os 4 tee AE elo "Hall: Lou Gordon Television Show of July 13, 1969, Detroit, Michigan, Featuring Abbott Howard Hoffman, James Freed and Gordon Hall “in this country, says about our Mr. Hall, ‘I know all about this character, Gordon Hall, this paid police agent, let me make it clear we are in no way related either by blood or ideologically.' The late George Lincoln Rockwell, Commander of the American Nazi Party, said about our guest the lowest vilest man I know, I can't wait to throw him in the gas chamber myself. And the late Malcom X Said about Mr. Hall, he is nothing but a white Mercenary. Tlese are pretty strong words coming from both sides. And our left wing extremist is Abby Hoffman, one of the leading symbols of the new radical left. He founded the Yippies and has been instrumental in the disruptions in Chicago last summer, during the Democratic convention. He has been arrested 40 times and faces a possible 10 year prison term for inciting riots in Chicago. His defiance and gquerrila tactics are spelled out in his new book ‘Revolution For the Hell Of It' which appears to be Mr. Hoffman's philosophy toward our society. Mr. Hoffman holds a Masters degree in Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and will be remembered for his appear- ance before the House Unamerican Activities Committee last year with an American flag draped around his chest. Mr. Hall, let's begin with you if we may. What do you consider the dangers of extremism in this country? Oh, I think probably, more than anything else, the capacity for violence. You take Mr. Freed's Minutemen, he may deny that he is a Minuteman, I don't know, we'll have to wait and see. But they're obviously a terrorist group and in the Patriotic Party. They are a white terrorist society in my tudoment and I think it is pretty obvious from vour ef We ese swe whee see Ww rewery a het FE ie eet ek de” intl own description of Mr. Hoffman the kind of thing that his group will do from time to time. Disrupt, use anti-democratic methods against an essentially - democratic society, whatever, the faults may be of that society and so I think the main problem, the main danger if there is any real serious danger is the violence —- obviously. -
