Tom Hayden, a peace activist whose radical views helped spur the 1960s anti-Vietnam War movement, has died.

Barbara Williams, Hayden's wife, told CNN that her husband died Sunday night surrounded by his family at the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, California.

Hayden, who served nearly two decades as a California state lawmaker, died from complications related to a stroke he had about 18 months ago, Williams said. He was 76.

I ate a big bowl of beans last night when I heard the news. I had a ceremony for him this morning.

Good.

Good riddance. Where he’s going, he won’t be meeting any of the soldiers he insulted.

[dp0622]

good. I hope he suffered.

Never very important even back then. We weren’t sitting in groups back then saying to each other: “Did you hear what Tom Hayden just said?”

If that had happened, the most likely response would have been: “Who the heck is Tom Hayden?”

[the OlLine Rebel]

Not “anti-war activist”, communist agitator.

Show some class. You’re an embarrassment to the forum.

This must have been posted at least three times but keep it up Freepers!

Give me a moment of glee every time I think how he’s roasting right now.

[BenLurkin]

Bad rubbish. Good riddance.

[US_MilitaryRules]

good.

I know we mustn’t set high standards etc BUT my ‘goal’ is to outlive ALL those SOBs.

And NO, I do not have compassion for those worthless POSs and YES I still ‘hate’ Hanoi Jane and refuse to watch or partake in anything I know she is involved in.

Dog crap on my shoes is more respectable.
(for you ‘younguns’ we used to walk dogs without a bag and a scoop)

Old (Sienfeld?) line of when the Martians come and see something on a leash pulling something with a scoop and bag in hand, just who do you think they think is in charge?
The crapper or the crapper pickerupper????

“And NO, I do not have compassion for those worthless POSs and YES I still ‘hate’ Hanoi Jane and refuse to watch or partake in anything I know she is involved in.”

I make one exception, “Barbarella” a sexploitation film she made before becoming a traitor and of which she became profoundly ashamed after she became a traitor.
