But, Rob Reiner being a very loyal Democrat dutifully ignored this historic event while portraying Johnson as a buffoon compared to the Kennedy's.
The Democrats just hate to talk about and acknowledge two politicians:
Lyndon Johnson and George McGovern.
George McGovern opposed Johnson's war in Vietnam and Johnson ended up endorsing George McGovern for president... a point Rob Reiner completely omitted from his movie even though this meeting would have made for a perfect conclusion to the movie.
In many ways Lyndon Johnson was both the best president ever and one of the worst; while George McGovern was the Democrat's best candidate ever... bar none.
One would think this meeting on its own would be worthy of study and discussion... even a movie or a play.
This is a photo of the Johnson-McGovern meeting at the Johnson Ranch in Texas Hill Country but the LBJ Library refuses to make the notes, audio and video recordings of the meeting public. Why? Because Johnson with his hair grown long acknowledged by supporting McGovern that we can not have war and a "Great Society" at the same time?

Why is it no other researchers have insisted this material be made public?
Certainly Rob Reiner's researchers for the movie "LBJ" must have been aware of this important meeting?
According to the New York Times their meeting lasted over three hours. Certainly the American people are entitled to know the content of this discussion; aren't we?
Are we being denied what transpired at this meeting between Johnson and McGovern because of this ongoing debate?
