===================================
LBJ and McNamara were Lefties? Where do you kids get this BS?
LBJ was caught in a quandry trying to calm the American public by the deaths happening daily in Vietnam, while having to address the troops Gen Westmoreland was asking for on the ground.
Great Society, 50,000 plus dead in a war Johnson never intended winning, Abe Fortas and Thurgood Marshall to SCOTUS, untold liberals to lesser courts.
Yeah, he was a lefty and the most despicable man ever to occupy the oval office.
The media and the anti-war activists who created that political pressure sure were lefties. Did I say LBJ and McNamara? I'm talking about the folks who used the war as an excuse to campaign against their country, those who collaborated with the enemy.
