What's with all this hatred for boomers?

Is it a need to find somebody to blame? Disinformation trolls trying to get us to hate somebody other than Bush?

This boomer grew up knowing that the MSM wasn't reporting things the way I saw them. (I figured that out during the Goldwater presidential campaign when I'd hear a Goldwater speech and then the commentator would try to tell me what I'd just heard. Even as a youngster, I knew there was an agenda!)

Cronkite and David Brinkley are too old to fall within the boomer group.

And how can those boomers born between 1946-1964 be draining social security? (Somebody born in 1946 is only 59 this year!)

Thanks for the ping, Tonk. Saved the "UnderFire" link to look at the 'Nam pics.

I blame the Boomers for helping tear this country up in the 60's and 70's with their selfishenss. They weren't against the Viet Nam war as musc as against their personal involvement in it.

Boomers have become the Most Hypocritical Generation...first with Never Trust Anyone Over 30 and being anti establishment to becoming the It's All About Me generation and becoming the Establishment.

The same people who mocked me for joining the military in the 70's confided some 20 years later that wished that they had done so also. Yeah, right.

You are a bright person. I didn't wise up until the Mondale campaign, and later the Dukakis run put me over the top. I knew that guy was bad news. "The Massachusetts Miracle," ha, what a joke.
