Tony was speaking hyperbolically.  I don't know exactly when he uttered 
these words, but I don't think he believed, or was understood to mean, 
that everyone in the New Left tore up their voter registration,  went 
underground, and turned violent. But the actions of a minority went a 
ways to discredit the New Left.
