[edit] Radical past
Today Senator Clinton presents herself as a moderate alternative to Senator Barack Obama in the quest for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. In fact, her past is just as radical (or perhaps more so) when compared to Senator Obama’s. In a recent article in The Nation, Tom Hayden himself a radical from the 1960s, tells of Hillary Clinton’s connection to the Vietnam anti-war movement and radical causes linked to the revolutionary Black Panther Party.
Hayden begins by noting that Hillary Clinton was in the streets of Chicago for three nights at the Democratic Party convention in 1968. At Yale University she helped to set up student monitors in the defense of Black Panther Bobby Seale who along with others were charged in the murder of another Panther they believed was a informant. She and others were looking for technical civil rights violations so the Panthers could walk free. After graduating Yale she continued her defense of Black radicals by going to work for a communist law firm of Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein in California that specialized in defending the Panthers and other revolutionary leftists.
