Douglas Caddy Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I found it fascinating that George Reedy, LBJ's longtime press secretary, said he had concluded LBJ was a manic-depressive and had bouts of these attacks perhaps five times a day. This was after LBJ became president. Reedy and others came to question LBJ's sanity. It could well be that his knowing how JFK was killed was driving LBJ mentally mad.

Paul Brancato Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I never forgot the revulsion I felt when LBJ first spoke to the nation after JFK's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Hancock Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Heck Paul, I'll never forget the revulsion I felt every time I heard him speak....although that final "I'm not running again" speech was a real bright spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brancato Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 All I can say, after watching this, is wow. Thanks For posting. though it's title is RFK vs LBJ, it should have been JEH vs MLK. I hope more people listen. Hoover was completely obsessed with destroying King, and it clearly had nothing to do with 'communist influence'.
