I found it really hard hitting that the "qualified" members of the panel were blue collar union leader, various big business reps, and a chick representing parents (whom i believe is based on Pyhlis Schiafly). Those days really were "US V THEM" as far as right wingers were concerned. Many in the Nixon administration truly believed it. Many people these mention "Weather Underground", and fair enough. But what about Karl Rove and the other original 'rat *beep* from the Committee to Re-Elect the President? Which as we know, was known as CREEP.
Not much is mentioned about the right wing organised "spontaneous counter protests" like the "hard hat riot" in NY which was co-ordinated by such seemingly different groups as the Mafia, NYPD & CREEP. The oft shouted slogan during the 68 Dem convention was "the whole world is watching" as Mayor Daley's storm troopers belted people on the actual convention floor! Forget about the street riots, there was more fun watching blue rinse house wives getting clubbed.
And who is the most vocal, the most supportive of crushing any idea's that dont agree with "the machine? Chickenhawks like Hannity, Beck, O'Reilly & Limbaugh (when he's not high!).
Ray Manzarak has said "America loves to kill it's children".
It's hard to disagree. The U.S. NEEDS an enemy. Always has done. Just since the 20th century there's been Germans (twice), Japanese, Nth Koreans, Chinese, Russians, Vietnamese, Cubans, Iranians, Iraqis, Iranians again. Communists, athiests - witches for God's sake! lol
Any i missed out?
