As for the Ayers deal, how many Americans enjoying today's American culture would hand to their hearts honestly disagree with the positive ripple effects of radical actions taken decades ago? Of course, these people seem to believe that the answer to everything is in the past, which is just plain ridiculous. There is this really romantic and bananas fucked up idea of what the world and the nation was like 40-50 years ago.

ROFLCOPTER LANDING

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a non-profit, non-partisan veterans group composed of those who have fought in the nation's current wars, released its report cards Tuesday on those in Congress who they feel serve new veterans the best.

Washington's two U.S. senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, both Democrats, each received top grades, A-pluses, for supporting nine of nine votes the IAVA considered pro-veteran, with extra points awarded for joining in sponsoring the post-9/11 GI Bill.

They did better than the two senators running for president.

U.S. Sen Barak Obama, D-Ill, the Democratic presidential nominee, received a good grade, a "B," from the organization.

U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the Republican presidential nominee received an unsatisfactory "D."

(Biden also got a "B")

Obama is doing a good job playing the game, considering that one side is apparently playing the game without any rules and limitations. If this had taken place where I grew up, Palin would have been arrested for inciting the masses by now.

Quote

In an interview on ABC News, Sen. Barack Obama called Sen. John McCain's attempts to link him to 1960s anti-war radical Bill Ayers are an attempt to "score cheap political points."

Then he issued a challenge to his rival.

Said Obama: "I am surprised that, you know, we've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days, that he wasn't willing to say it to my face. But I guess we've got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate."

Exactly what needs to be said. McCain is hiding behind women - Palin and Cindy - who are making the most outrageous attacks of this political season. He truly is a fucking coward.

Andrews, Ayers wasn't just a "radical." And the action of these "radicals," like the Weathermen bombings of the late 60's and early 70s, didn't have a positive affect. If anything, it probably caused more people to support Nixon, who lumped all protesters in with groups like the Weathmen.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #2595 on:** October 08, 2008, 10:14:17 PM »

That's fair enough, I'm not particularly familiar with that group or their actions. But revisionist history tends to paint all non-government policing actions as exclusively negative for progress, and a surprising amount of people seem to adhere to that account of history. At one point, the remarkably peaceful demonstrations of the current war (I think there was considerable more property and personal damage dealt in nations that were not directly affected by the war than there was here) was referred to civil unrest similar to the abhorrent student actions of the 60s. Actions that basically broke through the wall of total control and spawned a culture for an age bracket that had up until that point been seen as the 'be quiet and learn to grow old' year.

But, this group may have been genuinely bad news, I don't know. But I'm constantly surprised over the reactions to pretty serious issues here. With the odd exception of African Americans who tend to go for tipping over their own neighborhoods when they get angry, or college students who have had drinking rights revoked on campus and summarily go for tipping the nearest cars over, people tend to not cause much of a public stink about anything. In a way, it's admirable, but it is a little bit strange.

Honestly, I think you're being a revisionist historian. The protests and civil unrest of the sixties is often looked back upon romantically. But there's a world of difference between peaceful civil disorder--hell even riots--and planting fuckin' bombs.

Some random douche from a crowd yelling that out isn't exactly a public call to lynch. And what does this have to do with whether the Weathermen were a positive influence on America, as you implied.

Action, as opposed to the toothless public launching toothless petitions into the system it is petitioning against. Or expecting others to do the job for them, as is so common with demands of media to do this or that. Not that the guy would actually call for someone to lose his head outside of the riled up safety of a riled up group of likedminded people, but hey.

Why praise action when that action included the bombings of police stations, actions which are not going to get you much public sympathy, and are not going to help your broader cause.

I can agree with that it'd be counter-efficient to go after police (the direct action protest groups I'm familiar with would not do this), but how many infractions of civil liberty was the police itself responsible for during those years? It wasn't exactly a balanced time, was it? I would never defend a bombing, but when people are face to face with a system that is brutally unbalanced, people may easily slip to the side of drastic action, typically representing the tip of the issue. But, as said, that may be irrelevant to the motives actions taken by this group. I'll shut up about the weathermen until I've read more about them.

On a related note though, shouldn't this resonate well with the compound-having, gun-toting, my foot on the state's snake-head extreme right?

This complete disregard for whether or not its comments, arguments and apparent beliefs actually make sense is basically what keeps the Republican party from just imploding or vaporizing in a cloud of disbelief; There is seemingly no interest in reason, and arguments are "won" by out-shouting the voice of the opposition. It's like a political comedy, except it's actually real and accepted politics. Quite remarkable.
