Dad's in prison. Mom was on parole. He's running for San Francisco DA

Standing in front of a group of potential donors in a well-appointed home, Chesa Boudin began a stump speech that would perhaps only fly in what was once the epicenter of the counterculture.

[artichokegrower]

Boudin, 38, is campaigning for an unlikely role for someone whose parents, operatives in the 1960s radical left-wing group the Weather Underground, went to prison for their roles as getaway drivers in a botched stickup that left three men — including two police officers — dead.

Boudin was just 14 months old when his parents committed the robbery in New York that sent them to prison. He was raised in Chicago by Bill Ayers, the founder of the Weather Underground, and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, a lawyer, who was also an operative in the group.

Small freaking world. Wonder if he knew uncle Barack Obama?

How many times are you going to post this crap?

[Steely Tom]

Thanks for posting this.

[JBW1949]

Thanks...I have never seen this before...

[Mrs. Don-o]

I appreciate your posting this.

Please pay no attention to the Chesa Boudin Fan Club.

This isn't "crap", I haven'/t seen it posted before,and you need to educate yourself about the Boudin family and their generational connections and COMMIE activities throughout the 20th and 21rst centuries.

I suggest that you and everyone else read FAMILY CIRCLE, by Susan Braudy! The generations of intermarriages, friends, and RED DIAPER BABIES will make your hair stand on end, if it doesn't sicken and scare you first.

3RD TIME TODAY NUMBNUTS

Did the CAPS help?

The exception being Michael Boudin , the older brother of bomber Kathy, a conservative federal judge.

You’ve been here long enough, n00b, to know that 1) people come to FR at different times and miss earlier threads, so with enough times between, a repost doesn’t matter 2) when a many times over posted thread is close to the other/s, a simple hit of the abuse button is the way to go 3) calling me a name and ignoring what I posted, utterly, only make you look
the fool you are.

[mumblypeg]

It’s not only that certain individuals are putting on straight business attire & infiltrating the mainstream.

It’s the fact that their IDEAS, which were once understood to be dangerous, extreme and just plain unthinkable to free people, have now infiltrated the mainstream, and most Americans don’t even know what’s going on.

THAT is what’s scary.

[nopardons]

True; however, the book I mentioned brings together a panoply of stinking COMMIE names of the Boudins’ extended family, friends, and clients.

[gogeo]

That disqualifies him.

[napscoordinator]

Good grief the title acts like he needs his parents. He’s 38-years old and running for office. If he still needs mommy and daddy he’s got big problems. Who cares if they are in jail. Grow up!!!!!

[nopardons]

That's very true and partly the fault of Conservative and just even slightly right leaning parents ( re the indoctrination of/mental warping of generations now, by teachers at all levels ) for abrogating their responsibilities.

Teaching some factual history, AT HOME, age appropriate of course,needs must begin at toddler stage. And I don't want to hear that parents are busy, kids spend more time in school than at home, etc.; this can and must be done, to counter the lack of factual history and garbage being shoved down children's throats !

Bedtime stories, just chats, old movies watched together, even age appropriate books...will arm children with the knowledge that they aren't getting anywhere else AND allow them, when they are older, to see through the pies they are being fed outside the home.

Sounds right. For Califonia :-)

I thought this was going to be about a Country & Western song.

[Deaf Smith]

"I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison

And I went to pick her up in the rain

But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck

She got run over by a dang ole train"

[o-n-money]

A real song from The Depression era:
My mama’s in jail
My papa’s on bail
My sister’s on the corner
sayin’ “P**** for sale”
