Tom Hayden Looks at Clinton's 60s Past

Oh is this a contest about who has more 60's cred? PUHLEAZE. what did this generation do with those high ideals, well in the seventies they started to clean up the earth, in the 80's they made alot of junk bond $ so they could buy deloreans and blow the rest up their nose, in the 90's they continued to fight the 60's battle and both side showed their lack of morals. meanwhile their children are not voting based on 60's cred but on what ideals passed onto them where actually put into effect. we like John Edwards and we like Barak Obama. why? Barack does not say I will do the work for you instead we must all work to improve ours and others lives. we are looking forwards to John Edwards poverty tour.

Let's face it! Hillary is a lair. I voted for Bill Clinton twice, and at the end of his administration, there was money in the bank. Good ole GWB ate that up real fast!

Hillary can't be trusted! She could not beat McCain!

A vote for McCain means more wars in GWB's name.

Obama is the Democrat's best bet!

Stop trying to kill the messenger boys and girls. Tom Hayden had a decent run as a CA State Assemblyman and he has as much right to his opinions as any of us on this post!. Hillary Clinton is a liar flat out with no sugar-coating and she will change up her story the moment she seems to be in trouble. She has with her vaunted 35 years experience run the worst primary race campaign for someone who was the frontrunner that anyone can remember. Hayden has told the truth. I suspect given Hillary's supporters inability to acknowledge her out and out pandering and lying...she deserves them as her supporters and they deserve her as their candidate. But the outcome is going to be different this time folks...the rest of us are not willing the take the hit for your misguided commitment to a woman who would drop the lot of you today, if we offered her the nomination to do just that. Remember Hill supporters, you are simply a means to an end. The corporations own Mrs. Clinton lock stock and barrel.

I am 69 years old and was and still am a great admirer of Tom Hayden and his ex-wife Jane Fonda. I agree that Hillary, was probably what one would term a 'radical' in those days. Now she seems to be a factory girl from Indiana or Pennsylvania, i.e. any state that consists of heavy industry. Oh how the leopard changes its spots in Clinton's case. I just hope when all is said and done, someone will send the old gal through a car wash and remove the stripes and colors she has painted herself with in an attempt to be EVERYONE'S dream candidate.

This is the kind of ammunition the Obama camp needs against Hillary Clinton. The level of her hypocrisy is astounding and it paints her in a terrible light.

Someone this blind to her own past has no business leading the country into the future.

mark kraft,
check your elections
jane fonda endorsed obama for president.

why doesnt everyone understand that running for president is not about statesmanship but rather ego greed or insanity. I'm voting for Gore for VP. After all, with 8 years on the job experience, internet inventor and global warming saviour he has better credntials than all of them.

oh my, never thought i'd see the day 40 years later when ANYONE would listen to tom hayden on any subject. very few of us even listened to him way back when. he must be desperate for a little attention.

Funny how one of the commenters went off on "Hanoi" Jane Fonda... who, incidentally, Hillary Clinton supporter.

Last I heard, Ayers was just this guy who was once on the board of a quite respectable local Chicago charity along with Obama and about a dozen other people, and not an Obama supporter at all... whereas Hanoi Jane "hopes for a Hillary Clinton presidency" and donated $2000 to her campaign. She was even one of those people who donated to the Clintons in order to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom.

So, in what way isn't that a considerably closer friendship / financial partnership to Hillary?

Get back to me when Hayden discovers proof that Hillary constructed bombs, then detonated them in attacks against American institutions.
The far left in this country are truly despicable people. People like Hayden, Fonda and Ayers should go live in some South American banana Republic, They don't deserve a country like ours.

Tom Hayden has a good memory. But I do too. I was there in Chicago in '68 as well, only I was a campaigner for Gene McCarthy trying to stop the war by working within the political process, not in the streets trying to tear the country apart. I understood the frustration that so many of my friends and co-conspirators felt at that divisive time, but I was never very comfortable with confrontation for confrontations sake.

I have great respect for Hillary and Bill Clinton because they have always worked within the system as well. They are both liberal people who understand that great change in politics demands skillful compromise. They are both appreciate the realities that face any administration that wishes to move the American government and electorate in a different direction.

I didn't fundamentally disagree with Tom and the rest of the signers of the SDS manifesto, the Port Huron Statement, some 40 years ago because I thought their goals were the same as mine, although their means were a bit more radical. I've watched as Tom mellowed in his later years - still on the far left, but solidly within the visible spectrum of political thought.

I don't think Hillary has mellowed. I still see her in the same light as when she came to Washington 16 years ago. What I think has happened to her is that she has learned how to play the game...and she plays it pretty well.

I haven't decided whether to support Hillary or Obama yet, (my favored candidate chose not to run) but I believe we will be well served by either.

Let's just get on with it and debate the issues.

COMMANDER GUY:

so Clinton was coddling commies while cavorting during the cold cold war.

Was she cavorting casually or carefully?

And, Sir.....ARE YOU BLOODY OUT OF YOUR MIND?

Don't like this tread EYES who may or may not be open?

Reap. Sow. Deal with it.

eyes ALLEGEDLY wide open

Its called McRezkoism among other things.

And this is a Baby you and your Friends HATCHED.

So enjoy, babe.

When will Hillary find her voice?

She's 60 and still doesn't know who the hell she is! Were her medical records released, and, if so, did it mention anything about bipolar disorder?

eyes which are ALLEGEDLY wide open say_

"well you can come out of the closet for now; their gone....... All those Russians are now rich fat cats."

Ya Babe, SOME of the Ruskies doing some serious robber barronism right now. Eventually they figured out the Coddling Communism didn't work so well.

Which goes back to Hills. Why was she coddling the Commies and their FAILED ideology in a time of war?

Everybody knows communism is a losing proposition, apparently it took Hills a little longer than everyone else.

And Ya I gotts the hate for the Commies. You I can agree to disagree, here. To each his/her own.

what kind of cavorting with communists did clinton do?

was it kind of a soft shoe cavorting?

or a Virginia reel type of cavorting?

enquiring people really want to know....

ps.

my REAL name is "MCcarthy"

We all know the difference is that he's a black man. When he's mentioned, black, african american is usually in there, rev wright, black liberationist theology which is all bogus crap to frame a false debate with the "hero" john mccain. She is allowed to associate with radicals because she has convinced the media that her story line of fall and comeback is better than real issues.

@Dan,

"Hillary worked for Walmart and was in attendance during meetings where Walmart executives blamed unions for all of America's problems. Walmart sells our country to China. Hillary's past shows she will continue selling American jobs to other countries."

It would be difficult to dislike Hillary more than I do but there are some additional qualifications I'd like to make regarding your comments.

Hillary may very well have gone along with Walmart's profit motives regarding US union labor v. China, but it wouldn't have worked had not so many Americans shopped there - including, I bet, lots of union members. If we the people would buy American we could have stopped this in it's infancy.
