@DRush76 No need to be ignorant. Without Lyndon Johnson, Civil Rights legislation would never have been passed. He was the reason it was passed in 1957 as Senate Majority Leader and it was he who was able to get lawmakers to vote in favor in 1964 and 1965. She in no way downplayed MLK's role, she simply stated that you cannot deny the fact that Lyndon Johnson brought his dream to life through his legislative prowess.

This really pisses me off. LJB would have NEVER had the opportunity to sign the Civil Rights Bill if it were not for the efforts of MLK and God knows how many faceless people - of all ethnic background - who brought the fight of the Civil Rights movement to the foreground.
How dare she?? I'm a Democrat and I would never vote for her . . . not after this.

What Hillary failed to realize is that the idea of equality would have never come about and her precious LBJ would have never signed of on the civil rights act if Dr. King and the great men and women among him fought the many fights warranted...

The Dem primaries were stolen by Barry Soetoro AKA Obama..yeah, I laugh at the fools who voted for that phony! We are losing jobs-health care is not a reform, it is to make more money for the crooks...WHAT A MISTAKE. Oh well we did electe our 1st Blk prez?? Or did we???

Hillary is a demagogue, and a liar.
MLK may have created the bandwagon. LBJ hitched the horses to the wagon. JFK was hesitant to push the legislation. JFK & MLK had no sway over the dominant southern senators who ruled the committees via the seniority system. They, except Ralph Yarborough (D-Texas), hated Kennedy, esp. RFK & MLK. They didn't need MLK/JFK to stay in power. JFK=weak senator with no respect among southern senators. Politics works for those who know how to use it.. LBJ=master legislator. JFK was not!
