Powerful scene...

"If you ain't any better than a n*****, then who are you better than?"

That about sums up that whole mentality. That's your Republican/Tea Party.

They just keep on acting like the racist killers that dominated the South in the first half of the 20th century. Only federal power keeps them from sliding backward to barbarism.

Bigoted much?

What they mean is back to when women and African Americans had NO rights.

We're progressive; they're REGRESSIVE.

He was a "D" but the quote is about him explaining why various people can vote against their own best interests.
He was explaining how this phenomenon takes place.

What was wrong with the statement that warrants a short stay?

He made an astute political observation that was 100% accurate.

I see others with some weird agenda.

You never read how he started his political career, have you?


Tick, tock.

Telling.

Step One: Stop watching FOX "News" and listening to Rush Limbaugh.

but he/she turned out to be a troll (name removed, messages deleted)

who decides if some one is banned

That's why he's explaining to the public how the GOP has used racism to convince people to vote against their own interests. This seems pretty simple to me, what don't you understand about that?

Book One: The Path to Power (1982)

In the first volume, The Path to Power, Caro retraced Johnson's life by temporarily moving to the Texas Hill Country and Washington, D.C., to better understand Johnson's upbringing and to interview anyone who had known Johnson. This volume covers Johnson's life through his failed 1941 campaign for the United States Senate. This book was released on November 12, 1982. It won the 1982 National Book Critics Circle Award. It was a finalist for the 1983 National Book Award, hardcover Autobiography or Biography.[1]
Book Two: Means of Ascent (1990)

In the second volume, Means of Ascent, Caro detailed Johnson's life from the aftermath of Johnson's first bid to his election to the Senate in 1948. Much of the book deals with Johnson's bitterly contested Democratic primary against Coke R. Stevenson. This book was released on March 7, 1990.
Book Three: Master of the Senate (2002)

In the third volume, Master of the Senate, Caro chronicles Johnson's rapid ascent in the United States Congress, including his tenure as Senate majority leader. This 1167-page work examines in particular Johnson's battle to pass a landmark civil rights bill through Congress without it tearing apart his party, whose southern bloc was anti-civil rights and northern members were more pro-civil rights. Although its scope was limited, the ensuing Civil Rights Act of 1957 was the first such legislation since Reconstruction. This book was released on April 23, 2002.

It won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography, the 2002 National Book Award for Nonfiction,[2] and the 2002 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography.
Book Four: The Passage of Power (2012)

In the 736-page fourth volume, The Passage of Power, Caro covers Johnson's life from 1958 to 1964, the challenges Johnson faced upon his assumption of the presidency, and the significant accomplishments in the months after Kennedy’s assassination.[3] The book was released on May 1, 2012.

Great quote of LBJ. That describes it perfectly.
