Lyndon Johnson lead?  Lol.  M L K took a bullet and he still gets white washed for the racist who spied on him?  Lol.  

And there are still meaningful non racial libertarian problems with the cra from 64 every time someone walks into a cake shop.

Do you want me to make a list of the other 17 dixiecrat senators?  The assassination attempts were in 1975.  Do you think any of those 17 were still in the Senate as Democrats at that time, and still proud of their votes in 1964 and 1965?  Bonus if they say they're both proud of their vote and also say that they're "left wing" or "liberal".  Let me know if you find one.

All but Strom Thurman stayed lifelong Democrats. You're putting the burden on us to prove they weren't sorrowful when you should prove they were. It seem more logical to believe that they were content with the choices they made just a couple years before the time period to speak about. 

Even Robert Byrd said they regretted how they behaved but then was the only senator to vote against Marshall and Thomas to the Supreme Court. He asked Hoover to investigate Marshall with allegations of communism. The communism line was played much like facism is today but much much worse. You applied it to those you dislike and hope you hurt them. This happened to MLK as you mentioned earlier. 

LBJ was a racist, and his legacy has been distorted.
