re: #317 zombie
Hey zombie - please see my #302 above. In point of fact, the mass demonstrations against the Vietnam war did as much as anything to bring that war to an end. Street demonstrations (which, unlike the one you cited at the ‘68 Dem convention) that are more or less peaceful or are at least covered as peaceful by the MSM can have an ENORMOUS impact on public thinking. Let the Left run wild in the street is ceding to the Left that which ALSO belongs to us (I am, of course, talking about non-violent protests of which there were many, with hundreds of thousands of people in attendance during the Vietnam War).
