It’s a movie - anybody that thinks a hollywood production bears anything more than accidental resemblance to truth is just kidding themselves.
Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama...
This is what the Left has been happy to be represented by for the last 50 years.
As despicable as their true gifts have been (putting it mildly), all the Left can do now is lie like there’s no tomorrow. As this is what they do.
With Johnson and Carter, they try to rewrite history after the fact. With Clinton and (not) soon (enough) Obama, they rewrite their actions. But with Clinton and Obama, they have also started to lie about everything they do in the moment.
Clinton only survived because his henchmen and the media covered for him with one of the most massive disinformation campaigns in the history of the planet.
With Obama, once again, the man only survives (politically / viably) because of the media and it’s manipulation of fact and fiction.
Having watched the Left crater down the decades to the traitor we now have, one must wonder what they do for an encore. How does it get worse from here?
The Leftist Liberal Democrats will find a way.
Oliver Stone's "JFK" should put that issue to rest.
I expect this from the Left. They have to blur issues. It's in their genes.
What bothers me, is the impression the public gets who didn't live through those dark days.
Stone mislead people a great deal. There is such a wealth of information to provide regarding Kennedy's death. Much is still unknown, but you present it as it was, not as you want to convince folks it was.
There's no harm in telling what you know and explaining the lack of answers for questions we still have.
A gifted story teller make this entertaining and a learning moment. Of course we can't accuse Stone of even aspiring to be that.
I really don't believe that they made any note of his plagiarism or adultery and I don't have to go see the movie to know. It is no different than the history revisions for LBJ, JFK, Chavez or any other of the liberals heroes.
Do you mean “complementary” or “complimentary”?
Oh bloody hell! The grammar police are out, no one ever expects the grammar police!
I’m waiting for Ann Coulter to have a go (with lots of help) at rewriting Robert Caro. Caro has fallen in love with LBJ and has been blinded by the masterful manipulation and deception LBJ used to get his way.
Sign of a true liberal — lovin’ the power!
Right, then — the Comfy Chair! Bwaaaahahaha!
That book is coming out on the twelfth of Never.
Is the author channel St Rothbard, Lew Rockwell, and Ron Paul. Hard to know where to start parsing the garbage here and really not worth the effort. Long story short was LBJ thought the world was like the Senate and Texas politics, he figured the SRV politburo where not much different than some recalcitrant Texas county politicians and he could arm twist and bribe them into quiet.
"Widely known" by "progressives", maybe. But others have always known who/what he really was.
There was no flip-flop when LBJ became President. The Civil Rights Act was a vote buying scheme. LBJ did nothing to help blacks. It was Nixon who finished school desegregation and affirmative action.
King was investigated for plagiarism in the 1980s.
How could have they presented that in the movie?
How does it get worse?
Well, the democrats could appoint a muslim brotherhood member to the House Intelligence Committee.
But wait.
No.
Never mind.
Even THEY would not stoop THAT low...

“Johnson’s dogged pursuit of a faraway, completely staged and unnecessary war...,
Who do they let write for Town Hall now?
JFk like Clinton didn’t much care about anything but screwing around with everything in a skirt. LBJ and Carter were both racists, Carter was just a little better at lying about the facts.
It’s documented history that Carter made deals with the Klan to get elected governor, but they don’t teach real history in school anymore.
Wallace was racist too, but he was honest enough to come out admit it. All are/were democrats and corrupt, but of those 5 Wallace was the only honest one and the only one that ever changed his views on race.
In my opinion MLK was little better than Jessy Jackass, he just was better at polishing up his act. MLK made sure the riots didn’t start until he had left town to make another speech somewhere else.
