Uh, it was the generation previous to the Boomers that put the Reds in Hollywood- -the "Great Generation". Communism was popular then. We'd just pulled out of the Depression- -considered an obvious failure of capitalism- -and Communism was seen as the wave of the future. They were also our allies in WW2. General Patton caught **** more than once for mildly knocking the commies. I'm a boomer. Do I fit KLP's mold? How about you? I didn't riot. I did work in Barry Goldwater's Presidential campaign. And HIS fate in that campaign was NOT determined by Boomers. The oldest of us were only 18 then and couldn't vote. Most of the grunts shooting at the Cong in the Rice fields of Vietnam instead of tearing UC-Berzerkeley apart? They were Boomers. The brush being used for this smear job is a little wide, don't you think?
