"The Vietnam War: How Much Dissent?" - 1968 ABC Scope Program

October 21 at 10pm & October 22 at 4pm ET on C-SPAN3's Reel America. Fifty years ago, on October 21, 1967, an estimated 100,000 Vietnam War protesters gathered at the Lincoln Memorial for a rally, then marched to the Pentagon. Led by social activist Abbie Hoffman, more than 600 protesters were arrested. This episode from the weekly series "ABC Scope" is from January 1968. It examines resistance to the war and the draft, with footage of demonstrations, interviews with war supporters and opponents, and portions of a press conference by President Lyndon Johnson.

good little societ drone why dont u talk sbout the peaceful vietcong massacring their own?

[@rustinusti]

Do you know what a civil war is? Do you say the same about Abraham Lincoln?

[@asmodeus0454]

Wallace had a point. Protesting against the war in Vietnam as government policy was one thing but to be demonstrating on behalf of the Vietcong and North Vietnamese and to be overtly and actively supporting the Vietcong and North Vietnamese materially and morally while American troops were still in the field and getting killed and wounded was going much too far.

Americans trops shouldn’t Be there in first place.

[@wastedproductions45]

"Wallace had a point" everything was a buzz after that

[@angelamossucco2190]

I hear you.

[@marktoreky3417]

Under this „logic” Germans, who participated in the Resistance against the Hitlerite tyranny and the fascist war waged by the Hitlerite Germany are also „traitors”. Wallace was an outrageous fascist rubbish child murderer individual.

Same stupid Americans protesting for Hamas now.

[@Noitartst]

Why is being a neo-Nazi wrong, if those who find Joe Stalin a hero are free to foment revolution in academia? Totalitarism, and its heroes, commie or Nazi, are BAD.

[@boodahbob]

Reminds me of pro Germany protests during ww2

[@marktoreky3417]

No. It is more like the Anti-fascist Resistance against the Hitlerite Germany.
