Democratic leaders didn’t help matters any when they responded ambivalently to radical protest. This ambivalence had two causes. Many liberals who were themselves committed to electoral politics shared the demonstrators’ strong opposition to the Vietnam War and to lingering racism, and were to some degree morally intimidated by their passion. At the same time, some Democratic office holders and candidates feared that criticizing the radicals’ tactics would cost them votes from their base that they needed to win. The requirement to choose between the most radical, angry people who are on your side and the general population that fears and dislikes them wounded the Democrats for the next decade and after. Our historic consolation is that Republicans now confront the same dilemma in the form of the Tea Party.
