In Reply to: I watched it recently... LBJ was clearly an ASSHOLE! posted by TWB on August 24, 2018 at 20:27:22:
He grew up literally dirt poor, was a teacher and built his way up.
When you consider what he did for all people and black people especially while being a Dixiecrat it's pretty amazing
He was a foul mouthed bully of sorts. Big deal. You should read about his final years after 1968. Pretty intense.
I don't particularly like the guy either but he has quite a diverse resume and some very good things to his credit.
