Tom Hayden died. Thanks Tom for helping to ruin a great nation. In addition to founding SDS he helped lay the foundation of the Democratic Socialist Party of Hillary Clinton that we have today. So Mr. Hayden here is fond flying fuck you and farewell.
 
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Famed '60s anti-war activist Tom Hayden, whose name became forever linked with the celebrated Chicago 7 trial, Vietnam War protests and his ex-wife actress Jane Fonda, has died. He was 76.

He died on Sunday after a long illness, said his wife, Barbara Williams, noting that he suffered a stroke in 2015.

Hayden, once denounced as a traitor by his detractors, overcame his past and won election to the California Assembly and Senate where he served for almost two decades as a progressive force on such issues as the environment and education. He was the only one of the radical Chicago 7 defendants to win such distinction in the mainstream political world.

He remained an enduring voice against war and spent his later years as a prolific writer and lecturer advocating for reform of America's political institutions.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti praised Hayden. "A political giant and dear friend has passed. Tom Hayden fought harder for what he believed than just about anyone I have known. RIP, Tom," Garcetti said Sunday night on his Twitter account.

Hayden wrote or edited 19 books, including "Reunion," a memoir of his path to protest and a rumination on the political upheavals of the '60s.

"Rarely, if ever, in American history has a generation begun with higher ideals and experienced greater trauma than those who lived fully the short time from 1960 to 1968," he wrote.

Hayden was there at the start. In 1960, while a student at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, he was involved in the formation of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), then dedicated to desegregating the South. By 1962, when he began drafting the landmark Port Huron Statement, SDS and Hayden were dedicated to changing the world.

Hayden was fond of comparing the student movement that followed to the American Revolution and the Civil War.

In 1968, he helped organize anti-war demonstrations during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that turned violent and resulted in the notorious Chicago 7 trial. It began as the Chicago 8 trial, but one defendant, Bobby Seale, was denied the lawyer of his choice, was bound and gagged by the judge and ultimately received a separate trial.

After a circus-like trial, Hayden and three others were convicted of crossing state lines to incite riot. The convictions were later overturned, and an official report deemed the violence "a police riot."

"A political giant"?:laugh2:

I suspect that outside his aging coterie of Leftist baby boomers, ex-hippies and Yippies and the former Jane Fondle, no one knew who he was, or cared.
 
Fascist conservatives dislike anyone who has challenged the elitist status quo, their disrespect for change agents is nothing new. Counter their nonsense and their hatred blossoms.

'Trump’s alt-right trolls have subjected me and my family to an unending torrent of abuse that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.'

The Price I’ve Paid for Opposing Donald Trump
 
One of the pos crypto-Nazi vermin who helped destroy genuine liberalism and patriotism in the Democratic Party, disenfranchising the middle and working class for good, turning it into a bastion of 'neo-liberalism' and 'globalist' con artists, and ended up getting Nixon the Presidency; one of the best friends the right wing and Wall Street ever had. May he rot in hell. Republicans should build him a statue next the Reagan one.
 
Expected this thread to be about Jane Fonda. I keep hearing she died and would be interested in knowing where she's buried.
 
Yeah I won't lose a lot of sleep over this guy being gone, he and Jane were two of the biggest pieces of shit around back in the day.
 
Just goes to show how far our country has declined when anti-American scumbags like Hayden, John Kerry, Obama & Hillary can get elected to office

Morning, billy. Hayden was pre-boomer. Boomers were barely teens with acne and squeaky voices when Hayden and his cohorts turned the nation upside down. It was a great time of questioning and questing. Like a tethered animal off the leash for the first time, some went a tad overboard. Nobody I knew ever burned their underwear or their draft card or flopped around in the mud at Woodstock or got arrested for disruption, but I was one whose eyes opened to the disparities between what America said and what America did, especially in civil rights. We love our country deeply and from the quick wanted it to be what we said we are. Too bad we righteously offended the powers that be with brashness. Also, nobody I knew needed chemicals to induce self awareness. Sadly, that got popular at that time too. Then again, as we have learned many times since then, polite requests for change seldom get noticed until somebody gets offended, so....

RIP Tom Hayden. Well done!

He led the Boomers. They were his primary audience.

I was at Woodstock, so there. I did not, however, flop around in the mud.

lol drivel. The further away that era gets, the greater the ridiculous mythology surrounding it and the narcissistic and mindless self-indulgence of the brats gets. Sounds better than the reality that they were mostly just spoiled, gullible, fashionista dumbasses, of course.
