Protesters, Happy's, pinkos, commies. traitors. They were called all kinds of things. You have to keep in mind that at the time there was a vast difference between the older generation who were more inclined to accept the decisions made by politician ant their teenage children who were often better educated and as a result were more inclined to question the powers that be.

There were many different protests of the Vietnam War, some peaceful and some violent. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and in some cases arrest and prosecution were used against some of the protesters (particularly those who protested at the Democratic National Nominating Convention in 1968 in Chicago) but most protesters escaped unscathed.
