Ummm, I don't see the problem here.

Hyberbolic BS makes you less credible when telling the truth, and that is exactly what this is...

[libdestroyer]

Satan doesn’t care if anyone worships him. He wants people to worship THEMSELVES and nobody did that better than the baby boomer generation.

[Shadow44]

Blunt, but accurate.

What’s offensive about it? That it doesn’t falsely credit them for changing the world for a better place?

[mnehring]

I’m more offended by the blanket accusations against Rock musicians.

[VanDeKoik]

What about the hippies that were Christians?

[Williams]

Hey don’t forget they managed to turn South East Asia into a communist prison camp killing millions in the process, and they did all this despite the fact communism was going to collapse everywhere else in a few years.

That’s what I call an accomplishment.

[Joe Boucher]

I’ve been a hippie for 42 years
and I’n no damn satan guy.
Christian here. Anti moose limb, anti obammy or satan as I call the turd

[Stand W]

And....?

“They went to Canada or European countries to escape being drafted into military services. [MANY DID] Many young people turned to drugs and immoral lifestyles [PROBABLY MOST]; these youth became known as hippies. They went without bathing, wore dirty, ragged, unconventional clothing, and deliberately broke all codes of politeness or manners. [MOST DID] Rock music played an important part in the hippie movement and had great influence over the hippies. [AND STILL DOES] Many of the rock musicians they followed belonged to Eastern religious cults or practiced Satan worship.” [VERY TRUE FOR '60-'70's]

Other than being guilty of generalizations, I don't see anything here that's untrue at all.

[ifinnegan]

Pretty darn concise, succinct and accurate.

This should serve as an example to emulate.

[DesertSapper]

Hippies were Satan worshipers, according to history book

Not according to the testbook quotes in the article:
"Many of the rock musicians they followed belonged to Eastern religious cults or practiced Satan worship"
Unless my eyes are deceiving me, that associates satan worship with the musicians, not with their hippie followers.

"They went without bathing, wore dirty, ragged, unconventional clothing, and deliberately broke all codes of politeness or manners."

Sounds a bit like this guy on the left.

There was a program on Hippies shown on “The History Channel” maybe a year ago.

I watched most of it and was surprised when they said it had it’s start with Satanic worship. I don’t recall the details but they were pretty matter of factually saying it was so.

And they couldn’t drive worth a damn. Name one hippie champion race car driver. None. Not one. They could never figure out what the clutch was for. It was those filthy, stinking hippies that did away with the “Four On The Floor” and muscle cars. They can all rot in he** with their rusty Volkswagens with burned up clutches. Jackasses thought a 4-4-2 was a telephone number.

[P.O.E.]

As with everything, there was good and bad associated with the movement.

Nothing wrong with Peace and Love per se, but in many cases it was co-opted into anti-war/anti-capitalism and immorality.

[plain talk]

“I don’t see a problem here”

Hippies I knew didn’t worship satan. And this is designed for Jr Highschoolers. I don’t like garbage propaganda whether it comes from the left or the right or ... in this case ... Mars. “Dinosaurs walked alongside men” .. Yeah right.

[Revolting cat!]

Not only that, but they also hippie, hippie, shook!

[muir_redwoods]

Ahh, no...
