Back in 1968 when Rennie Davis and Hayden and their guys
-
organized the SDS,
-
it was specifically to end the Vietnam War.
-
But that movement got eaten by Abbie Hoffman
-
and Jerry Rubin and the Yippies.
-
Hoffman and Rubin were a lot more charismatic.
-
Yeah, but it was impossible to define what the Yippies were protesting.
-
They were about giving the finger to anyone over 30,
-
generically hating the American establishment,
-
- dropping out, and getting high. - And?
-
That's how the progressive movement
-
would be painted for the next 40 years.
