Prior to the RNC, we viewed "Chicago 10", a 2007 film that's based on vintage clips and high-tech animation (see http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Chicago_10/70063107?trkid=190393). '68 - '08 -- have we made any progress???
thanks for the link.
Thanks for the comment on Is America Burning. What was odd to me is that I'd heard nothing from the MSM about the arrests and intimdation.
It's possible I missed it - I didn't watch any more of that BS than was necessary to keep up.
