More 60s antiAmerican radicals who now seek to tear the system down from within...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hayden

Hayden serves as a member of the advisory board for the Progressive Democrats of America, an influential “grass roots” organization created to expand progressive political cooperation within the Democratic Party.[2]

He served as president of SDS from 1962 to 1963 and drafted its most famous work, the Port Huron Statement. (the Weather Underground came out of the SDS).

Hayden also played a key role in the protests surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. Six months after the convention he was indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and incitement to riot as part of the “Chicago Seven,” with other protesters including Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. He made several high-profile trips as a peace activist to Cambodia and North Vietnam during America’s involvement in the Vietnam War, including an especially controversial one in 1972 to North Vietnam with his future wife, actress Jane Fonda.

Hayden later served in the California State Assembly (1982-1992) and the State Senate (1992-2000).

In January 2008, Hayden wrote an oped piece for The Huffington Post supporting Barack Obama’s presidential bid in the Democratic primaries.


The communist thugs who rioted and murdered Americans in the 1960s and 1970s ARE the modern DNC. Never forget.
