I wonder when they will write about the edited out portions of Kings life that are not complementary to his legend?

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.

‘Johnson's dogged pursuit of a faraway, completely staged and unnecessary war, for which he exploited the patriotism of credulous young men — a war fought essentially for his own personal, political and pecuniary gain, in his deluded mind — caused a fundamental split between these men that festered until MLK’s assassination on April 4, 1968. Nearly thirty years later The New York Times, on June 20, 1997, reported that Dexter Scott King, MLK’s son speaking for the King family, announced their finding that LBJ and the FBI were behind the assassination, which was carried out by the military and intelligence apparatus of the United States government.’

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.

That Johnson has now become widely known for supposedly being the greatest civil rights hero in history...

"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.

Who do they let write for Town Hall now?
