Eh? I think the refusal to go into Vietnam full bore counts for something. If it
wasn't a coup, then it sure as hell is strange that Johnson himself started referring
to the lone asassin theory as correct and final while sitting beside JFK's still warm
body on the plane home! There is also the "deal" with Kruschev not to *directly*
invade Cuba, not something the security establishment wanted or could tolerate.

Slime? Granted. Worse than Johnson? How the heck do you figure that?

False dichoctomy. Just because he wasn't even centre-left doesn't mean he wasn't too
far away from the "radical right" (to use the term of the era) for the boys who fired
the shots. Kennedy was an Imperialist, but he committed the same crime that gets a
lot of otherwise perfectly acceptable scum on the outs with the administrations:
Independence.
