Gays Killed JFK?

Did Garrison tell the truth about anything?

I can only go by what my home folks that lived their whole lives in NOLA say, and that is that Garrison was a poor DA and a full time fool - and that's completely seperate from any JFK conspiracy nonsense.

I'm sure everybody has heard the old saying that a DA can get a grand jury to return an indictment on a ham sandwich?

The joke I've heard said about Garrison is that he'd try to indict a ham sandwich, fail, eat the sandwich and then wonder where it went to.

One of my favorite quotes about Garrison comes from Harold Weisberg, the cantankerous founding father of Kennedy assassination research, who worked with Garrison for a while before realizing that Big Jim was just basically full of you-know-what. When Weisberg learned that Oliver Stone was making Garrison the hero of "JFK," he fired off a letter to Stone that contained this immortal line:

"You have every right to play Mack Sennett in a Keystone Kops 'Pink Panther,' but as an investigator, Jim Garrison could not find a pubic hair in a whorehouse at rush hour."

What Garrison did to try to destroy people who got in his way was anything but a joke, though. Another quote about Big Jim comes from an attorney who'd once worked for him as an assistant DA, prior to the JFK probe. Milton Brener wrote one of the most thorough analyses of Garrison's witch-hunt, "The Garrison Case: A Study in the Abuse of Power." Discussing some of the bold claims Garrison made early in his investigation -- like having solved the assassination and possessing proof beyond any doubt -- Brener writes:

"'Certainly,' said many in New Orleans, 'Garrison must have something.' A man in his position would be stupid, indeed, to make such statements without some solid evidence -- and Garrison was certainly not stupid. Overlooked by many who so reasoned was the clear possibility that the man was stark, raving mad."
