60s Needle in Academic Haystack
by: Malcolm A. Kline, March 25, 2008
Finding a front-page 60s radical four decades after the fact is a bit like finding a needle in an academic haystack: You just have to stumble upon the institution of higher learning that the professional protestor sought shelter in.
Case in point: Mark Rudd of Students for a Democratic Society. We unearthed this pop culture relic thanks to Jonah Goldberg’s invaluable book, Liberal Fascism.
“Today his is a math teacher at a community college in Albuquerque, New Mexico,” Goldberg relates. “Rudd has expressed remorse for his violent youthful activities, but he is still a passionate opponent of American (and Israeli) foreign policy.”
“Many of us forget that the Weather Underground bombing campaign was not a matter of a few isolated incidents,” Goldberg reminds us. “From September 1969 to May 1970, Rudd and his co-revolutionaries on white radical left committed about 250 attacks, or almost one terrorist bombing a day (government estimates put the number much higher).”
Rudd alit at Central New Mexico Community College where, his ratemyprofessor.com ratings indicate, he sticks to teaching math. What should make those concerned about homeland security considerably less secure is Rudd’s guest-lecturing gig, by FBI invitation, at Quantico.

I agree.
Are you kidding me? I hope that FBI intern-in-Hansen-waiting-to-happen never makes it into the bureau.
This guy doesn't know much about Venezuela or Venezuelans.
Exactly!
Maybe she was undercover. (!!!)
Let’s make a stew out of Mark Rudd to feed the poor of Venezuela. For the common good.
FBI invites CAIR, Rudd and God knows who else are guest lecturing at Quantico.
