Talk:Prairie Fire Organizing Committee

Untitled

You refer to Bill Ayer's quote under Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism: Bill Ayers explains that Prairie Fire “was an attempt to sum up our thinking since the ‘Weatherman’ paper and especially since the townhouse..." When he speaks of the townhouse, I assume he's referencing the Greenwich Village Townhouse Explosion? Perhaps you can elaborate on this in a Notes section as well as add a Wiki Link?

In a similar vein, Mark Rudd says Prairie Fire "was an attempt to influence the movement that we had abandoned back in 1969." I imagine that he is speaking of SDS; do you know if that is the case? I ask because it would be useful to know which movement the book was intended to influence. Wrih (talk) 03:57, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

A possible enhancement might be to add links to racism, imperialism, sexism, homophobia, classism and racial profiling. The sentence "By creating this book" I think it would read better if it stated "When creating this book." As well as combining the last two sentences of that paragraph for example "This is how the Prairie Fire Distribution Committee was created, which later became known as the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee."

Incorporating Primary Sources

The article would benefit from references to primary sources, including the FBI files and *'Outlaws of Amerika': The Weather Underground* (Western Goals, 1982).Historytrain (talk) 22:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

This article is absolutely not NPOV. Rather, it praises a gang of bank robbers. Needs to be completely rewritten from a neutral POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.198.114.99 (talk) 19:14, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
