When Tom Hayden died on Oct. 23, we lost a courageous warrior for peace and equality. Hayden was on the front lines of nearly every major progressive struggle for more than 50 years. Vilified by the Right and at times criticized from the Left, Hayden remained steadfast in his commitment to social, economic and racial justice. An activist, political theorist, organizer, writer, speaker and teacher, Hayden was a Freedom Rider in the South during the 1960s; a founder of Students for a Democratic Society; a leader of the anti-Vietnam War movement; a community organizer; a negotiator of a gang truce in Venice, California; the author of more than 19 books; and an elected official in California for nearly two decades. Tom Hayden, anti-war activist and progressive leader. The Indochina Peace Campaign (IPC), founded in 1972 by Hayden and Jane Fonda, who became his wife the following year, was a traveling road show that opposed the war in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Daniel Ellsberg, whose leak of the Pentagon Papers helped to end the war, traveled with Fonda, Holly Near and others for two weeks, speaking around the clock against the war. Poster Comment: D. Gardner... Hayden supported the Jews’ ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians and he supported Zionist terrorism. Like Hanoi Jane, he was a publicity whore and the media exploited his enthusiasm for Jewish colonialism in Palestine. Thoroughly mediocre intellectually, he will be missed very briefly by the Ziocons who have used and disposed of him after serving their purposes.

We lost a real idiot who lead the fight against the war in Vietnam. I still remember the 1968 Democrat convention in Chicago, where the SDS were throwing baseballs with nails in them at the cops who had little protective gear as the cops do today. Tom Hayden was a real scum ball and will not be missed. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

Good riddance to bad trash. The only thing to regret is that he didn't die 50 years earlier. Preferably in a flaming car crash with Jane Fonda strapped into her stuck seat belt.

Of course. It is no longer a Borg once you are a Borg member. Look at that fairy Jesuit governor,Jerry Brown. It would be hard to find a more useless pile of steaming shit,yet the alleged people of Ca have now elected his to be their Governor twice! Hayden screamed and yelled and fought against the system. The he joined and got elected to the CA GA and served for 20 plus years
