On Sunday, a stunned audience sat in silence as Doris Kearns Goodwin turned the keynote address at the opening ceremony for the 150th anniverary of the Battle of Gettysburg into a political lecture focusing on women's and gay rights. Missing from much of her keynote: Gettysburg.
Self-centered, insular, and oblivious to the occasion, the historian who was infamously caught plagiarizing merely recycled much of what she has said before about herself in previous speeches. And her rambling, self-promoting, and borderline inappropriate lecture touched upon nearly everything except for the heroic sacrifices made on that battlefield.
In so doing, she desecrated the hallowed land on which she spoke, dishonored Gettysburg's honored dead, and disrespected the nearly 8,000 Americans in attendance who did not come to Gettysburg to hear about her life's story and a progressive history lecture.
Before even referencing President Abraham Lincoln, Kearns Goodwin started her speech by mentioning President Lyndon Johnson. In fact, more of her speech was devoted to Johnson and herself than to Lincoln, Grant, Lee, and Gettysburg. Boasting about all the presidents she has researched, Kearns Goodwin said her only worry was that in her afterlife all of the presidents about whom she has written or plagiarized will confront her to complain and point out inaccuracies in her work.
She said the first person who would confront her in her afterlife would be Lyndon Johnson, who she said would scream at her, "how come that book on the Kennedys is twice as long as the book you wrote about me?"
After briefly--and in an obligatory manner--actually mentioning Gettysburg and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Kearns Goodwin could not stop herself from rehashing her civil rights stories.

She’s a PLAGARIST.....who would believe her in anything.
Are you SERIOUS???
HA!
And why do we say her middle name? Is she a serial killer that we haven’t heard about? Or are they just doing it in anticipation that one day she will murder others?

Please stop dragging FR thru the mud with your nutball posts.
You’re the kook if you really think you can stop all “nutball posts” from appearing on FR.
That’s right. Big deal.
What genius invited that plagiarist/liar/fruitbat to speak at Gettysburg?
Newbie-dweeb says what? Skip on home, little girl, I think I hear one of your two mommies calling.
LOL!
Got to ya, didn’t I!!!

Faggots are in full force pushing their homosexual pedophilic agenda.
The organizations's planners had the wool pulled over their eyes by this hardened broad....and they got what they deserved. I'll bet they won't be so trusting and naive next time they hire a speaker.

Regarding Doris playing Ethel Rosenberg during “make believe”? Yup. I read it in her memoir. Really and truly!
Recommend the book "Blood, Money, and Power" by Barr McClellan, from a number of years ago. It offers a convincing case in support of the theory that LBJ masterminded the JFK assassination (as well as an earlier killing of a US Agriculture Dept. official), written by a man who had obtained "inside" historical information on LBJ from having been an attorney at LBJ's buddy's law firm in Austin, TX.
One more narcissistic liberal with a huge puffed-up ego... Doris Kears Goodwin's an embarrassment....
Yeah...I read this several years ago. A very convincing read. Johnson was headed for a new federal investigation over the Bobby Baker scandal...and JFK (according to Evelyn Lincoln) was going to remove him from the ticket in ‘64.
Johnson had motive, opportunity, and means according to McClellan.
Thanks, justiceseeker93-I’ll check it out. LBJ was probably the nastiest president we’ve had—until now.
I was listening to a radio show yesterday and the author being interviewed was a big mafia lawyer that wrote a book on his interview with the guy who said he was part of the group that killed Hoffa.
He said the mafia guy when asked about Kennedy said he would never touch dallas.

I heard that interview, too. He also said something about rifles being sent to Dallas.
It’s so obvious that JFK was “hit”.
Frank put two bullets in Hoffa’s head and Hoffa was cremated.
