I’m reading a wonderful story about the goings on in Miami and Chicago in August 1968. The wingnuts of the time were no less rabid in their efforts to marginalize an already unimpressive HHH in his bid for the presidency against Tricky Dicky than they are today with BarryO. At the time the radical right did not have FoxNews to do the twist truth, but they didn’t need it; they had J. Edgar Hoover, and the unrelenting media speculation of unprovable RFK/MLK assassination conspiracies.

The whole world is watching!
