Another Weatherman Terrorist A Player In Obama Campaign
Communists, Socialists, Anarchists Also Part Of Political Organization
One of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization is a signatory to an independent organization acting to ensure the election of Sen. Barack Obama.
The group in question, Progressives for Obama, also includes among its ranks many former members of the 1960s radical organization Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen splintered, as well as current and former members of other radical organizations, such as the Communist Party USA and the Black Radical Congress.
In its creed, first published in March in the Nation magazine, the Progressives for Obama founders state their organization descended from the "proud tradition of independent social movements that have made America a more just and democratic country."
Weatherman Mark Rudd Terrorist
Progressives for Obama stated it can help the Illinois senator's ascent to highest office by contributing funds, using the Internet to reach "millions of swing voters;" defending Obama against negative attacks and making its agenda known at the Democratic National Convention.
"Progressives can make a difference in close primary races like Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Oregon and Puerto Rico, and in the November general election," the founders state.
The founders stress it is crucial to form a grassroots leftist movement to ensure Obama does not stray too far to the center, claiming other grassroots liberal movements have successfully pressured U.S. presidents into creating new policy:
It was the industrial strikes and radical organizers in the 1930s who pushed Roosevelt to support the New Deal. It was the civil rights and student movements that brought about voting rights legislation under Lyndon Johnson and propelled Eugene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy's antiwar campaigns. It was the original Earth Day that led Richard Nixon to sign environmental laws.
Weatherman William Ayres Terrorist
And it will be the Obama movement that will make it necessary and possible to end the war in Iraq, renew our economy with a populist emphasis, and confront the challenge of global warming. We should not only keep the pressure on [Obama] but also connect the issues that Obama has made central to his campaign into an overarching progressive vision."
Among the signatories and endorsers to Progressives for Obama is Mark Rudd, one of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization. Rudd worked closely for years with Weathermen terrorist William Ayers, whose association with Obama has generated controversy for the presidential candidate.
Rudd originally was a top member of the Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS, leading the famed 1968 Columbia University strikes in which hundreds of students seized several university buildings. He also served as spokesman for the strikes, attracting international media attention.
In 1968, Rudd traveled with the SDS to Cuba, defying U.S. travel bans, where he says he was heavily influenced by the legacy of Che Guevara and by Cuban-style revolution. When he returned to the U.S., Rudd advocated for Columbia's chapter of the SDS to carry out militant, aggressive action, but he was turned down.

A bio published on his own website explains Rudd worked to form the Weathermen as a radical alternative to the SDS and for white Americans to eject their "white skin privilege" and begin "armed struggle" against the U.S. government.
The Weathermen took responsibility for bombing U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s.
Rudd went underground in 1970, when a bomb exploded in a townhouse in Greenwich Village in New York City, killing three of his comrades. He lived for seven and a half years in hiding as a fugitive, finally surrendering in 1977, facing only low-level state charges after federal charges against Weathermen leaders had been dropped. He resurfaced as a teacher in New Mexico.
Tom Hayden Anti-American
As late as 2005, Rudd wrote an editorial in the Los Angeles Times lamenting the state of the antiwar movement in the U.S.
"What's hard to understand – given the revelations about the rush to war, the use of torture and the loss of more than 2,000 soldiers – is why the antiwar movement isn't further along than it is. Given that President Bush is now talking about Iraq as only one skirmish in an unlimited struggle against a global Islamic enemy, a struggle comparable to the titanic, 40-year Cold War against communism, shouldn't a massive critique of the global war on terrorism already be underway?" he wrote.
Rudd condemned the Weathermen's decision to embark on an "armed-struggle," calling it "stupid" since the violent acts led to the group's demise.
William Ayres Terrorist
Rudd didn't condemn the terrorism itself, only its contribution to the downfall of the Weathermen.
Rudd declined to speak on the record to WND, explaining an interview may spark more Weathermen controversy for Obama.
Rudd is just one of scores of radicals involved with Progressives for Obama.
The group was founded by four individuals with ties to extremist groups:
Tom Hayden, a former state senator who was a founder and principal organizer of the SDS. Discover the Networks notes Hayden, previously married to actress Jane Fonda, traveled many times to North Vietnam, Czechoslovakia and Paris to strategize with communist North Vietnamese and Viet Cong leaders on how to defeat America's anti-communist efforts.
Bill Fletcher, a former Maoist and current leader of Democratic Socialists of America or DSA. The New Zeal blog notes Fletcher was also a founder of the Black Radical Congress, closely linked to the Communist Party USA, which advocated for "progressive social justice, racial equality and economic justice goals within the U.S.
Barbara Ehenreich, an honorary chairman of DSA who was formerly active in antiwar movements in which some notorious radicals took part.
Actor Danny Glover, a member of the Black Students Union, who has visited Venezuela, making guest appearances on President Hugo Chavez's television and radio talk show. He reportedly has accepted loans of about $20 million from the Venezuelan government to make a movie about a Haitian revolutionary leader.
The Progressives for Obama webmaster is Carl Davidson, a former vice president of the Students for a Democratic Society, who has traveled to Cuba to meet with Fidel Castro.

