The Panthers, Weathermen, Yippies, etc.... vs ...the Tea Party, the Moral Majority, Citizens' Alliance for Life and Liberty, etc.... though their goals may be different, don't they and their supporters all basically share the same style & attitude: ''revolutionary'', arrogant & heavy-handed, polarizing, sometimes violent, ''my way or the highway'', and ''we own the Truth''?

Didn't some of the 60's radicals become right wingers?

Reminds me of a quote I saw somewhere, that ''the only difference between 1960s leftists and todays cons is the length of their hair.'' Not counting comb-overs...

The Tea Party and Moral Majority are violent?

I thought they were a bunch of old white men with hearing aids.

I wish the critics of these groups would make up their minds. These people are either violent revolutionarys or they are a bunch of old white geezers in wheelchairs.

Can't have it both ways liberals.

Just like leftists, they are wimpy pacifists who would rather die than defend themselves, yet they are violent thugs who attack anyone who disagrees with them.

By the way, being old and white doesn't exclude you from being violent.
