I was 11 years old when he left office. Too young to determine whether he was evil. What's your definition of evil? I mean, to some, Obama is evil and Putin is a respectable manly man. Not exactly consistent, IMO.
LBJ was no angel, and in fact could be a terrible SOB when he wanted to be. He was a bully that had no problem browbeating his fellow senators when he was the Majority leader. And i mean PHYSICALLY as well as a tongue lashing.
The flipside is that he would back down if he got strong pushback and he knew who he could and couldn't mess with. When he tried to work his way back into Senate power while still being the Vice President, Mike Mansfield told him to get the hell out of the Senate and don't come back unless he was called. The Kennedy Men in the White House OPENLY pushed him around and showed overt contempt for him.
But "evil" is a bit strong. He was certainly no more evil than his predecessors. You can make a case that Kennedy was far more evil than Johnson ever was.

read the article, plus I'm guessing he also had something to do with JFK's murder...
After all he was our evil man. He signed the Civil Rights Act and kept us in Vietnam. The first was good the second less so.
He sent us to Vietnam...Kennedy didn't want us to go, and fought it, and the corporations had way to much money to lose, I think it was 3 days after Johnson was sworn in, we went to Vietnam...he signed the bill to go.
