Reply #48: Did you support the Democrats inside or outside the '68 Convention in Chicago? [View All]

[David Zephyr]

You see, there in lies the great rub.

You go after IndianaGreen, essentially suggesting that she is not welcome at the Democratic Underground, and question her credentials as a Democrat.

Is it her stand for peace and against war that upsets you so? Is it her stand against corporatism over the individual that riles you up so much as to point the door to her? Is it her command of the those uncomfortable facts that she is always armed with that gets at you so much?

Like you, I am also a life-long Democrat and an activist, even a street activist. For me, the activist always came and comes before the Democratic Party establishment.

In my eyes, the Democrats outside the Convention in 1968 were better Democrats than the pro-war corporatist inside that year.

I ask you, since you were "a Democrat in the '60s" as you say : Did you support the Democrats inside or outside the '68 Convention in Chicago? Which is it?

Were you a Humphrey Democrat or a Tom Hayden Democrat?

I think we both already know, don't we?
