EP120: Shermer's Six Straw Men Against JFK Conspiracy - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

It was an otherwise fantastic interview on a great podcast. We highly recommend you watch the entire show! But Michael Shermer stumbled badly on the Kennedy assassination stuff. On this matter, Jim shows how he doesn't even practice trademarked Skepticism. Using clips from his interview with Reason's Nick Gillespie, Jim Babka demonstrates how uninformed and unfair Shermer is on this one issue - even answering Shermer's only real Skeptic question.
