re: #78 Anymouse

You might want to take some time to read Jim Wright at Stonekettle Station on his experience during George Wallace’s campaigns. He notes that this is nothing like what was going on in the Sixties.

I’ve heard that pointed out on more than one occasion, that as nasty as this election has gotten, it still doesn’t hold a candle to the 60’s in general and ‘68 in particular. People despairing over the fabric of our nation and worrying that this election will leave it permanently frayed need remember that we survived the assassination of a presidential candidate. The system has a way of righting itself, even if it involves a shitload of screaming and yelling along the way.
