This argument is in addition to no evidence of these groups' involvement. There was simply too much that could go wrong and too much to lose by any of the usual suspects mentioned by JFK conspiracy theorists. What level of assurance of success could have been had to proceed with such an outlandish plot (to kill Kennedy and frame Oswald)? What level of assurance would you require? Such a plan could only have been seen as "unlikely and far-fetched."
Ask yourself, seriously, what would it take for you to clear the hurdle to have become part of any such plot? Now think of the institutional hurdles that any such suspect organization would have to overcome on top of persuading individual members of the conspiracy. Every group ever mentioned as suspects would have such inhibitions, such risk aversion. This isn't some lout muscling in on your territory. This is the President of the United States. This is precisely why only one President out of four has ever been assassinated by a conspiracy - and those conspirators did not recognize Lincoln as their president.
