Thirty six years ago three of their members killed themselves in attempt to blow up a dance at Fort Dix. The Weathermens hatred of the United States manifested itself in the bombings of the U.S. Capitol building, New York City Police Headquarters, the Pentagon, and the National Guard offices in Washington, D.C.
The Weathermen were radicals. They wanted their people to get involved, demonstrate, get arrested and force change down the throat of the establishment. They fought at the Democratic Presidential Convention in 1968 and converged in Chicago in 1969 for an event that came to be known as Days of Rage. The more violent extremists during that era were responsible for a score of bombings in places like Harvard University, various corporate headquarters and a number of government institutions. They praised Charles Manson and freed Dr. Timothy Leary from prison. Wherever there was violence and chaos in the name of dissent, the Weathermen were there.
Meet Bernadine Dohrn, leader of the Weather Underground:
For those of you who might be wondering where the rest of the Weathermen are, you need only look to our Universities, Bar Associations, and, the ACLU. Thats right. The ACLU. The unrepentant Dohrn is currently a law professor at Northwestern University. She also serves on the Board of the American Civil Liberties Union and committees of the American Bar Association. Her husband, and co-leader of the Weathermen Bill Ayers, is now Professor of Education at the University of Illinois.
Dohrn, Ayers and other members of the Weather Underground are currently under investigation in connection with a police officer killed by a bomb in 1970.

Is this a rhetorical question? ;)
heh.
isnt this the group Ward Churchill belonged to?
I'm not sure on that one.
It figures.
Her Hubby
Isn't the title self-evident?
They are leading their smug self satisfied lives,in comfort. They are living off the "evil system" and are far better paid than most hard working citizens.
It would be too much to hope for, I suppose, for them to know the chill of the long arm of the law. In short, they would, and still do, try to create a monster. The politically correct monster that has reared it's ugly head too often. They believe it would not devour them.
Hopefully the investigation is one, they are well aware of. Make the beggers sweat.
I Could not document that she is on the board of the ACLU, or that she isn't for that matter. However, she has represented them in various cases. .. probably/possibly pro bono, while the students and donors of Northwestern University paid her salary. She may be on the board of the local Illinois affiliate.
