UPDATE: Daniel Flynn, CityJournal, "Obama's Boys of Summer". To the Left of Eugene McCarthy in Chicago at the '68 convention. Ex-SDS/Weathermen for Obama--not just Ayers and Dohrn. Oh, and Tom Hayden too, former husband of Hanoi Jane:
Klonsky remembers Hayden plotting to spread nails on a highway; another SDS leader recalls Hayden encouraging activists to firebomb police cars. If the Democrats couldn’t run a convention, many Americans wondered, how could they run the country? “Did the radicalism of Chicago elect Richard Nixon?” Hayden asked, clearly pained, in his 1988 memoir. “Having struggled with that question for twenty years, I find there is no ‘neat’ answer.”
Now Hayden is one of the organizers of Progressives for Obama.
