Sen. Hillary Clinton, in this interview with Major Garrett, seems to imply that President Lyndon Johnson was more of a "doer" for the civil rights movement than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

    And she claims Obama is the one playing the race card!! She's such a bitch! Is she trying to say that She would be the type to sign civil rights over Obama?

    What about the bus boycotts and the sit-ins and all of the people that died to show that freedom was more important to them than life in an oppressive society? It didn't start there? Come on Billary! LBJ called JFK an SOB after he was assassinated. He wasn't doing what he thought was right. He was doing what he had to do given the state of the nation and the pressures that the civil rights movement required of him.

    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...

    All Civil Rights bills were passed by Congress, not by any Presidents. They were always passed by Republicans. The 1964 bill was passed by 82% Republicans and only 60% of democrats in the Senate. All Civil Rights bills including the 1964 bill from Kennedy were written by Republicans. The 1964 bill was a watered down copy from the 1875 bill passed by Republicans that Democrats overturned after 1888.

    The democratic party is the party of slavery, segregation and White Supremacy. Totalitarians.

    The 1957 Civil Rights Act 1) allowed the justice department to investigate claims of civil rights violations, 2) allowed charges to be brought against those suspected of violating civil rights, and 3) (the reason this Act was basically useless) it allowed for state courts (and state court selected juries) to prosecute these cases. This Act did propel political incrementalism and LBJ played a MAJOR role in its passage. Concerning MLK, MLK and LBJ were working differnt sides of the same street.
