Zombie time does some great reserach here:
Zomblog has obtained an extremely rare copy of the first issue of Osawatomie, a newspaper published by the Weather Underground in 1975. Noteworthy passages are reproduced below, along with exact transcriptions. The full pages, with each passage in context in high resolution, are found at the bottom of this post.
Much of Osawatomie, which was written at a time when the Dohrn-Ayers wing of the Weather Underground was transitioning from terrorism to “working from the inside†for revolution, concerns itself with the need to encourage “organizers†who will work in “communities†and use “audacity†to bring about “socialism†in America.
Don’t believe me? Read the quotes for yourself, and see them in context on the full pages below.
Rather than analyze the significance of the parallels between the ideas in Osawatomie, Barack Obama’s personal history as a “community organizer,†and the strategies, slogans and goals of his campaign for the presidency, I will let you the reader decide for yourself.
As with my earlier posts about Prairie Fire and Obama’s review of Ayers’ book, media members and bloggers are granted full permission to use the images and transcriptions on this page freely and without restriction.
Many thanks to Zomblog contributors experiencedtraveler and Sharmuta, who did the actual legwork of tracking down and obtaining this rare document.
(Coincidence? The image on the left shows the Weather Underground Organization logo in 1975, and the Obama for President campaign logo in 2008.)
The following quotes are scanned directly from Osawatomie, with a transcription below each image.
