"Turns out the source of that supposed saying by Lyndon B. Johnson "I'll have them ******* voting Democratic for two hundred years"
first originated in Ronald Kessler's 1996 book
Inside the White House: The Hidden Lives of the Modern Presidents and the Secrets of the World's Most Powerful Institution,
sourced from a 1993 interview with former Air Force One steward Robert M. MacMillan.
An allegation made 20 years after LBJ's death.
Actually....no.
"A source for information about LBJ who is not a partisan hack, dirty trickster and MLK-adultery publicist is Robert M. MacMillan, Air Force One steward during the Johnson administration. Macmillan reports that when LBJ was flying on Air Force One with two governors once, he boasted, “I’ll have them ******* voting Democratic for two hundred years.”

Did you want Kessler to exhume LBJ and ask him?
What a ******* tard!
You mean THE ONE STEWARD WHO SAID HE SAID IT, NOT the writer who just propagated the myth?
Time to make you eat more crow....
"[LBJ] called me 'boy,' '******,' or 'chief,' never by my name... Whenever I was late, no matter what the reason, Johnson called me 'a lazy good for nothing ******'...I was afraid of him because of the pain and humiliation he could inflict at a moment's notice."-- Robert Parker, LBJ's chauffeur, in his autobiography, "Capital Hill in Black and White".
ONE person said that was true, almost 2 decades AFTER LBJ died, lol
From a review of Robert Parker's book "Capitol Hill in Black and White"..
"This book is an absolute MUST READ if you want to understand Lyndon Johnson. Black man Robert Parker was LBJ's factotum, chauffeur and later climbed to the maître d' of the prestigious Senate Dining Room.
This is one of the best books I have ever read about Lyndon Johnson as well as one of the best political books I have read. Robert Parker attached himself to the coattails of Lyndon Johnson and worked his way up to a patronage job as the maître de of the Senate Dining Room.
Parker was in place for the civil rights movement of the 1960's; he helped to facilitate meetings of civil rights leaders and due to his networking with senators and their families he became a power player in his own right.
The racism of Lyndon Johnson is on full display in this book as Robert Parker offers up several fascinating LBJ anecdotes that illustrate his boorish cruelty.- LBJ told Parker just shut up and pretend you are a piece of GD furniture."
Everything said in this thread about LBJ is absolutely true.
