Jerry Rubin on Phil Donahue



The insane Jerry Rubin. They don't make anti-war protesters like this anymore. Substitute Afghanistan and Iraq for Vietnam and you may know why he was accidentally hit by a car before the current wars heated up.

Advanced Conspiracy Theory: Where Are the War Protesters?

Every once and awhile, you will see a post at a blog lamenting that there aren't any war protesters around the way there were during the Vietnam War.

Part of the reason is because  of the current all volunteer army in the U.S. Youth who don't want to go to war don't have to. It removes one of the big incentives to protest. You would need some serious rabble rousers to get the youth motivated. You know, like Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. Hey, what ever happen to those two?

Uh, they both died early deaths under unusual circumstances.

Hoffman died at 52 from, ahem, a drug overdose. It was ruled a suicide. Some friends of Hoffman questioned the finding.

Rubin died at the age of 56 after being, ahem, accidentally hit by a car while crossing Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles.

Just saying.
