Thanks for the posting of this interview. Not only does he display great recall, but he retells the events with wit and clarity.

When I went to college, I started in journalism. Changed to electronics because I felt more at home with technicians, but still have an interest in reporting.

Lovely interview Mr Hampton very clear and concise on what must have been a traumatic time for him.

Superb & heartfelt interview with Mr Hampton & agree I with his conclusion that Lee Oswald did the deed & did it alone. The rest as I always say, is wishful thinking & pure fantasy.

This guy is so steeped in liberal lore that he repeats countless times how Dallas was full of extreme right-wing factions and he equates people who were against Castro, Khrushchev, and Communism as being equivalent to being extremists. He eventually admits in passing that Oswald had nothing to do with that storyline and was a lefty. It's just like the liberal media....a big headline that's false on the front page and then a hidden retraction on page 14 days later. All this as he correctly decries the rush to publish in TV news. He should take note that JFK was against Castro, Khrushchev, and Communism, just like normal conservatives and moderate Americans were in Dallas and throughout the country.

@bradleyholt9805 Год назад

Actually, he was very journalistic about the climate in Dallas, 1963. I'm glad he prefaced his memories with this accurate backdrop.

@KRD11 Год назад

He literally said it was a “small coterie of extreme, arch conservative, right wing ‘nuts’, as JFK called them.” What would you call the Birchers and Walker supporters who accosted LBJ / Lady Bird in ‘60, and Stevenson in October ‘63?

I'm amazed at all the false assertions. It is enough to watch the Zapruder film to see the fatal shot came from the front right.

@jerrymarshall2095 3 года назад

That nonsense,have u ever shot a gun?A shot from front wouldve blown out the back of his head.the Z film shows the right side of his head blown away;furthermore the blast from his head went forward and up.

@soundbreak7 3 года назад

@@jerrymarshall2095 so a shot from behind and above will blow out the front right side of his head ?? certainly looks like the fatal shot was fired from the front

@iluatldm 2 года назад

@@soundbreak7 soundbreak Jerry's right. The number of people like you that don't understand entry and exit wounds is staggering. He was bent forward when the fatal shot hit. the wound is absolutely caused by a shot from behind and its corroborated by the film. If the shot came from the grassy knoll like you nutcases think the exit wound would have been on the other side of his head.

@iluatldm 2 года назад

Marc - learn how entry and exit wounds work before you sound off. If it came from front right the left side off his head would have been blown off from the exit wound. Unbelievable the number of you people that spout this conspiracy rubbish.

@soundbreak7 2 года назад

@@iluatldm explain how a shot that came form 6 stories above and behind can cause an exit wound top right side of head , many of the DRs and nurses that saw JFK thought the wounds consisted of a frontal shot , if im a nut case , your a sheep , believe what ever they tell you , GEE there really wasnt anything suspicious that went on that day

Lacey Barkley is factually WRONG on both counts. VTPSTTU is exactly correct. Lacey must be a recent college graduate. Almost everything taught in those types of institutions today is sadly very biased and equally untrue.

@spudrain 4 года назад

Stephen Fagin. Thank you for the wonderful job you do. But my only criticism is the focus on the backdrop of intolerance and hate that preceded JFKs visit. It is good for background but it’s really not a major part of the assassination story. Oswald was a far left wing Communist. He’s the guy that pulled the trigger so why do you allow liberal nuts like Bill Hampton to ramble on about the topic of right wing extremism when it had nothing to do with the assassination? Unless you are intentionally trying to create the misimpression that JFK was killed by a right wing nut instead of a liberal left wing extremist. Are you a legitimate historian or a politically motivated charlatan like Oliver Stone. What say you Stephen Fagin?

@laurastanton7812 2 года назад

Hampton is a politically motivated charlatan for sure.

@spudrain 7 месяцев назад

@@mikehiggins946You may be right. But other videos make me think that Fagin knew what he was doing. He is constantly pushing and encouraging the right wing extremism theme. I don’t think it is by accident.

Spare me your political philosophy Mr. Hampton you have prejudiced yourself overshadowing your account of events that day.

@billkeon880 3 года назад

Those were the facts of the political climate in Dallas at that time, corroborated by many others. If you don’t like his political leanings, that’s fine but that’s beside the point. Little of his descriptions were coloured by politics. It’s all factual recounting

@iluatldm 2 года назад

That's the problem with people like you Roger. If facts don't support your own position you discredit them. The political climate in Dallas at the time was tarnished by a right wing extremist fervor. Its incredibly well documented with plenty of news footage preserving the sentiment at the time.

@laurastanton7812 2 года назад

Agree Roger Waters. This reporter worked for NYTs so we cant expect any real journalism from him. He is too blinded by his ideology to clearly see it was a complete left winger extremist shit show in Dallas at the time. Nearly every player including the shooter and conspiracy suspects and the politicians were left wingers. Some of the left wingers were communists. How this dude drags conservatives into his narrative is so desperate. Geez, no wonder the conservatives protested those left wing bigots. Anybody sane would. Look what they were up to.
