Mumia Abdul-Jamal shot a cop point blank in the face. I don't care if he's from Mars.

If you want to see an example of racism, how about Mumia waving his own race around like a bloody shirt, knowing full well that his melanin level will excuse any of his actions up to and including cold-blooded murder with the typical leftist.

In the typical union heirarchy, the leftists float to the top of the union administration like...well, like things that float to the top. The guys in the rank and file pay their dues to keep their jobs, and get the work done.

My point was that I would bet fifty bucks that the average longshoreman wouldn't know Mumia or any of these other radical leftist causes from a hole in the ground, and if you explained it to them they would probably wonder why we hadn't hung him yet. The union leaders take the dues, pump them to their favorite political causes, and keep the red flag flying. Cripes, did you LOOK at that website?
