The obits have ignored their ties, but this former president of the SDS who saved her from Goldwater conservatism.
The 1960s-era radical Carl Oglesby, former president of Students for a Democratic Society, died several weeks ago, earning many respectful obituaries. Almost none, excepting the New Republic's, seemed to cite his formative influence on a young Hillary Clinton.
In a 1994 Newsweek interview about her Methodist faith, the then First Lady revealed that Oglesby's 1966 screed against the Vietnam War, published in a Methodist youth magazine, had deeply shaped her. Her new stance on Vietnam shifted her from a Goldwater conservative to McGovern liberalism. (I wrote about this interview and Oglesby for the March 1995 American Spectator.)
Even the Guardian in Britain, in its own obituary, hailed Oglesby as "one of the most talented and interesting of the leaders of the 1960s American left." He didn't come to radical political activism until he was already a husband and father in his late 20s, but he rose quickly in SDS until displaced for not being sufficiently far left. Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver unsuccessfully asked Oglesby to be his running mate in a symbolic 1968 presidential bid. Oglesby's passionate appeal, "Let Us Shape the Future," to a massive 1965 anti-war demonstration in Washington, D.C. is remembered as classic. Despite his attacks on capitalism, he later flirted with Libertarianism. And his post-1960s decades seem to have been relatively quiet, moving across different professions, and reputedly nursing an obsession with JFK's assassination. In a sign of his eventual domestication, Oglesby co-wrote a book about buying your "dream house" with PBS home repair star Bob Vila.

This witch hasn't had to pay for anything her entire, sordid life. Vince Foster knew these two for what they are and look what happened to him. A Fort Marcy picnic where Hillary supplied the food and the bullets.
so much for the methodists on their way to suicide.
The gun for Vince was in the picnic basket.
“Help yourself, Vince” cooed the voluptuous Hillary.
Oddly enough, I was present when Hillary addressed the Wellesey class of 1969.

Huh, it happened through reading an article? And here I thought it was because that was when she got possessed.
What did the stupid bitch read to make her start suppressing technology?
