Yes, I agree.  One of the main differences between the "old" and "new" left 
was that the former was characterized by a dukes-up disputatiousness that 
was wholly self-defeating.  Say what you will about the Yippies and their 
analogs, there was a spirit of infectious good cheer about leftists during 
the '60s that rightwingers simply couldn't come to terms with; it always 
made them look heavy-handed, humorless and ridiculous.
