[Revolting cat!]

The Yippies were at first anarchist (good) before they went communist (not good.)

[EveningStar]

Neither did I. I did hear of the Yippies, though.

[EveningStar]

Some silly commie :)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Heck, I don't even remember the Yippies!!!!

WHOOOOOOO boy. Coulda been I was busy raising my young family???

Dang. What a bunch of freaks.

[NormsRevenge]

different source .. similar content. Thanks

ap probably pulled a lot of their info from the Oregonian.

[iPod Shuffle]

Shilling for mass murderers like Mao and Ho Chi Minh is "idealistic" according to the MSM.

[TC Rider]

Stew? LOL

Don't forget the Mrs., "Gumbo".

[NormsRevenge]

Looks like ap used about 2/3rd of the oregonian article for theirs... oh well.

[SamKeck]

Chalk up another one who won't be missed in these precincts.

[dynachrome]

Heck, I might have seen him when I attended Nixon's inaugural in 1972. I wasn't an invited guest. You can probably guess what my politics were then. :) Thanks for the ping. It was kind of like a flashback.

[Billthedrill]

Thanks for the ping - it tends to get blurred over time, but the Yippies were quite distinct from the rest of the "revolutionary" bunch in that (1) they knew the whole thing was a joke, and (2) they were raising merry hell simply for the fun of it. That does not negate the damage they did - the "passion" of OUR generation condemned the Vietnamese people to three decades of communist oppression.

[joesnuffy]

"I imagine Americans secretly miss the passion of my generation," he wrote of that experience.

Not even close you schmuck..not even close...guess its kinda moot now..

No one screwed Viet Nam vets more than you types,John Kerryand Walter Cronkite

never the less R.I.P. and your so called movement with you...

imo

[RedBloodedAmerican]

HEY! My oldest sis was a Yippie when we lived in Portland in the 60s! Then we moved to Florida and she became a Zippie!

[537cant be wrong]

over hheeeeaaaaw or over theeeeeaw

I do know that dying of liver cancer is quite exruciating, based on research.

oh really? Where'd you do the research?

I thought that you built up serum ammonia and went to sleep...not painful...or developed varices on the esophagus and bled out. By that time your serum ammonia level is sky high, you're comatose or at best obtunded and difficult to arouse. If you die of liver failure then you fail to produce albumin, are unable to maintain your blood pressure and quietly slip into a coma as your blood pressure drops and you 3rd space all your fluids. In other words you turn yellow, then you die.

He was a "yippee", whatever that meant. He lived and now he's dead. Big whup-dee-doo.

The only reason he's mentioned by the AP (Al-Jazeera Press) is that he hated our country, capitalism and liberty...other than that he was just some "guy" who didn't produce anything of value, didn't affect anyone of importance and didn't leave a mark on anything but a police blotter and the vague memory of a bunch of wasted, hemp heads and free loaders...yawn, my dog "Champy's" death affected me more than this clown.

[MacDorcha]

Stew and Gumbo?

What is this, soulfood mates?

[headstamp]

All in all, I'd say an entirely wasted life from this litany of "accomplishments".

[Tribune7]

Albert was born Dec. 4, 1939, in Brooklyn, N.Y., an only child.

Just to point this out, but Stew was not a Boomer and was over 30 in 1970.

[Hong Kong Expat]

Actually, it was Eisenhower who condemned the Vietnamese to the Commies.

When Ho Chi Minh was fighting the French, the US sided with France forcing them to turn to the Soviets/Chinese.

[true_blue_texican]

Hey Hong Kong Expat,

while the frogs seriously screwed the pooch in Le Indochine, Ike refused to allow massive bombing in the hills around Dien Bien Phu. It would have been the end of Ho!!

It's the little decisions in life that make BIG consequences years later.