The signatories and endorsers of the Obama activist group, listed on the Progressives website, include scores of well known communist, socialist and anarchist activists and former SDS members.
The Obama campaign was not prepared to comment on the links to Rudd and other extremists in the allied organization.

Where does it state specifically that all of those individuals are on the Obama Campaign Payroll?
Or is that just another "FACT" you conveniently left out Marie?
Here is the second line to your article:
One of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization is a signatory to an independent organization acting to ensure the election of Sen. Barack Obama.
OPERATIVE PHRASE..."INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION"
YOU LOSE MARIE, AGAIN.
How many terrorist links and buddies must a guy have before he's considereed terrorist himself? Or, at least a terrorist sympathizer?
Does federalist REALLY want to try and deny that extreme left wing radicals support Obama in DROVES?
These people ARE terrorists committed to the destruction of the American government.
And if Obama is elected, he'll do more to help them reach that goal than any other President in history.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it federalist!
Marie said that the man was working for Obama's campaign and that he was on the payroll.
That is incorrect. I just continue my role as "fact-checker".
There are just as many far right wing nutjobs who support McSame. They don't represent the mainstream right. Anyone knows that.
But somehow that just doesn't apply to Obama...hmmm...wonder if it's...nah!
Mike's America,
There is not one comment, phrase, word, thought, concept, or idea that you could possibly type that would merit "put that in your pipe and smoke it". You are in the same league as Marie. You should enjoy yourself rather than venture outside of your comfort zone.
Indigo,
My intuition proved faulty. I thought you were a truth-seeker, just on the other side.
I was wrong.
I guess the new rule is this: if anyone supports either candidate and happens to have a criminal record, then the candidate not only supports criminals but also condones the crime which he/she committed.
Is that accurate Indigo?
Scratch that last comment: I forgot that logic and sound argument are prohibited on this blog.
Apologies.
And the beat goes on marie. It looks as if it just don't matter any more. The Obama lovers just have blinders on and don't care..
Erics Eyes,
Welcome to my blog :-)
I know it seems that way just because I have this one jackass that refuses to take his blinders off about Obama, but I am NOT going to stop because we cant afford to let this guy get in the Whitehouse!
Most people that come through here tend to agree :-)
Has it ever occurred to you, Marie, that that one jackass who refuses to take off his blinders may be working for the very organization you are blogging about? I'm sure you are getting tired of this nutjob. Perhaps it's time for you to consider comment moderation? To tell you the truth, I'm getting tired of him too!
This is an extremely important post and your link leads us to an article at WND who links to the Progressives for Obama website. You leave links to back up what you say, while the Federalist leaves liberal drivel and doesn't back up anything. I give a liberal troll one chance to not leave a link to the nonsense he/she is spewing, and after that, they are history.
This may be one of the most important posts you have ever done, girlfriend! Kudos!
Now please throw out the trash. :)
Gayle,
I know, he has moved in here LOL
I dont mind a debate but if he post's his own articles I will delete them.
I've had enough of that crap. If he want's to debate fine, but if he just want's to pick apart every single one of my articles I will be tacking out the trash :-)
I refuse to be held hostage by comment moderation because I would have to sit here all day long lol
I never thought that he might be working for the enemy hmmm
He better start being a good boy!
Marie, I have comment moderation enabled. I don't sit at my pc all day long. LOL! People understand that it may be awhile before their comments get posted.
Gayle,
Hmmmm, I will take this into consideration lol
We will see if he behaves lol
About the only hatemongers I see here is the faux guy and the terrorists that support Obama. What a whack job you are faux guy. Don't you think your're a bit out of your league discussing matters of substance?
Jenn,
I have warned him if he is going to post Liberal BS then it will get deleted.
Which I just did.
Debating is fine, if he want's to post articles from liberal websites they will be deleted!
YOU GOT THAT FED?
