It is amazing how "forgetful" lefties on here can be. It's not like Mumia Abu Jamal is some obscure case. He was called "the most famous death row inmate" with many supporters, including in Europe (he, a convicted cop killer, is honorary citizen of Paris and a street there was even named after him recently). A supporter of his was nominated by Obama to be assistant AG but the nomination was derailed after even some Democrats refused to vote for him because of his support for the guy people on here claim to never have heard of.

I wonder how long will be until Lefties start to suffer amnesia again and who they will forget next.

And yet nobody here ever heard of him. Curious.
