Sarah Palin has accused presidential candidate Barack Obama of "palling around" with terrorists - referring to his acquaintance with a former member of the Weather Underground. So who were the Weather Underground?
Embroiled in an unpopular war in Vietnam, with many of the grievances of the civil-rights movement still unanswered, the US government was facing widespread protests in the late 1960s.
Often those who rebelled were rich in idealism but unable or unwilling to take concrete action.
On 8 October 1969, all that changed. A newly-formed group of left-wing extremists, dubbed the Weathermen, went on the rampage in a well-planned protest in Chicago - the so-called Days of Rage riots.
A police station in the city was bombed, and protesters engaged police in combat on the streets. More than 250 of the rioters were arrested, and the FBI began to follow the movements of the Weathermen very closely.
They were a splinter-group from Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) - a product of the student radicalism endemic in college campuses in the late 1960s.
The group had recently published an article in the society's newspaper rejecting peaceful protest in favour of communist revolution. The article signed off with the Bob Dylan lyric: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
According to the FBI, several of their members had travelled to Cuba and North Vietnam during 1969.
'Freaks are revolutionaries'
After the Chicago riots, with many of their members in jail, the group regrouped and rethought its tactics.
The group's communiques still betrayed obvious links to the counter-culture of the 1960s.
In May 1970 they issued a statements entitled A Declaration of a State of War, which stated: "Freaks are revolutionaries and revolutionaries are freaks.

She needs to keep reminding people of Reverend Wright, also.
Go Sarah!
Lol!
According to their own admissions they did this. No need to drag the FBI's "investigations" into this.
And their support of the North Vietnamese military in a time of war (and domestic combat at home) made their traitors.
For you hurricane nuts, don't forget that Dr. Jeff Masters of the weatherundergound.com is a stark, raving, off the scale Leftist moonbat.
Every click at his site are $ in his marxist pocket.
I missed the sixties by about almost 20 years. This is what I don't get, the number of 60’s radicals who committed serious crimes, murders and acts of terrorism, either directly or were involved in conspiracies, who were accepted back into mainstream life, either in business or academia, without regard to their crime, and without repentance or penance.
Was the country so hurt by Vietnam and the civil rights unrest that they were willing to just give up saying the people who went to extremes (either way) have to be forgiven or have an excuse? I've asked this question time and time again, and I can't accept that is “all the liberals fault,” or that “if I wasn't there, I couldn't understand”.
I think you would have to look at the nature of the Institutions accepting them to get your answer.
Notice this guy doesn’t have the guts to step all over the flag out on the sidewalk... he’s got to hide in an alley.
