I don't think any progressives deny that. We understand that LBJ did this. Yes, the Democrats own a good portion of the war (although not the later horrific escalation of the war under Nixon).<br />We progressives don't try to hide the fact that LBJ sent in the combat troops. That's why we rioted at the Dem convention in 1968.<br />We progressives hold LBJ as a key figure responsible for the war. And we believe the war was a horrible mistake.<br />(You know, it'd be nice if the GOP ever admitted that Iraq was a horrible mistake).<br /><br />"Alleged crimes" (?)<br />Yeah, whatever.Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-9353977625052909782013-11-27T16:04:50.150-06:002013-11-27T16:04:50.150-06:00Of course, let's not forget that it was libera...Of course, let's not forget that it was liberal democrats forced us into the Vietnam War and had to draft hundreds of young men to fight in it against their will.

I'm glad to see that he has returned to an active career.Marc McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17105754072842852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-81125979746099014072013-08-20T18:14:16.202-05:002013-08-20T18:14:16.202-05:00I think that "Valentine's day" and &...I think that "Valentine's day" and "I'd rather be high" from the latest album "The next day" have political messages too...:-)<br />Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124749071443837955noreply@blogger.com
