Film director Oliver Stone told a JFK assassination conference in Pittsburgh that ''Case Closed'' was discredited and "there's nothing in the movie (''JFK'') that I would go back on." Posner, on the day of the 50th anniversary, told CNN's Anderson Cooper that "the only thing he [Stone] gets right in 'JFK' is the date on which Kennedy is killed.

The campaign strategy was dubbed "K1C2" and was intended to focus on attacking the Truman administration on three failures: the Korean War, Communism, and corruption.

Red-baiting Discrediting opponent's argument by accusing them of being a radical leftist
Into the 21st century, with the rise in popularity and to the mainstream of self-declared ''democratic socialist'' United States senator Bernie Sanders, ''socialist'' has continued to be used as an insult, mainly by conservatives. Among conservatives, ''socialist'' is used as an insult to imply that Nazism, and by extension fascism, was a left-wing ideology, which is contrary to the consensus among scholars of fascism as a far-right ideology. An example of this is conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg's book ''Liberal Fascism'', where modern liberalism and progressivism are described as the child of ''fascism'', which is considered to be ''socialist''. For conservative figures such as Dinesh D'Souza and Candace Owens, American Left figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren are not only ''socialists'' but since the Nazis are wrongly considered to be ''socialists'' in this view, they are dangerous, and in turn anyone who oppose them cannot have any link to Nazism or the far right. The use of ''socialist'' as an insult to falsely imply that the Nazis were leftists is seen as a way to disavow far-right history, erase leftist victims of Nazi violence, and justify violence against leftists.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Ocasio-Cortez told Anderson Cooper that she favors policies that "most closely resemble what we see in the UK, in Norway, in Finland, in Sweden".
