In the previous paragraph, Mark Lane showed that what Tomlinson
testified to about the finding of C.E. 399 conflicted with the Warren
Commission's theory.

"The Commission cannot know whence the bullet materialized or if it
had fallen off the Governor's stretcher, for Tomlinson, the only
source of the Commission's information, himself possessed no such
certain knowledge. Moreover, both stretchers were unguarded for a
considerable period of time just before the bullet was discovered, and
there were many unauthorized persons at the hospital on November 22.
Even if the bullet had somehow shaken free from Governor Connally, it
is difficult to imagine how it lodged under the mat unless it was
placed there.

The Commission proved itself capable of surmounting the difficulty
imposed by a lack of evidence. It simply offered a conclusion based on
no evidence at all - and which contradicted the 'best recollection' of
the only known witness to the incident.

'Although Tomlinson was not certain whether the bullet came from the
Connally stretcher of the adjacent one, the Commission has concluded
that the bullet came from the Governor's stretcher.'"

Mark Lane is showing that the Warren Commission never let the evidence
get in the way of their theory.

Neither will Huckster.

Lane failed to mention that Tomlinson testified he wasn't certain which stretcher the found bullet came from.

Lane also failed to mention anything at all about Jane Wester's testimony about what happened to Connally's stretcher after he was removed from it or what was on it. And failed to discuss how her testimony of what was on the stretcher matched with Tomlinson's to a great degree.

Materialized? Have you seen things just "materialize" anywhere? I never have.

> or if it
> had fallen off the Governor's stretcher,

This is where other evidence is important to reaching a correct conclusion. The commission heard testimony that the bullet in evidence - CE399 - had been fired from Oswald's rifle to the exclusion of all other weapons in the world. That narrows down considerably whose stretcher the bullet could have come from.

They also had testimony that could eliminate the President's stretcher as the source (which Mark Lane likewise fails to tell his readers) and they had testimony from Jane Wester that Connally's stretcher was near the elevator from which Tomlinson removed one of the two stretchers in question (Lane failed to mention that too). Same elevator, different floors. They had testimony that explained how Connally's stretcher would wind up on a different floor as well.

He wasn't the only source. Lane is again withholding evidence from his readers.


> Moreover, both stretchers were unguarded for a

It's a hospital! Until COVID, you didn't need authorization to enter a hospital.
Does Mark Lane cite a source for his above claim that "there were many unauthorized persons at the hospital on November 22" or is this just another unproven assertion by him? Does Lane name these many unauthorized persons?


> Even if the bullet had somehow shaken free from Governor Connally, it

We are limited to the scope of Mark Lane's imagination here?

This is the logical fallacy of an argument from incredulity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulity


>

No, the Commission followed the evidence, including that of Jane Wester.
Mark Lane proved himself capable of surmounting the difficulty imposed by that evidence by simply ignoring it.


> It simply offered a conclusion based on
> no evidence at all -

At that's a falsehood by Lane. The testimony of Jane Wester indicated the Connally stretcher was pushed to the same elevator and bore many of the same items Tomlinson saw on the stretcher he took off the elevator.


> and which contradicted the 'best recollection' of
> the only known witness to the incident.

The recollection was uncertain, as the witness himself noted, and Lane failed to mention to his readers.

The evidence shows the Commission reached the appropriate conclusion.

That same evidence reveals Mark Lane never let the evidence get in the way of his arguments.


>

You mean "Neither will Ben. Nor Mark Lane".

Only one of us, like Lane, is ignoring the testimony of Jane Wester completely. Only one of us is trying to defend Mark Lane's deceitful practice of leaving out pertinent information to attempt to paint a dishonest picture of the evidence, and what it indicates.

Nothing Mark Lane "failed" to mention is an issue.

The issue is that you refuse to deal with what Mark Lane *DID* say,
and not what he didn't say.

And you're a proven liar: 'Although Tomlinson was not certain whether
the bullet came from the Connally stretcher of the adjacent one, the
Commission has concluded that the bullet came from the Governor's
stretcher.'"

Sure it is. It's called cherry-picking and it's a logical fallacy.

https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Cherry-Picking

We're not just pointing out your logical fallacies, we're addressing the logical fallacies of Mark Lane.
You invited this examination.

Cherry-picking's Description: "When only select evidence is presented in order to persuade the audience to accept a position, and evidence that would go against the position is withheld. The stronger the withheld evidence, the more fallacious the argument."

