Letters to the Editor
-
when I first ran into the "Recreate 68" website, I wondered if it was an FBI/DHS sting operation ...
it purports to be a "gathering site" for coordination of demonstrations at the Democratic Convention in Denver next year ...
I thought it was a very bad idea ... although certainly the disappointing positions taken by the "front-running" democratic candidates wrt getting out of Iraq seemed vaguely analogous to the frustration the anti-war movement felt seeing business-as-usual at the 68 convention, resulting in Hubert Humphrey's nomination.
At the moment, I'm reconsidering, yet again, perhaps "Recreate 68" is the ultimate Karl Rove E-ticket to redeem the Rethugs ...
I'm considering taking some time off from monitoring all this ... it's all so dishonestly manipulative. As another letter writer said today elsewhere (I think in Glenn's blog), this is ALL about domestic politics ... it's all theatre for domestic advantage ... real world consequences hardly figure into the day-to-day posturing. We are so screwed.
