I watched it for about 10 minutes and was stunned. It was all about her and LBJ.
DKG thinks Lyndon Johnson wrote the Gettysburg Address but was plagiarized by Lincoln.
I was draft age when LBJ was prez. Any fan of his is coo coo for Cocoa Puffs, in my opinion.
Neeee-ver heard of her.
“She said the first person who would confront her in her afterlife would be Lyndon Johnson”
No, it will be a squad of Union privates who will escort her to the gates of Hell where she belongs.
What can you expect of a woman who as a child played “make believe” where she and her friends were Julius and Ethel Rosenberg!
Grant wasn’t anywhere near Gettysburg. He was a thousand miles away accepting the surrender of Vicksburg.
She is a fool, but why would anyone mention Grant at Gettysburg? He was still at Vicksburg.
MustKnowHistory, please forgive this old history major
for using your space to respond to Ms Goodwin.
Dear Doris
I believe womens rights and gay rights are doing just fine
right now and Abe Lincoln would even agree. What Abe
and I are a little worked up over is the blatant unethical
and immoral acts of todays politicans and the failure of
commentators such as yourself to call them on it . I am
speaking in particularly of the current president and his
administration. You, Doris, are among those intellectuals
who believe that lies and scandals are OK if they serve
a political purpose which you endorse. That, Doris, is
not intellectual. It is just being a toady hack and our
nation will suffer in the long run whether done
by the left or right. Gay and women’s rights will take
care of themselves. You and your ilk will stand by and
watch this nation die rather than address the serious
issues.

I hope that payment is withheld.
Importantly, she is not a “historian”, but a “history writer”, and in academics there is a huge chasm between the two.
Historians follow some pretty strict rules to do peer reviewed histories.
History writers can write anything they want. Basically semi-fiction, or fiction supported by some facts.
And Doris Kearns Goodwin has also been caught plagiarizing other people’s works. Even history writers can have some credibility, but not plagiarists.
We watched her yesterday, and we were stunned that she carried on about herself, her boy, LBJ, and Harry Hopkins.
She quickly got in a sentence with the word love in it about Lorena Hickok and Eleanor having a room next to each other. The implication was clear and highly unnecessary in this somber and serious Gettysburg setting. It was not related to this occasion, and it was offensive, in my opinion.
We kept waiting for something important about President Lincoln and Gettysburg to be said by her. She was so awful that we were forced to change stations. Her fast rambling was too much to take.
We felt sorry for the audience sitting there who had to endure this. They were obviously intelligent people who came to Gettysburg to honor the people who fought there and to learn about the history. It was not fair that they had to listen to her.
Libs never quit trying.
For them, agenda trumps all.
She has also written about the size LBJ’s private part.
Nah,I don't think so. Consider the following remark:
I think she SLEPT with LBJ. I’m not kidding.
What genius invited that plagiarist/liar/fruitbat to speak at Gettysburg?
Faggots are in full force pushing their homosexual pedophilic agenda.
One more narcissistic liberal with a huge puffed-up ego... Doris Kears Goodwin's an embarrassment....
