Johnson’s “Watergate” (LBJ vs. Goldwater.)

National Review ^ | June 07, 2005 | Lee Edwards

[Betaille]

I'd say Johnson was the worst president in US history.

[Mo1]

And the Washington Post didn't report on this ??
/sarcasm >

[SteveH]

... and obtained advance texts of Goldwater speeches through a "woman secretary," clearly suggesting that the agency planted someone inside the Goldwater campaign organization.

Makes one wonder how far back Hillary! was in play... ;-P

[TBP]

This was worse than Watergate. But just like the Klintoon scandals, this was perfectly OK with the civil-liberties-loving liberals.

[AzaleaCity5691]

It's a tie between him and Mr. Lincoln, that's for sure

When Johnson's wife was down here in Mobile for something back in 1964, someone spit on her while she was on the train. She went back home and told her husband, and that's why they closed Brookley Air Force Base.

[BookaT]

You messes with Johnson, YOU DIED!

Hey sounds Clintonion. Execpt you mess with Clinton you died or got raped. But I guess you mostly died.

[jamaly]

All conservatives need to know this and spread the word. The MSM wh*res have kept this quiet for far too long. Think about it, Walter Cronkite knew this, Tom Brokaw knew this, Ted Turner knew this, Peter Jennings knew this, Katie Couric knew this. This list could go on for a mile. But, they didn't want US to know it. They manipulate the news and the uniformed sheeple blindly follow. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh and the conservative movement. Maybe someday we can defeat these traitors for ever.

[MJY1288]

What I gather from all the latest Revelations about Watergate is that it's very very obvious to me that the Democrats are no longer control of what is covered by the Press. No longer do they have a MSM that can run cover for them, or slander a Republican without being outed by the "New Media"

The more and more we dig deeper into past events, the more and more we see just how duplicative and hypocritical the RATS truly are. This goes back to a past Tag-line I used..... "If it wasn't for double standards, The Democrats wouldn't have any"

[Mo1]

This list could go on for a mile. But, they didn't want US to know it.

Hey Howlin .. what was that quote from Katherine Graham ???

[Mo1]

I read/heard some where that LBJ use to brag about wiretapping people

[MJY1288]

IMHO JBJ was the most corrupt President ever. There was no limit to the depths he would go in order to advance his ambitions. That includes murdering off his adversaries in Texas to possibly even being involved in Kennedy's assassination

[MJY1288]

JBJ = LBJ

What. Were you "out of town" when Carter was ravaging the country?

[MJY1288]

But Carter wasn't corrupt. He was a spineless worm, a chicken shiite, a feckless simpleton, uninspiring loser who couldn't muster a single shred of leadership capabilities if his life depended on it, but Johnson was an evil and corrupt sonofabeeeeatch to his core if we ever knew one

[Betaille]

"What. Were you "out of town" when Carter was ravaging the country?"

I was not yet born. I think alot of the economic disaster of the 70's can be attributed to Johnson's programs. Carter sure sucked but he didn't have the overwhelming effect on policy that Johnson did.

[AzaleaCity5691]

Carter was honest though.

Also, Carter didn't get us into a war that we lost, Carter didn't screw up the budget

Everything that went wrong in the 70's was the direct result of the moronic policies undertaken by the administration of Lyndon Baines Johnson, worst President since Abe Lincoln.

Let's review what else went wrong in LBJ's term

Riots broke out in over 100 cities

The Interstate Firearms Trafficking Act (a major abrogation of our 2nd amendment rights) was passed in 1968. It banned mail order gun sales

Johnson used everything from the BRAC to Supreme Court appointments to award friends and punish enemies. Not to mention, Abe Fordice.

Johnson also appointed that moron Attorney General (I can't remember his name now, but I had heard he was going on Saddams defense team)

Johnson created the "Great Society" which is responsible for all problems that plague our inner cities today

Johnson also has a trial a million miles long in Texas, in the league of Pa Ferguson.

[stboz]

Gee, it's nice to hear someone say that after all these years. LBJ was the abysmal pit of American politics.

I'll never be one of his "fellow Ahmuricans." I hope he rots somewhere.

[Betaille]

"Johnson created the "Great Society" which is responsible for all problems that plague our inner cities today"

Whenever I hear liberal media imply that moral issues are separate from economic issues, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. It's a perfect example of how foolish economic policies can lead to moral breakdown. What's the latest figure on the percentage african american children born out of wedlock?

[My2Cents]

worst President since Abe Lincoln

You have quite the bee up your butt, don't you.