And Lane leaving out Wester's testimony and its import qualifies.

Yep, because as noted, Lane leaves out pertinent information. We're assessing whether Rush to Judgment deals with the evidence fairly, and everywhere we look, we find it does not.

Deal with Wester's testimony. Explain what it means. Explain why Mark Lane did not mention it.
Explain why you keep deleting any reference to it.

Already did. You snipped it in its entirety.

Jane Wester's testimony (previously cited and quoted and ignored by you) establishes how Connally's stretcher got to the area of the elevator. Her description of what was on Connally's stretcher matches closely to Tomlinson's. That establishes it was Connally's stretcher that was in that area, not some random stretcher.

(And as an aside, why would a conspirator plant a bullet on a stretcher (as seen in the movie "JFK") on a different floor from where Connally was? Since many conspiracy theorists argue for that, it's incumbent on them to explain how their theory makes any sense).

Tomlinson admitted he was unsure which stretcher the bullet came from, of the two in the vicinity, one of which was Connally's.

And the bullet in evidence came from Oswald's rifle to the exclusion of all other weapons in existence. That narrows down the shooting victims to a possible two: JFK and Connally. Since JFK's stretcher was eliminated as the source of the bullet, that leaves only Connally's stretcher as the source.

That's another logical fallacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrelevant_conclusion

You're failing to address the issue I raised.

I'm asking if Mark Lane could cite for his claim. You deleted my point (I put it back below) so you can delete it again.

It's a hospital! Until COVID, you didn't need authorization to enter a hospital.
Does Mark Lane cite a source for his above claim that "there were many unauthorized persons at the hospital on November 22" or is this just another unproven assertion by him? Does Lane name these many unauthorized persons?

We're still waiting for you to address my point instead of deleting it.

Hilarious. It is still a logical fallacy by Lane.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulity

And now you are evoking the logical fallacy of shifting the burden of proof.
I don't have to refute anything Lane says. Lane (or you, since you're citing Lane)
need to establish the truth of what Lane says. Go ahead, we'll wait.

Mark Lane proved himself capable of surmounting the difficulty imposed by that evidence by simply ignoring it.


>

And that's the logical fallacy of ipse dixit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipse_dixit

Ipse dixit (bare assertion fallacy) – a claim that is presented as true without support, as self-evidently true, or as dogmatically true. This fallacy relies on the implied expertise of the speaker or on an unstated truism.

Begged question of a lie.

> There you go again...

Lane said the Commission offered a conclusion based on no evidence. I (and others) cited the testimony of Jane Wester as some of the evidence that Lane didn't address that led the Commission to the conclusion they reached. Lane's ignoring the evidence (and you following in lockstep) doesn't negate that evidence.

I stand corrected on that issue. My apologies.
But that should be at the beginning of this issue, not at the very end.
Because as Lane noted, Tomlinson is the only witness to the discovery of the bullet.

And that witness was uncertain, so why is Lane stressing his uncertain recollection?

And where does Lane address the import of Wester's testimony?

That same evidence reveals Mark Lane never let the evidence get in the way of his arguments.

Establish that. I already cited the evidence of Jane Wester, which Mark Lane and you ignored. The commission didn't ignore it, fortunately for the truth.

There was only one more response, and it's not a logical fallacy. I put it back again below.

More ad hominem. Logical fallacies are a poor substitute for an argument supported by evidence.

You're blatantly lying, Huckster... indeed, you know it so well that
you RAN AWAY REPEATEDLY from the evidence showing this.


> Why don’t you make a case, instead of just an assertion?


I did. You ran. Lurkers can search for "Proof That Huckster's A
Cowardly Liar" for a number of examples.

Already did. You ran. REPEATEDLY!

Watch folks, as Huckster tries to deny that he ran from the series I
posted that was referenced above.

Tut tut tut... the issue is not what Mark Lane didn't say, it's what
he *DID* say that you've got to address first.

You've left out any pertinent refutation.

Still not refutation...

Your days of bowling over people with claims of logical fallacies has
ended.

*YOU* will need to make arguments *NOT* based on logical fallacies...

The problem is that this is FREQUENT.

Indeed, you posted a long detailed post in another forum describing
Mark Lane's actions... AND GOT NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DETAIL WRONG.

You've still refused to respond to my response correcting you.

You are FREQUENTLY caught lying about Mark Lane, or the evidence in
this case.

One can only presume that not only are you a liar, but that *YOU* know
you are a liar...
