Subject: SDS is/was NOT a left-wing militia
Tuesday March 30th on Countdown, Mr. Olbermann referred to the SDS and the SLA as examples of left-wing militias in the past, similar to the right-wing militia group whose members have just been arrested in Michigan.
I assume that Mr. Olbermann mis-spoke when referring to the SDS as a militia, perhaps instead meaning to mention the Weather Underground or some other group. The SDS, or Students for a Democratic Society, does not have a history of violence. Quite the opposite, they advocate change through non-violence in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The idea that the SDS was ever armed or carried out military-style training is simply false.
I request that Mr. Olbermann correct himself on air. The SDS continues its work today towards building a more democratic and peaceful society.
