      Nowhere near the menace that Johnson turned out to be, involved in the assassinations of JFK and RFK, possibly MLK too. Got us involved in Vietnam to the cost of over 58,000 American lives, 1 MILLION Vietnamese, and more than 200 billion dollars. Increased greatly the number of government control programs that "entitle" people to "free" government money (which is the Taxpayer's money) LBJ is easily one of the WORST Presidents of the USA, following 2 GREAT Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. That's ok LBJ is now burning in hell as he deserves.

      You should take the opportunity to explain your why you disagree. You comment is unhelpful. What I assume you were getting at is people like Wallace were responsible for LBJ's rise to power. LBJ had been supported by them and had been an instrument for them many, many times. Therefore, LBJ dealing with Wallace was not likely to bother him. My assumption is you are calling LBJ a racist as well?
