In my recollection people didn't go around calling people racist like they do now. They just knew who was. Like Johnson, Wallace, etc. I won't say that there were NO Republicans who weren't racist, just like I won't say there are none now, as there probably is.
I took Rusty's "everyone hated LBJ" as a figure of speech not that she literally meant "EVERYONE"
Conservatives despised Johnson and rightly so. Leftists hated him because he was a liberal and not a Communist. Basically the Johnson hating Left is now running the Democrats.
“I took Rusty’s “everyone hated LBJ” as a figure of speech not that she literally meant “EVERYONE”
I don’t have a problem with hyperbole. I do have an issue with Rusty saying that people hated LBJ because he was a racist. No one was saying that when he was President. We don’t need to be slandering our political opponents. Johnson is high on my list of worst Presidents, but let’s not resort to character assassination. There’s enough that he actually did that was bad.
Thank you.
