Why is it that only LBJ and FDR are referred to by their initials?

    Pointing out their glaring lack of knowledge doesn't seem to have much effect. But brava on the attachment.

    So, really no argument to support singling out a couple of recent Democrats as horrible racists among American Presidents in general. Got it. I stand by my assertion that neither LBJ or FDR stand out in any way as terrible racists except in your highly partisan Republican vs Democrat narrative.

    Just out of curiosity, are you only looking at US presidents, or just famous people in general?

    Well for one thing in regards to Barack Obama there are a number of his supporters and in the media thought that anything that reminded people his middle name is "Hussein" was an attempt to unfairly tar him with connections of Saddam Hussein and other Muslims.

    I wasn't aware of other famous people who are commonly known by their initials.

    Sarcasm and humor seem to be easily lost on you.

    I've heard Robert Downey Jr referred to as RDJ at times. Tolkien is often referred to as JRR, probably because that is how it's written on his books.

    I expected you to at least be able to make the connection that I was referring to something specific and look it up before responding, so that you would know what I am talking about. It's not like it was a specific part of the movie I was referring to.
