The LBJ quote is attributed to a book, "Inside the White House," by Ronald Kessler. From what wikipedia says about him (and for what wikipedia is worth) he seems like a well respected journalist with a fair number of mainstream credentials. The reviews of the book are generally positive and indicate it was equally tough on both GOP and Democrat presidents.

This would seem to indicate that the LBJ story referenced by the so-called GOP website is as likely as not accurate.


The term "democratic plantation" is a GOP talking point though. Your party can't count on just the white votes anymore but instead of competing for other votes we get this shit.

As for LBJ, LBJ helped black people to actually get to vote and put an end to desegregation. He has a much more well known (and sourced quote) about how the dems would lose the south for generations because of the civil rights legislation he helped pass and signed into law.

Fair play!
