Earlier I wrote that the debate is over. And it is, and that's because
we're not dealing with a rational discussion of fact, we're dealing with
a group of people as dedicated to their belief system as Taliban mullahs
are.
Rational debate requires certain rules chief among them that fact and
volume of fact must be recognized. Simply put, the Lone Nutters
recognize neither. They simply ignore fact no matter the quantity.
This is similar to the Creationist and Evolution "debate." Is it really
a debate? Of course it isn't and we know this because no matter how much
fact evolutionists present, the Creationists will never accept evolution.
And the Lone Nutters will never accept conspiracy.
Bugliosi will never accept conspiracy.
Bugliosi finds the notion of an American coup d'état, too horrible to
contemplate, a notion so aberrant it is, it is all but unpatriotic to
even think of.
The tip off is when you talk to these people you discover there are
other things they don't accept. For example, they don't accept the
notion that the FBI and CIA were corrupt, that J. Edgar Hoover was a
closet transvestite, that the war in Iraq is without merit.
In other words, scratch a Lone Nutter and you'll you get a card-carrying
John Bircher, John Wayne-loving NRA button on lapel, muddy creek
Anabaptist who still thinks the Rosenbergs were as guilty as hell.
