When LBJ was still in office, he caught hell for the Vietnam War by the left. Nowadays almost all the blame for it is on Nixon.

You are correct; even though Nixon is the one who ACTUALLY ended America's participation in Vietnam!
Americans have some form of dyslexia when it comes to reading the party-affiliation of actual parties involved: i.e., Republicans ended slavery but HATE minorities, LBJ ESCALATED/Nixon ENDED American involvement in Vietnam but Nixon was the warmonger, Obama has more debt than all other Presidents combined but Bush was the rash, over-spender, etc...
There are many, MANY more examples and it just BAFFLES my mind how abjectly STUPID Americans really can be!
