Book Review of Robert Caro's THE PASSAGE OF POWER
#18
Albert Doyle Wrote:Oooo. You must have very strong faith. 5 shot "suicides" with a rifle.

Why again did Lyndon want Jackie back in his car so badly the night before?

I suppose all the people who knew him and said bascially the same things were sleazy and Johnson was falsely accused?

Al, I asked for evidence, and I have yet to see any that involves LBJ in the assassination of JFK. There is no evidence or proof in what you have written here. I really must question your purpose. What are your sources? It is important to evaluate your sources as to reliability. That's what good researchers do, and I'd like to see you be a good researcher.

If you would read some history and other books, written by people who were aides and associates of either one of the two men, you should know that LBJ and JFK liked and respected each other. Some authors you might try are Ted Sorenson (2 books, KENNEDY and CONSELLOR); O'Donnell and Powers, JOHNNY, WE HARDLY KNEW YE; Horace Busby, THE THIRTY-FIRST OF MARCH; and the works of LBJ and JFK biographers. John Kennedy insisted on keeping Lyndon Johnson as his running mate in 1964, in spite of his brother's antipathy to the idea. Bobby Kennedy began to dislike LBJ when LBJ refused to accept father Joseph Kennedy's money to pay for LBJ's bid for the presidency in 1956 with the stipulation that JFK be his vice-presidency running mate. Bobby thought that was an insult to his father and to the entire Kennedy family.

However, during the 1956 convention balloting for the vice-presidential nomination, Lyndon Johnson, as head of the Texas delegation, gave all the Texas delegate votes to John Kennedy. As it turned out, Estes Kefauver won the V-P nomination to run with Adlai Stevenson for president. Doesn't sound like LBJ disliked JFK, does it?. It's in Sorenson's book on Kennedy, and in Dallek's biogrphy on LBJ.

Do some research on your own, and learn to analyze data. Stop believing everything you read in suspicious sensationalistic publications.

I am really trying to be of some help to you and also to others here.
