This is why Nelson's book has some usefulness. It shows why Johnson and his corruption could never be labeled "friendly' to Kennedy.
Adele Edisen Wrote:Kennedy and Johnson were not enemies of each other. They were seeking the same democratic goals. Lyndon Johnson succeeded in getting a stronger Civil Rights Act passed, the voting Rights Act passed, the Freedom of Information Act passed, and through his Executive Order, put teeth into the Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the only title listing gender as a factor in employmet discrimination. Since colleges and universities were exempted from coverage in the original 1964 Act, Johnson's Executive Order provided a legal basis so that women, along with minorities, people of different national origins and religions, could effectively sue those employers, a very important and necessary issue because of the enormous discrimination in our colleges and universities. Kennedy wanted similar goals, so what reason would Johnson have had to murder his friend and colleague? Let's not revise and rewrite our history, please.
In my opinion, in no way could these progressive gestures be described as being "pro-Kennedy". I think they were perks being used to assuage the public after murdering their leader. If the Military Industrial Complex that murdered Kennedy could be seen as a body that promoted liberal progress it would lessen the bite of the fascist coup d-etat of which Johnson was a key member. To not understand this is to not understand the key critical mechanics of the Assassination. None of those progressive perks change or modify Johnson's conscious participation in the coup. Johnson knew it was coming. He tried to get Jackie to sit back in his car and replace (I think it was) Yarborough for Connally. More southern hospitality and gentlemanly-ness I guess!
Also, Jack and Bobby were about to prosecute Lyndon in the Bobby Baker corruption scandal.

No insult intended, but I suggest you research Johnson's murderous corruption in Texas and ask yourself if that would have suddenly changed once he took the office of the Vice President? The "facts" of this case is Johnson did everything he was expected to do by the killers after Kennedy was dead. Don't look at the liberal perks, look at the Viet Nam War and empowerment of a covert government to fathom Johnson's true hand.
