and the Vietnam war lasted for 7 years with Nixon. These protesters better change their venue to Milwaukee where the RNC convention is going to be, instead of Chicago for the Democratic Convention. Visions of 1968?????

to Randi Rhodes I post her podcasts on Liberal You Tubers, listen to her 25th April podcast. I got this from Randi. It's the GOP who did not do anything like send aid to Gaza. President Biden is not the villain it's Netanyahu and Hammas, both bad.

Sure Nixon was no saint but he pales in comparison to TSF.

The Democrats rejected the Peace candidates McCarthy and Kennedy and selected the "More of the same" candidate Humphrey.

At first he was supportive of LBJ and his tactics but later called for negotiations for an end to the war.

Did you expect Dems to haul his casket into the convention?

If not for his assassination, Kennedy would have won the nomination and beat Nixon easily.

Humphrey was well ahead of Kennedy in delegates and would have won the nomination easily.

Randi Rhodes has being seing the same comparisons . as well as the incumbant president's populace accomplishments
bringing senior Americans out of poverty with medicare etc .

the blowback of violence in the streets cops v protesters was voting
for nixon .

It's why Randi is encouraging anti war protesters to protest the RNC instead of the DNC .

Proud Patriot. Randi showed this clip from Fox News. I think a reporter was asking a protestor what does "from the river to the sea" mean the protestor did not know. The reporter told her the river is the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

There needs to be good information and not propaganda to be assimilated to these protestors.
