow had nothing to do with it. And those Cold War militarists killed JFK because he was going to expose their corruption. It's hooey.
Dallas didn't kill JFK. Even Marxism didn't kill JFK. One angry lost guy for whatever reason - there
likely was a political factor involved - killed JFK.
