I think the author is correct about the overall effect of the 1960s on the overall culture, but he underestimates the effect on the rat party. That's when they became moonbats, and the moonbats started taking over the rat's leadership.

Exactly. Michael Barone had an article a couple of months ago along the same lines. “you can’t be authentic if you weren’t a hippie in the sixties. Whatever...

Aww crap: “That’s when they became moonbats, and the moonbats started taking over the rat’s leadership.”

The key element here, repeated in piece after piece, is that Romney was “untouched by the ‘60s.”

At the Democrat convention in 1968, the Yippies were rioting in Grant Park.

At the Democrat convention in 1972, the rioters were in the hall -- running the affair.

From 1968 forward, the Democrat party has been increasingly radicalized by left-wing anti-American crowd spawned by the sixties.

William Ayers is the prototype.

I'll take a leader in the 50's mold.

Sounds more refreshing than a post-modern, "sexually warm" dog-eating, Afro-"american".

Hey all you Free Republic illiterates! Notice how the apostrophe goes BEFORE the 6 in 60s????

Yet you dolts continue to write 50's, 60's, 70's, etc.

Why are you people so stupid?

[Boogieman]

I think being “untouched by the ‘60s” is like being untouched by a child molestor. It’s a good thing.

It was a calculated effort that took decades.
