Jonah Goldberg provides background on the Weather Underground, led by
the unrepentant William Ayers, whose political protégé may soon be
given America's nuclear codes:
Bourgeois self-loathing lay at the very heart of the New Left's
hatred of liberalism, its love affair with violence, and its
willingness to take a sledgehammer to Western civilization. "We're
against everything that's 'good and decent' in honky America,"
declared one rebel. "We will burn and loot and destroy. We are the
incubation of your mother's worst nightmare." The Weathermen became
the storm troopers of the New Left, horrifying even those who agreed
with their cause. Convinced that all whites were born tainted with the
original sin of "skin privilege," the fighting brigade of the New Left
internalized racialist thinking as hatred of their own whiteness. "All
white babies are pigs," declared one Weatherman. On one occasion the
feminist poet Robin Morgan was breast-feeding her son at the offices of
the radical journal Rat. A Weatherwoman saw this and told her, "You
have no right to have that pig male baby." "How can you say that?"
Morgan asked. "What should I do?" "Put it in the garbage," the
Weatherwoman answered.
Sounds like a certain Illinois State Senator's attitude toward babies
who survive botched abortions.
Bernadine Dohrn [Ayers' wife], an acid-loving University of
Chicago law student turned revolutionary, reflected the widespread New
Left fascination with the serial-killing hippie Übermensch Charles
Manson. "Dig It! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in
the same room with them, they even shoved a fork into a victim's
stomach! Wild!" In appreciation, her Weather Underground cell made a
three-fingered "fork" gesture its official salute.
Why not just put Charles Manson in the White House? At least he can be
charismatic even without a teleprompter.
