[edit] Portrait Issue?
It might be a good idea to reduce the size of President Johnson's portrait, as it seems to be fairly ginormous. 19:08, 17 April 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.122.200 (talk)
[edit] Allegations as to statements by Jackie Kennedy
I removed the recent "cited" addition because is not factually correct. The "cited" sources that made statements (in August, 2011, before the book was released in Sept. 2011) were only generating scandalous copy and if one, for example reads the "Daily Mail" article, they don't quote what is on the tapes (and also in the book). Instead, the writer makes statements, including the words, "believed to include" and "allegedly reveal". Near the end of the article the writer does state, " 'A spokesman for ABC said the claims about the content of the tapes were erroneous'." The FOX News article cited, uses the words, "reportedly reveal". The Fox News article writer does go on to state: "The tabloid reports about the content of the tapes are totally erroneous," an ABC News spokesperson said in a statement to FoxNews.com. "ABC News isn't releasing any content from those tapes until mid-September at which point it will be clear how off base these reports are." The writer then goes on to quote the "Daily Mail". I have reviewed the book in question and the "alleged" content is not there. The matter in the end has: WP:FRINGE and WP:VERIFY problems. Kierzek (talk) 04:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
[edit] protection
I would like to ask for {{Edit semi-protected}} on this article.
- Then please visit WP:RFPP and make a request--Jac16888 Talk 22:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Great Society
This section should mention the programs he initiated and extended: Food Stamps and Aid to Families with Dependent Children(AFDC) program begun in the 1930's and what their legacies were rather than David Frum's opinion. In particular, there was a problem with impoverished children so the existing AFDC program was extended. Concerns about multi-generational dependency on welfare led to the entire program's bipartisan repeal in 1996. The Food Stamps program continues and childhood hunger is no longer an issue. Any thoughts on this article section? --Javaweb (talk) 20:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Javaweb
[edit] Johnson's Civil Rights record in the Senate
An excellent reference if anyone wants to do research:
[edit] THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY
There is a comment in this article on the TV series THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY, which ran on THE HISTORY CHANNEL and had an installment that accused LBJ of conspiring to assassinate JFK. This particular program is infamous, since it led to protests by LBJ loyalists, as well as Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. THE HISTORY CHANNEL assembled a committee of scholars to examine the claims of the show; they concluded they had no merit, THE HISTORY CHANNEL yanked the show and apologized to the Johnson family.
This was reverted. I am not protesting, nor do I have any interest in an explanation of why it was reverted. I am just leaving this comment here to make the facts known, and then going about my business. What gets printed or not in Wikipedia is an issue not worth anything exceeding the threshold of bother. MrG 70.56.53.105 (talk) 19:52, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- First, Mr.G., thanks for the accurate abstract. I removed a reference to the show because it reflects mostly on a History Channel acknowledged abject failure and this Wikipedia article is on a different subject. As even the broadcaster thinks it is crap, who needs it. --Javaweb (talk) 01:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Javaweb
