You don’t need a McCain to know the Weather!
My, my I never thought I would be writing about Weather underground in the twenty first century. Bill Ayers? How about Bernadine Dohrn? His wife! How about the rest of the crew? Mark Rudd, Jeff Jones, John Jacobs, Terry Robins, Kathy Bouldin (There was a made for TV movie about her) Linda Evans, Howie Machtinger and others. There were many members of the Weather Underground; Sara Palin may have shot a moose with one. I mean, they never talk about their past unless you pry it out of them.
Now they are using Bill Ayers name to slander Obama because Bill let him use his living room to launch Obama’s senatorial campaign. Obama does not know everybody’s biography, to Obama, Bill was a nice middle age white guy. Members of the new left movement only know Bill Ayers. He was not Famous like Abby Hoffman. Hell, people barely remember Jerry Rubin. Now, let’s talk about the Weather Underground.
Weather Underground a terrorist group? Yeah, in their minds they were. They romanticized Communist guerilla groups in the 3rd world. They wanted to be the American version of Viet Cong. However, they just upper-middle class white kids that were playing red revolutionaries. If the truth to be told… they were more vandals than terrorists. When they bombed the U.S Capitol building after president Nixon bombed Laos in May of 1970, they placed the bomb in the men’s room for tourist. There was not much damage with the exception of some sinks and toilets. Somebody made an anonymous phone call to the DC cops to warn people to vacate the building. Nobody was hurt. After the action, they released their famous communiqué to the media, which was just amateurish communist propaganda. This was the same group that busts Timothy Leary out of a MINIMUM-security prison in San Luis Obispo California. All they needed was a wire cutter and a security guard reading the sports page.
Most of the left of that decade didn’t like the Weather Underground; they called them a bunch of adventurous teenyboppers. The Weather Underground wanted to instigate a revolution in the USA. The only they instigated was laughter by other groups. Besides damaging property, other wise they were harmless. That is why most courts dropped the charges against them.
Don’t get me wrong, at the time; I was their cheerleader. They were my outlaws. I was 16 years old back then but now I have mature. By the late 70’s, they realized that the USA was not in a revolutionary situation, so they surrendered to authorities and that was that. What drove them to these acts of vandalism? Leftist paranoia, at the time they thought that Nixon was going to bring a fascist state and they would be the underground resistance. Well the Nixon administration imploded and everybody went to the Disco.
Where is a Weather Underground when we really need them?
