Lisa Dent - a talk radio host - Mon. through Fri. 2pm till 6pm - Chicago Talk Radio - WGN - interviews - on May 15 - 2024 - Prof. Hermene Hartman about the Democratic Convention in Chicago 1968 Versus Democratic Convention Coming to Chicago's - Huge - United Center - From Aug. 19 - 2024 through Aug. 22 - 2024.
If anybody is old enough - they vividly remember the huge, huge debacle which happened during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago from Aug. 26 - 1968 till Aug. 29 - 1968. In a nutshell - the Chicago Police under the leadership of a famous Democratic Chicago mayor - Richard J. Daley - had to use force against the multitudes of violent, anarchistic Yippies who attacked the police with various excrements' "packets" as well as with the "urine balloons" - in addition to various hard objects hurled at the police - which severely hurt several policemen - during the anarchists' - refusal to disperse from the park across the street from the Hilton Hotel on Michigan Avenue where the Democratic National Convention was held.
What's interesting - however - is that the Leftist Chicago press covering the event - totally ignored many ugly behaviors of many sorts - perpetrated by the violent anarchists - which - subsequently - came to light - as it always happens - while the Leftist Chicago press - exaggerated a lot of the actions of the Chicago Police - who - B.T.W. - could use the water cannons instead of the Billy clubs. The bloody faces of the - mostly - youthful anarchists - did not present well on the TV screens all over this country and abroad.
Long story - short - according to many political commentators - as a result of such a despicable display of violent behaviors - the Democratic candidates - Hubert Humphery - the presidential candidate - and Ed Muskie - the vice-presidential contender - were defeated - in the Fall 1968 presidential elections - by the Republicans - presidential candidate Richard Nixon and the vice-presidential contender - Spiro Agnew.
Happy Memorial Day Weekend 2024 - Everybody!
