Patty Hearst(movie 1988), the SLA of 1974 sounds like the democrats of today.

I watched a 1988 movie about the Patty Hearst kidnapping in 1974 last night and her SLA(Symbionese Liberation Army) kidnappers had the same political rhetoric as most modern day democrats, IMO.

KEYWORDS: 2020election; aoc; democrat; election2020; hearst; howardschultz; starbucks; trump
Very telling.

She initially went through Stockholm Syndrome -- identified with them, joined them. Years later, after her pardon, she got married, settled down, basically normalized. In retrospect she called the SLA a bunch of "stupid, suicidal types."

An apt description for today's Democrats.

Willie Wolf, a high school classmate of mine, was reported to be Patty’s lover and died with Donald CinQ in the fire that consumed the SLA hideout.

Willie was the most laid-back, mild mannered person you would ever meet. How he got caught up in the violent politics of the SLA is a mystery that has stayed with me for nearly 50 years.

It’s true.

Also, the old Revolutionary Worker. It’s the same rhetoric from the 70’s 80’s RCP that Dems and media spout today.

The Democrats are completely stuck in the ‘70s, when most of their leadership came of age.

They cannot live without crying about racism, sexism and all the other isms.

They cannot stand a country where people are united and get along. It goes against their nature.

Watch an “All in the Family” rerun sometime. It’s exactly like listening to a 21st century Democrat.

***and died with Donald CinQ in the fire that consumed the SLA hideout.***

I remember when that happened. The police came under full auto machine gun fire from the gang.

On KFI news some libtards phoned in crying about how they did not need to be killed! “The police should have used FIRE HOSES and flushed them out!”
The newscaster reminded them of the machine gun fire and how they could have shot the hoses full of holes, so it was necessary to take out the gang with bullets.

That’s not a bad movie. The lead actress, of course, died tragically young.

It was a dreadful event and there are still some morons who think that poor Patty was some kind of evil genius instead of the repeatedly raped and brutalized victim she was.

Patty Hurst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun...and bought it.

I've been on a Warren Zevon revival this week.

from his wikipedia page:

In 1971 he moved to San Francisco, where he enrolled in the University of California, Berkeley and studied anthropology. One of the classes he took was African-American Linguistics through the Department of Afro-American Studies, and taught by Colston Westbrook. Through this class, Wolfe became involved in prisoners’ rights. A small group of Berkeley students became involved in the Venceremos prison outreach project and started visiting the prisons to discuss politics and social justice issues with the prisoners, particularly at Vacaville prison. In 1972, prisoner Donald DeFreeze (Cinque), invited Wolfe and Russ Little to join his separate study group, Unisight. A former Black Panther, an inmate by the name of Thero Wheeler, was also in the clique.

In Robert Stone’s 2005 documentary, Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst, Russ Little said of Willie:

It’s funny how these things happen, but that’s where [Little’s political film nights] we met Bill, Emily and Joe, was at one of these films. Willie was kind of like the catalyst. Willie was the one that all these different people met. Willie was like the common denominator. Willie studied anthropology at Berkeley, and it was actually through Berkeley that he got into going to prisons. Through some class, some anthropology class.

Willie dropped out of college in 1972 as he became more involved in radical activism.

Something else that is scary is that many/most of northern California’s democrats; Willie Brown, Diane Feinstein, Former Governor Brown, all were friends with and courted the votes of Jim Jones and his suicide cult.

The Red Army Faction from the 70’s sounds exactly like the New Democrat Party.
