does she really want to compare herself to LBJ. In other news 9 troops were killed in the last 24 hours in Iraq…
LBJ took the IRT down to 4th Street, U-S-A.
When he got there, what did he see?
The youth of America on L-S-D.

damn…i didnt know the blog was popping off like this. i stopped reading this because i forgot why i ever started. obamobbing this year!
“This is the kind of revisionist history I expect from the most extreme white supremacist kooks.”
No, it isn’t, and to say as much is a little silly.
OF COURSE he was reacting to changes in society, of course Hilary knows this, but it did still in fact take a president to sign the voting rights act passed. This is in no way inaccurate. JFK didn’t have the political muscle (also, he was dead). LBJ did and it lost the SOuth for Democrats for, well, something tells me Mississippi won’t be going Democratic this year, no matter who the candidate is.
Don’t get me wrong, Hilary’s comment was idiotic and ill-formed. But not really revisionist.
But her comment was made in the way that many of the Clintons’ comments, three, two, one day before the NH primary were made. Bubba’s comments on Obama’s war record. Hillary’s mailer on Obama’s record on choice. Not (quite) inaccurate, but taken out of context, confusing enough to infer one thing or another. In this specific instance it was a bad move because everyone knows that civil rights was a movement. It’s just that this “reality check” message that Hillary’s trying out (just like trying out this from-my-heart personality) is a scam, and it’s offensive, it’s “naive and frankly irresponsible.”
