The Tea Party Did It

Last Friday (22 November), marked the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination. 

Conspiracy theories abound, 50 years later, all alleging a "vast right-wing conspiracy" (to borrow Hillary Clinton's words during Lewinskigate).  

An editorial in the Washington Post, gets even more specific (and nuttier):  "Proto Tea Partiers" did it. 

That the Tea Party roots go back to Dallas of 1963.

I would love to dismiss this as a crack-pot fringe theory, except that I'm sure there's a debatable number of leftists and/or low-informed that will believe it.
