We now take the wayback machine to 1999:
What a collection of leftist garbage this guy is. How long can Obama continue to look the other way?More than 150 demonstrators marched from 14th Street and Broadway to the Oakland Federal Building to demand that the Justice Department re-open its corruption investigation of the Philadelphia Police Department.
Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a death row inmate convicted for the 1981 shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer, said the protest was called after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected claims that Abu-Jamal, a former radio journalist and Black Panther, did not receive a fair trial.
“We knew there was another event going on, but the timing of the court decision is what dictated when the protest was held,” said Van Jones, a San Francisco civil rights lawyer who helped coordinate the protest march.
Jones said about 15 protesters occupied the rotunda at the Federal Building on Clay Street in an act of civil disobedience with the hope they would be arrested.
One pundit noted that Jones could never have even been approved for a tour of the White House, let alone a White House job, with his background. No wonder Obama gave him a job that didn't require Senate confirmation. This guy may end up being the poster boy for a movement to end all czars.
