Todd Gitlin pictured here [http://conservapedia.com/images/d/dc/Sdsorgchart.JPG] on the [[Students for a Democratic Society]] organizational chart, mentioned in the SDS, [[Carl Davidson]], and [[Progressives for Obama]] article. Gitlin, Davidson, [[Tom Hayden]], [[Mark Rudd]] and [[Bernardine Dohrn]] traveled to Cuba where the [[DGI]] trained the [[Weather Underground]] in guerilla warfare prior to the 1968 [[DNC]] Convention.
Gitlin, according to the SDS organizational chart, also served with [[Prairie Fire Organizing Committee|Jeff Jones]], sitting director of NY State Apollo Alliance, an organization founded by [[Obama]] appointee and self-proclaimed communist [[Van Jones]].
Of all the SDS/Progressive for Obama veterans, Gitlin dissented with the more violent radicals like [[Bill Ayers]] and did not join the WUO although his extreme leftist and communnist affiliations have persisted to this day.
