A liberal who made the mistake of thinking he could work with the Kennedy's.
You can’t possibly ever depict Johnson as evil enough. The first truly demonic American president.
This movie is getting pushed heavily on Salem radio.
Commercials for it all the time.
I can’t buy a movie about King that has hip hop music as a backdrop.
Seems ludicrous.

The movie celebrates the bringing of the Third World assault on the West to the United States. Gandhi opened against England with his bestial appreciation that the West was spiritually exhausted by two world wars, only then did he strike. King’s masters brought the war to our shores. After fifty years of unremitting attacks We are losing. Western Man is without strength to effectually resist the relentless psychological and physical assaults.
The stakes are pretty high for “Selma,” a historical biopic about the landmark 1965 civil rights march that focuses on the relationship between civil rights leader Martin Luther King and President Lyndon Johnson. Even before it hit screens, the critically-acclaimed film was considered an Oscar-contender There is also “Selma’s” director, Ava DuVernay, who could become the first black female nominated for a Best Director Oscar (Oprah Winfrey is a producer).
In the wake of the Democrat/media-fabricated race hoaxes surrounding Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, not to mention the Year of the Woman hype being pushed by the media to lift Hillary Clinton into the Oval Office, the political and emotional investment pre-built into the Narrative around “Selma’s” road to Oscar is obvious.
A speed bump along this road, however, is a little thing called historical accuracy.
Some how I do not feel a need to prop up LBJ’s reputation.
Drudge picked up on the fascinating fact that this is the second year in a row the prestigious Producers Guild Awards snubbed producer Oprah Winfrey and her product: a historical-based race drama. Last year, it was the historically-inaccurate “The Butler.” This year it is the historically-inaccurate “Selma.”Every year the PGA nominates the producers of 10 films for its prestigious Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. Because of the voting pool involved, the PGAs are usually a very good indicator of the films that will go on to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
Gee, anyone get the feeling that racial tensions in this country are being deliberately stoked? These slavery/civil rights movies seem to be coming out in droves every single year since The One unfortunately became POTUS. Probably the most ridiculous was “12 years a slave” which seemed to me to be nothing more than a black snuff film. The whole freakin’ movie is blacks getting whipped, strung up, beat up, punched, kicked, slapped, tortured, lynched on and on and on and on. And they promoted it “as being the true story” it “was taken verbatim for the book” without realizing that a lot of stuff in that book was BS, was used as propaganda for the anti-slave movement.Yes no doubt slaves were abused like that, but not on the scale that movie portrayed. Slaves were property and owners would no more abuse them than they would abuse a horse which means they rarely did. I mean what was the point? It was all about money, you abuse a slave it cost money, if they are injured they can’t work or they run away, so it’s utter nonsense that they were abused on the scale that movie showed. But leave it to the left to re-write history that the evil white man abused blacks 24 hours a day 7 days a week. This is the freakin’ left deliberately stoking racial tensions today. Why? Who knows, maybe they are upset Obama didn’t turn out to be the Messiah they hoped and want to blame it all his failures on the white man.
Why did LBJ refuse to run for a second term? Think about it. LBJ was ruthless. The hippies frightened him out of running? Hardly. Something big kept him from running again.
I remember LBJ well. He was a lowlife dirt bag.
IMHO, Johnson was complicit in JFK’s assassination.
Isn't this the liberal approach? I'll tell you some lies and codify it as a movie and you can find out for yourself what the truth really is. Of course it will be too late to matter.
Hollyweird should have made King white.
LBJ was a leftist radical. Michael King, aka Martin Luther King jr. was an even more hardlined communist radical than LBJ. I do not understand the idol worship of MLK.
He should get a posthumous SAG card. . . .
Yeah. Signed by Dalton Trumbo. And Will Geer.
Sadly, this movie will become “official” history for those who see it.
I'm not sure how anyone could paint this loser in any positive way.
The Selma march or whatever it was so-called, amounted to nightly orgies, openly committing acts of a sexual nature, alcohol, drugs, and other deviant behavior in the surrounding fields or wherever they happened to be staying on any particular night. Why does no one ever mention that?
