My God. The 60s and 70s were crazy! Now, I'm not saying any of you were weathermen liberals. But how many people here were idealistic liberals in the 60s and 70s?
Being an idealistic liberal is one thing. Plotting to murder policeman is another thing altogether.
Maybe so, but Dohrn has not changed her stripes and is instrumental in fomulating Illinois family law. She needs to answer the questions.
Hey, I was a member of SDS in 1964 and even knew some of the people who became Weathermen. We had our delusions, but beleive me, this was a small group of crazies who got even crazier over time because they only listened to one another. A cult, not a political movement. What is really disgraceful is the way the liberal establishment, to this day, idolizes and promotes the careers of people who behaved disgracefully.
Me? Never! I was a "Youth for Goldwater" in high school and still have the memorabilia to prove it.
Most of these people in the "Weathermen" of the 60's and 70's were in their 20's and either Red Diaper Babies, or "intellectual" thugs influenced by the communist university enclaves of the North East, socialist Texas and Berkeley.
I banged a few hippie broads. Does that count?
Weatherman "liberals" did not exist. These were hard core revolutionaries who hated Liberals even more than they did conservatives. Their greatest fear was that Liberals would "coopt" the revolution.

I was...then I grew up.
Stop Excusing these scum-bags.
