Oswald claimed to be a Marxist, but actually was a loyal patriotic American who loved his country, loved his president, was a former US Marine, worked for Naval Intelligence, as well as an operative for CIA and FBI, was sent to USSR after having been sheep dipped as a disloyal American, but never revoked his citizenship, was apparently sent to language school so that he could speak fluent Russian, then sent to USSR so that he could spy for the US. While he made a big splash with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, he was also working with anti-Castro groups at the same time. Someday, when the full truth is accepted, he should be posthumously awarded the Medal of Freedom.
If nothing else, this thread did get me to crack open Vinnie B.'s little book of Reclaiming History, where I find this gem (pg 967):
[Lee Harvey Oswald] is someone who ... not only had a propensity for violence (his attempted murder of Major General Edwin Walker ..., his threat to blow up the FBI building ...), but also was emotionally and psychologically unhinged; was a bitter, frustrated, and beaten-down loser who felt alienated from society and couldn't get along with anyone, including his wife; irrationally viewed himself in a historical light, having visions of grandeur and of changing the world; was one whose political ideology consumed his daily life, causing him to keep time to his own drummer in a lonely obsession with Marxism and Castro's Cuba; and hated his country and its representatives to such an extent that he defected to one of the most undesirable places on earth.
It's a good thing we have "common knowledge" to tell us otherwise.
