I guess its really convenient for the so called 'progressives' to ignore history so much.
What do you see about Squeaky Fromme's "ideology" that motivates large numbers of liberals? Is she a heroine on Daily Kos?
Did you even click on the link? You have the wrong assassin in mind. So, as far as I can tell, does Tyrone.
Sarah Jane Moore was a self-described liberal, who got involved in self-described liberal groups and in anti-war protests. In fact, today (well 3 years ago), she was a self-described liberal Hillary supporter.
She also committed her act before the vast majority of posters here, myself included, were born, and has no relevance for what any liberal today or of the last 20 years does. It's like me condemning Republicans for selling arms to Iran. They're generally not supportive of that now. Whether the individual carries on and supports candidates, when she has no influence or respect, is not relevant, any more than the Westboro Baptist Church defines Republicans.
If by some chance she were relevant now, she'd be condemned by everyone.
The anti-war movement of the 1960s is not identical as the anti-war movement of the 2000s, although a few older people now overlapped. There was nothing like Kent State because there was no draft, for example.
