A book entitled "Praire Fire" written by Ayers & Dohrn in 1974 has a dedication page to "all political prisoners in the US". Listed among those prisoners is Sirhan Sirhan, who killed Robert Kennedy.

Tito Munoz is taking Alan to task right now!”
He made a monkey of Alan. Very articulate and dead on. How long before the dems give him the anal?
Some excerpts:
Our job is to tap the discontent seething in many sectors of the population, to find allies everywhere people are hungry or angry, to mobilize poor and working people against imperialism.
We have an urgent responsibility: to destroy imperialism from within in order to help free the world and ourselves from its grasp.
Our final goal is the destruction of imperialism, the seizure of power, and the creation of socialism. Our strategy for this stage of the struggle is to organize the oppressed people of the imperial nation itself to join with the colonies in the attack on imperialism. This process of attacking and weakening imperialism involves the defeat of all kinds of national chauvinism and arrogance; this is a precondition to our fight for socialism.
Socialism is the total opposite of capitalism/imperialism. It is the rejection of empire and white supremacy. Socialism is the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the eradication of the social system based on profit. Socialism means control of the productive forces for the good of the whole community instead of the few who live on hilltops and in mansions. Socialism means priorities based on human need instead of corporate greed. Socialism creates the conditions for a decent and creative quality of life for all.
The unique and fundamental condition of this time is the decline of U.S. imperialism. Our society is in social and economic crisis and assumptions about the U.S. are turned on their heads. These are hard conditions to live through. But they are favorable for the people and for revolution.
These conditions of constant change demand the weapon of theory. Like people everywhere, we are analyzing how to bring to life the potential forces which can destroy U.S. imperialism.
We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men, underground in the United States for more than four years. We are deeply affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle against U.S. imperialism.
Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from the inside.
Our intention is to engage the enemy, to wear away at him, to harass him, to isolate him, to expose every weakness, to pounce, to reveal his vulnerability.
Our intention is to encourage the people, to provoke leaps in confidence and consciousness, to stir the imagination, to popularize power, to agitate, to organize, to join in every way possible the people’s day-to-day struggles.
Our intention is to forge an underground, a clandestine political organization engaged in every form of struggle, protected from the eyes and weapons of the state, a base against repression, to accumulate lessons, experience and constant practice, a base from which to attack.

“Prairie Fire” is hardly a “newly-discovered” book.
I remember hearing about it in the 1970’s.
It was “around”, but obscure.

"the first three editions of "Osawotomie," the Weather Underground's short-lived and very rarely seen quarterly publication from 1975"
Worth googling. Osawotomie (Quarterly 1975) Indian name. Kind of goes w/Prairie.
see the pic I posted? Maybe it’s the one you linked to.
It is funny watching Pat getting exasperated as he waits to talk. Didn’t he run Joe Biden’s 88 campaign and famously state that Biden would be the perfect candidate for President if he didn’t open his mouth.
Maybe you are right, still amazing that Obama gets away with Reverend Wright, when that hit during the primaries I thought he was rendered unelectable, I thought we would be seeing wall to wall Wright ads, never in my imagination did I think the GOP would not touch it. Unfrickinbelievable, I’m sure 30 percent of the electorate don’t know who Wright is.
Come on GOP, wake up, Saturday-Monday should be Wright’s greatest hits, forget about the 527’s, they took a vacation this election cycle, it feels like the powers that be don’t even give a crap if McCain loses.
There are no more JFK Democrats.
yes.
Obama: “As my first official Presidential act I will pardon political prisoner Sirhan Sirhan.”
Bambi could whip out his willie and piss on the White House lawn in front of the whole nation and the MSM would say he was just helping the environment by conserving water
I pray for the soul of Diana Oughton who was turned from a nice farm girl (albeit rich landowning family) to a domestic terrorist by her Communist-boyfriend, William Ayers when they met while teaching at a school promoting “social justice” in Michigan. Diana was killed when a bomb the Weather Underground were making blew up in that NY apartment.
thanks for the pics. good job.
I was trying to think about what made Bobby so hated by the Palestinians or Muslim radicals, but you are right: it was just that he was the USAG, and the Weather Underground were persona non grata.
