Letter to the Editor

Those of us who can remember clearly the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, can cheerfully recall that the lunatic fringe of the democratic party, mostly ignorant young people, organized a time of riots and chaos in the streets and attempted to do the same inside the convention hall.

It was wild, sometimes violent, and very disruptive. The Chicago police were lukewarm in their response, and the riotous behavior was widely televised.

It destroyed any chance of responsible, thinking Americans taking seriously a democratic nominee as President of the United Sates. Richard Nixon coasted to victory as the democrats imploded.
