A Clown is A Clown is A Clown is A Clovn
Dear hearts, we have in our midst the greetest -
éebsolutely the biggest fruitceke of them ell. He's been
Gescribed es the best stendup comedian in the country,-an
eppellaetion vell deserved. Wwe speek, of course, of that
loveeble, self-proclaimed idiot Abbie Hoffmen.
Everyvnere that Atbie goes the pigs are sure to
follov. He's that darling of the "New York Times", of TV, of the
oe FBI. vhet more coulc @ real nut went? He's the idol of the
ae? nut fringe of the movement. He's the king of the Kids.
_ Someday, when his finel fuse blows out, he'll be the king of
Creeanore. Abbie is pulling off the biggest put-on of ell.
Sit back end enjoy him. Everytime he eppeers on TV, he takes
another chun out of the peece movement. With pels like
deer, old Abbie, who needs friends in the esteblishrent?
Smears scree arora Eel hee SENOS VERA ERE EA 9 Gb oa eppcdr thet
&vbie hes them by the bells too. We see by the papers thet Abbie
_ Bee oe the establish ‘ent breed during the surmer of 1°65. He
> worked es a “consultrnt” (of cll things) in the Youth Service
Agency of the Humsn Resources Administration. Get this....He
rocked those middle cless, plestic taxpeyers to the tune of
$40.00 per dey for 21 dsys. Pow! Bem! Beng! Thet's enough
to keep an acid-head happy “for e year.
Well, I suppose cne can't bed mouth Abbie's chewing
on tne public tit. After ell, it's bread that counts, not where
it came from. Some of us do believe in the student-worker
revolutionery efforts It seems a bit of a shame when the squsres
identify the movement “through the ections of a clown. Along side of
Abbie, Dave Dellinger is ae no-show. °
The trouble with Abbie and his former pal Jerry Rubin,
is that the serious workers for peace have nothing, absolutely
nothing in common with them. Ther jokes, public and private, have
cost the movement so much ground as to be unbelievable. Their
pranks have done more to alienate the support from the liberals
than any other..actions taken during the past several years. Is
it worth it? We remember when Abbie threatened to go to Prague
and stand in front of e Russian tank. I think he said he
intended to pee on it. Too bad he didn't go. The picture of
Abbie being run over by a T-55 would rank with the funniest scenes
of ali times.
Do your thing, Abbie. Entertein the world. In the
meantime, we in PL and SDS will try a4 do our thing. We ask one
thing,pal. Give us a chance.
