re: Could Lyndon Johnson be the worse President ever

The first man I ever viscerally hated - I was taught from a child by my grandfather when I was a kid that LBJ was a "bad man" - a murderer - and that was back in the 40's = some of my first remembrances are listening to my grandfather discussing that thing call "politics" with his friends and relatives.

I remember when the announcement was made of JFK's assissanation - my first thought after the shock was = "LBJ did it"

and YET - during his presidency I supported the war in Vietnam - at that time I felt that even though he was probably a murderer, nobody could be so bad as to start a war like that.

Now that the Gulf of Tonkin 'incident' has been exposed to be just another CIA/MIC collusion to get another shooting war started it has finally dawned on me that some people are just that evil = the entire upper echelon of the DEM party and the upper crust oligarchy fall into the same category = evil people.
