Right Wing Pro-Gun Excuse of the Day: Blame the 1968 Democratic Convention.

Daniel Henninger weighs in with yet another ridiculous right wing excuse for gun violence; in this article for Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal, Henninger argues that to really understand why the Newtown school shooting happened, we have to go back, back through years, all the way to 1968 (cue harp glissandos), when everything started to go wrong thanks to the hippies and the anti-wars and the college professors and the intellectuals and the mmm glavin!

The rest of the bizarre, including the statement: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/41365_Right_Wing_Pro-Gun_Excuse_of_the_Day-_Blame_the_1968_Democratic_Convention

Just keep throwing crap at the wall and see if anything sticks. The hippie theory won't make any sense to rational people, but I have a cousin who will like it.
