Abbie Hoffman Movie Project

A friend of mine and I made this movie for History Day last year. We were 8th graders so shut up about how bad it is.

[LadySadist]

more than 8 were arrested - in fact almost 600 people were

[Nirvana04Kurt]

but were they charged with intent to incite riot??

[CultMovieFreak]

This video was actually pretty good. Goddamn I hated history day!

By the way, its pronounced Wis-ter, Massachusetts

[Nirvana04Kurt]

thanks for the compliment, and we figured out the pronunciation after we did the video, but thanks

[crazyjohn50]

Verry nice work. I Hope u got an A+

[ericdwinnells]

not from MA, are you? Worcester is pronounced "wister" and Brandeis is pronounced "bran-dice". Good video though and it's good to see young people thinking about Abbie. I highly recomend you all read Run, Run, Run the Lives of Abbie Hoffman. It was written by his brother Jack. It's the best Hoffman book.

"Join The Conspiracy"

Hoffman rapped his campaign up with slogans like freedom and peace. But in reality he was a Communist Traitor working to Destroy America.

Haha hey I think this is pretty good for 8th graders!! At least you were smart enough to acknowledge abbie hoffman in your movie. Most kids today don't even know who the chicago 8 were. My dad actually lived with one of them, rennie davis, in a commune. He drove rennie to the courthouse where the trial was being held too. Haha, I love how my dad is an old hippie.

why does it sound like you are reading straight from wikipedia? use your own words you incompetent cunt.

cont. by Commies,"nattering nabobs," & all the while they infiltrated peaceful rallies in their disinformation campaigns. I was working to get medical care for the San Diego '72 Rep Convention, and MY phone was tapped!ANYTHING you did to register a protest was put into an FBI file. We SHOULD be able to protest; it's one of the ways Democracy works! It's part of the American mythos. When you educate yourself, you start 2 see the Reality behind the "official story."Painful but necessary 2 do.

Listen, those times were insane. Death hung in the air. Hippies were an outgrowth of the Beat movement, a reaction to the stultifying Eisenhower era, where corruption seethed under the gloss of the perfect hairdo.Anyone with an education learned the REAL reason behind the Vietnam war, and it wasn't any damn Domino Theory.The Yippies were street theater; hell, we tried EVERYTHING we could to get the message out.OUR government discredited any word against their propaganda,said we were infiltrated.
