Videos: Democratic National Convention, Chicago August 28, 1968

A bunch of great video clips from that time,
everything changes and everything remains the same.



Senator Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee reflects on how in 1964, LBJ promised we would not send our boys to a land war in Asia, and won by a 64% landslide. But within a few months, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution is passed by Congress giving the Administration a blank check to rapidly escalate the Vietnam War. Gore reminds the delegates how costly this has been.

The two commentators that night were Buckley and Vidal.

Buckley:"Now listen, you queer,
you stop calling me a crypto-Nazi
or I'll sock you in the goddamn face and you'll stay plastered." to Vidal

Vidal: It's like living under a Soviet Regime..."

"Buckley:...don't infer a case of implicit totalitarianism of the American System."

Vidal: "We have the right according to the Constitution of freedom of peaceful assembly."

Buckley: "Every time we develop something like Mace for instance...everybody goes hog mad over its use... "
