Not only is [the] government in the hands of the left, but virtually all of our nation's major institutions – from the public education system to our colleges and universities, from the news media to the entertainment industry, from the unions to our major philanthropic foundations, even many of our churches – have also been captivated by this same destructive ideology.

Destructive ideology.. if he ain't talking about Marxist-Alinsky street/campus rabble and their ideological issue then it must be Martians. Fifty years of mostly stealth infiltration and two presidents (Clinton and Obama) they have replaced our federal government ("Bring it all down, man.") with a fetteral government.

The youthful Marxist New Left and their dupes didn't have to infiltrate a large portion of the MSM -- guys like Walter "North Vietnam Communists' Most Trusted Man in America" Cronkite welcomed them.

I wanted some information about something I remembered almost 50 years ago, Goldwater and the 1964 convention in San Francisco.

Maligning "Tea Partiers" didn't just start today.

Back when Time was a real news magazine, tells truth.. and TV "news" was.. well, the same biased crap it's been for going on 50 years.

"While Everett Dirksen was nominating Barry Goldwater, both Cronkite [CBS] and Huntley [NBC] interspersed their own voices, passing comments and judgments on what Dirksen was saying, not giving the man a chance to deliver his speech as a whole. . . The networks have also to a considerable extent shut out the great [Goldwater] ground-swelling noises of the convention hall. Sound is half the atmosphere there, and it is thick enough to cut, but TV merely cuts it off or down . . . Spending all their time fussing over the latest developments among the sorry pack of obvious also-rans [Rockefeller, Scranton, et al], they made no real attempt to concentrate on the man [Goldwater] who had the nomination sewed up from the start. The TV coverage before the first ballot was largely focused on Scranton."

As the Time article noted "TV [deprives] audiences of the convention's overbearing sense of commotion. [For example w]hen Governor Rockefeller was loudly booed as he spoke last week, the booing was almost imperceptible [in America's living rooms]."

Rockefeller had five minutes to speak essentially in favor of branding Goldwater a KKK member -- that provoked a bit of response. Nelson replied with his middle finger. I remember the photo but I cannot find it. It was probably in Berkeley Barb or one of the other "underground" press publications.

The Marxist-Alinsky campus revolutionary rabble on the streets outside the convention are arguably now (along with their ideological children) the Clinton-Obama America Establishment.
