Is there any actual proof that "Recreate 68" is a right-wing smear operation?

I ask because of the following LTTE in my local paper today:

Upon seeing the cartoon of Rush (Limbaugh) calling for riots at the Democratic Party Convention in Denver, I must ask why someone would create this cartoon with absolutely incorrect information, and why a publication would print it without checking on its correctness. If you listen to his broadcast, you can hear him reiterate that his Operation Chaos does not call for riots. For another look at reality, Google “recreate 68.” Today I got 275,000 hits. There is a huge effort to organize protests like those at the 1968 convention in Chicago, which is noted for its riots. I don’t think the Republicans have the talent to organize anything like this.

2. Nope.

It appears that some people are trying to make it seem like a right-wing smear op.

3. Actually, if you look into the people who are the contact people on the org.'s press releases...

they all have a history of leftist activism. I think the evidence actually quite obviously points to Re-create 68 being legitimately leftist, if incredibly misguided

5. We don't need a repeat of '68, especially 6/6/68

We need a nice calm safe convention, then victory in Nov.
