John Conyers, into “crap,” and threaten to make Obama a one-term president. Posted: Fri Aug 14, 2009 7:44AM

GeoClan.com interview about Journalists for Mumia Abu-Jamal  - by Hans Bennett interviewed by Clayton RuleyThose advocating this radical journalist's execution show a disturbing lack of concern about the undeniable problems of racism (and all documented police/DA/judicial misconduct) throughout this case. At the most fundamental level, the FOP-led 'Fry Mumia' campaign's lack of concern is racist....The FOP appeals to a racist lynch-mob mentality that has long infected the US, so calling this a 'legal lynching' is no exaggeration.
