Chicago 1968: The Night the Democratic Party Died

Fifty years ago tonight, a great American political party was murdered by its own children and closest friends.

The party in question was the Democratic party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and JFK, which perished during the riots in Grant Park, Chicago, on the night of Aug. 28, 1968, in the midst of the party’s national convention.

Its children in this case were the rioters from the anti–Vietnam War Left. After killing off the traditional liberal Democratic party they despised, they would go on to take over the corpse and make it the host of America’s radical Left, from Jerry Brown to Bernie Sanders — with George McGovern, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama as their front men.

The friends who joined in the kill were the mainstream media. Their coverage of the riots, that night and later, would make the SDS demonstrators and their violent cohorts — the predecessors of today’s antifa — into martyrs of “police brutality” and Chicago mayor Richard J. Daley’s “Gestapo tactics,” as one Democratic senator from Connecticut put it in a speech to the convention that night, when they had in fact been — like today’s antifa — the deliberate instigators of mayhem and bloodshed. Starting that night the New York Times, the Washington Post, and ABC and CBS News would become the enablers of America’s radical Left, even at its most violent — and in the process cut themselves off from the millions of ordinary working Americans who had made the Democratic party their political home.

"There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. I don’t think eulogizing will do him justice. He was that great – much more than a superb musician with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He is the very spirit personified of whatever is muddy river country at its core and screams up into the spheres. He really had no equal.
To me he wasn’t only a musician and friend, he was more like a big brother who taught and showed me more than he’ll ever know. There are a lot of spaces and advances between the Carter family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic and subtle. There’s no way to convey the loss. It just digs down really deep."

Thom, I watched the brutal actions and reactions of Mayor Daly and the Chicago police during the convention on TV. Did you see it go down?

There is almost nothing as heart-wrenching as seeing young people being set-up and brutalized, especially by people in uniform acting out of fear, anger and "duty".

It was an awful time.

I was living in Hong Kong at the time, TV's didn't really exist over there back then...  

Funny how the Law and Order party now despises veterans, our safety net, our safety forces, our free will, and love of country...   would rather be treasonous and support Russia than their fellow Democratic Americans.

I call BS of the highest order Thom, and award Dumber than Dogshit points to the spineless, traitorous, and hypocritical Right...  may you reap what you sow!

Unconditional love to all, I believe that you believe what you believe, I've seldom disagreed with people I have so much fondness for, you're mistaken, but I know you mean well.
