As usual, you right-wingers just don't understand basic American Government. Mumia was convicted for violating PA law. The President of the United States cannot pardon someone convicted for violating state law. The President can only pardon someone convicted for federal crimes. Now I know your right-wing brain might be confused by the role that the US Supreme Court (and other federal courts) has in ruling on state-court decisions, but that is the Supreme Court enforcing the Bill of Rights through the 14th Amendment. Gosh, this federal system really is confusing isn't it?

My vote for worst thread ever.

Merely asking the question, stupid as it as, shows you think that there is a possibility that Obama would support Mumia-which of course he probably doesn't even know who the man is.
But since you obviously had no clue that Obama supported the state decision which the Supreme Court recently struck down which imposed the death penalty for a child rapist-you would know that Obama does not oppose the death penalty and supports it in certain instances.

Frankly, its a racist proposition to attempt to try to connect the two.
The racism in this country continues to shock and dismay me.

Congratulations on revealing your total ignorance of what Marxism is with this post.

I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

The phrase is that useful.

Default Weather Underground & Bill Ayers

Like it or not, Barrack does have support from former Weather Underground members-


Barrack Obama's Cop-Killer Supporters

by Jim Kouri at www.theconservativevoice.com


While Barack Obama's friends and supporters in the news media downplay his friendship and business relationship with former terrorist and Marxist university professor Willam Ayers, one aspect of the Ayers terrorism saga that's totally ignored is his reputation as a cop-killer.



For instance, in Nyack, New York, Ayers' terrorist group the Weather Underground launched an armored-car robbery that left two Nyack, NY police officers -- Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Ed O'Grady -- mortally wounded. In addition, the Brinks armored-car driver, Peter Paige was also shot to death by the Weathermen.

Quite simply, Ayers' group of killers left five children without fathers as a result of the brutal and vicious armored car robbery.

Progressives for Obama signatories include Weathermen Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd. Machtinger helped author the the mission statement of the Weathermen that called for revolutionaries within the United States to wage a 'people's war' and attack from within. The government would fall and 'world communism' eventually would be instituted.

In addition to the New York police officers killed, a 1970 pipe bomb in San Francisco set by the group killed another police officer and critically wounded yet another cop. When given the opportunity to serve on boards and appear at press conferences with Ayers, an up-and-coming politician named Barack Obama jumped at the chance.

Recently released records from the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, Chicago show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and press conferences from 1995 to 2001 as directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a professor at the University of Chicago.

Bill Ayers -- along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn -- was an active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing group that advocated violence against the United State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went "underground" in 1970 after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast killed three of the group's members including Ayers' girlfriend at the time.

While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In 1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of alleged "government legal misconduct." In his 2001 memoir, Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home.

During Obama's last year on the board of The Woods Fund (2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a $70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi. In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama.

In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well.

According to sources who served in the US Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, when the Khalidi's left Chicago for Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama.


Jim Kouri, CPP is currently fifth vice-president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police and he's a staff writer for the New Media Alliance (thenma.org). In addition, he's the new editor for the House Conservatives Fund's weblog. Kouri also serves as political advisor for Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Michael Moriarty.

Phillyblog is dead.

Hence why I haven't posted in almost a month. I don't even know if I want to vote anymore because I am sick of both sides.

Not the candidates themselves, but the supporters on both sides are just too annoying.

I seriously might vote for Nader.

What stupidity. You sir are one of the low lifes who continue to lower the dialogue in this country to such a base level that a person cannot serve on the Board of a major college with someone who has a checkered past. Tell me something-should I resign from the Board of Temple University if it includes someone who is a rehabilitated felon? Of course not. It's a ridiculous assertion.

Grow up. Adults in this country can serve altruistically on charitable boards together, and we do not need to do a background check of everyone we shake hands with at a meeting.
It is simply ridiculous.
And when someone says they are for a candidate, that candidate does not adopt the positions of that supporter. A simple 3rd grader would understand that. But clearly you, and Cindy McCain, don't understand that.
So I guess McCain should be locked up since one of his supporters shouted at a rally "kill him". McCain must want to kill Obama!
DUHHHH!
