I never noticed the connection, being a little kid at the time, but Moyers was a little attack dog for LBJ and helped torpedo Goldwater’s campaign...who probably would have kept us out of Vietnam and saved us a lot of grief as a nation. Moyers is lower than pond scum.
Getting into Vietnam was a bungle by a hot tempered Democrat president. Once that tinder box got started the fire had to burn till it burned out. Agree that Goldwater would have been more phlegmatic about it, more cautious, far from the bomb happy stereotype that he was accused of.
I hadn’t thought back that far but you’re right. I’ve never liked Moyers. Come to think of it, I’ve never liked PBS either.
They told me in ‘64 that if I voted for Goldwater the economy would sink and the war in Vietnam would get worse. I did vote for Goldwater and lo and behold, they were rignt!
