The only conspiracy theory I really subscribe to is the JFK assassination. If you've seen the movie JFK, you'd probably agree that, despite its minor factual errors, it does open up a line of questioning as to the legitimacy of the lone gunman theory. I have read (and by read, I mean skimmed through the first few chapters of) the Warren Report, and it is rife with what seems to be straight up bullshit.
First off, the Report states that Oswald's military-tested marksmanship was nowhere near sufficient to make the shot that allegedly killed Kennedy. Then they say that the faulty sight on the rifle compensated for this. That's like expecting a hurricane to sweep by a city that was already hit by one, and move all the debris back to how it was before the first hurricane.
They also give a picture of Oswald holding a rifle that's obviously doctored, none of the shadows match up. Jack Ruby killing Oswald works about as conveniently as a meteorite killing your would-be mugger, and is just about as likely.
But the real nail in the bullshit coffin is the Magic Bullet. I mean, COME ON. How the hell are we supposed to believe that a bullet, fired from a gun, travels hundreds of feet, hits a target, makes something like 7 90-degree turns, including one in midair, and exits completely pristine?
So what do I think really happened? This video sums it up pretty well:
