The Democrat party was just falling apart when the liberals took over the party, and conservatives left the democratic party. Democrat party has become divided between the conservative dimocrats, and newly arrival liberals who seeks to take over the democratic party. Liberals successfully taken over the democratic party.

The worst thing is Richard Daley's actions and the actions of the lead protesters (Hayden, Hoffman etc) probably turned the vote and put in someone who was so much more dangerous than the right winged Democrats. I'm curious how they all view their actions now

If I were a policeman there, I would have busted every dadgum hippie I could get my stick on. The only good hippie is a bleeding hippie.

Spiro Angnew and Richard Nixon standing on a platform of law and order ? .. Angew had to resign his office of vice President... a little matter of tax evasion. Of course Nixon didn't fair much better, he became the first President of the United States to resign.

Fucking pigs. The pigs today still have that mentality. Nothing has changed.

And stupid ugly ass Pat Buchanan has to put his stupid comments in.

[Claronium780]

The Senator was right ! Mayor Daly should've been shot !

[StunnaShades09]

Fuck Nixon.

[pucksterz12]

The Nixon administration will always be known as the biggest disrace in American history - can't belive that guy was ever in a position of "leadership".

About the hippie rioters:

"An evil man is bent only on rebellion; a merciless official will be sent against him."

from a tactical perspective, mayor Daly made a big snafu! if he had granted permits, the crowd would have waved the signs, did the megaphone bit, walked around, then would have wandered off to the art galleries, cafes and clubs etc.

The same piss and vinegar that drove so many cretins to support Vietnam is what drove the "On to Baghdad" crowd. Funny thing about war is that it tends to relieve the toughguys of their youthful anger. Always a tough lesson, but the fools who slept through history class are doomed to suffer from what they don't understand.

[moonspots01]

Far too sympathetic to the sh*tbag hippies who have ruined this country.

[chunkybutt420]

GOD DAMN HIPPIES!!!!

[Creep5]

Worthless friggin' hippies.

[ClanBez]

where do these comments come from? An attack on Don, but what about the song? Did you guys even listen?

Gestapo Tactics

[twolaneblacktop70]

the legacy of the counter-culture is not a good one. in retrospect they left the world a worse place. the hippies children are now shooting heroin, shooting up schools, we have aids, broken families, greed. a message for hippies, what you have condemned, you have become!

[maxime32]

True, real life later separated those who really care about social justice and peace from those who just hate all authority and want to do what *they* feel like.

[hotprofdude]

This is fucking stupid. I guess you'd probably disagree that the CC ended the Vietnam War, right?

[sidwerd1hater]

A.I.D.S. has nothing to do with the hippies and even if it were, the A.I.D.S. would've spread because there were no known records of the disease until a year later, and even then it was so low that it passed the disease radar and went undetected until 15 years later. As for the shooting up schools, the worst school massacre was in Austin in 1966, two years before the hippies.

[grubbyfingers]

this reminds me of the fight and hatred between the supporters of pro-hillary and pro-obama

[hotprofdude]

Your comment really confirms within my mind that no matter how smart American try to be, they still come off sounding like the biggest fucking idiots.

[Hellesbelle]

I hope you mean United States of Americans - we are trying - now, let's move on.
