Refusing to commute Tookie’s sentence from execution to life in prison without parole didn’t make Arnold look tough. It made him look like a great big “girlie-man.”
That's just the opposite of what FReepers were saying. Of course, this is Bill, so that's expected.

Typical leftist Newspeak: socialist is "mainstream" & mainstream is "right-wing"; liberation is "terrorism" & terrorism is "liberation"; Bush is an "idiot" & Kerry is a "genius"; Ah-nold is a "girlie-man" & Tookie is a "role model".
They live in Bizzaro World!
Does Arnold really need to "look" tough, anyway? I doubt he has that kind of insecurity. Unlike the typical leftist, I don't think how one "looks" should drive decisions. Bill demonstrates that he is superficial as well as delusional.

This piece is incoherent, and it surprises me that he ever made his living with his pen.

California’s blood-thirsty pack of wolves...

No, he's not referring to multiple murderers here, or to organized gangs of multiple murderers. He's referring to the victims and people who want justice done. You and me, in other words.

In capital punishment cases, it’s easy to follow the lynch mob

In Press's world, the lynch mob are the people who work through the system to achieve a conviction. He forgets that its actually Williams's victims who died without benefit of judge or jury.

He actually undermined the case for capital punishment by proving how unfair, unjust and unevenly applied it is across the country.

Does even Press doubt Williams' guilt? No, I didn't think so. He believes, though, that his guilt doesn't matter.

his cause was embraced by celebrity defenders Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, Joan Baez, Mike Farrell and Rev. Jesse Jackson. Without them, we never would have heard of Tookie Williams.

This is true, and the fact it is true undermines his case. He says capital punishment is unfair because not every death row inmate excites the interest of celebs. Celebrity did not protect him from justice. Justice was not swayed by pressure from outside the justice system. Press should be glad about that, but inexplicably he is not.

People who are well-represented at trial do not get the death penalty.”

Does Press believe that the leader of the largest gang in California could not afford a lawyer? Does he really believe that? Again, this case proves the opposite. With all the lawyers money could buy, and all the celebrity and all of the journalistic fawning his toadies could muster, he went to the gas chamber just the same.

DNA testing has shown that even many people in prison are not guilty.

Again, is he arguing that Williams is innocent? No? Then why even bring this up?

After all, why did Tookie Williams get so much political and media attention? ... because his cause was embraced by celebrity defenders Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, Joan Baez, Mike Farrell and Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Not to mention, the ACLU, the National Lawyers Guild, the International Socialists Organization, The Socialist Workers Party, etc. See also: Communists for Tookie

and without trhe likes of Tookie Williams we would never hear of Joan Baez and Mike Farrel. They feed off eachother. It is a symbiotic relationship.

New Math 2+2=5; Newspeak: Good=Bad; Bad=Good.
The Media wasn't against Saddam and his sons' torture, nor the U.N.'s permissive genocide in the Sudan, nor the Muslim terrorists beheading civilian hostages.

Face it! The U.S. media is cowardly and antiAmerican.
They are psychopolitical tools applying the neoMarxist tenet of "perverse opposition" - as it appears several congressmen/fems incessantly apply as well. It angers me that good American youth sacrifice their lives and well being in wartime while these (extreme profanities withheld) effete rats pontificate and bloviate their destructive ideological absurdities. I've NEVER known in my long lifetime such obstructive enemies among congress members to be worse than they are currently. The fact that traitorous senators Jay Rochefeller and John Kerry consort with the enemy as independent agents is beyond reason for tolerance.
The abominable quisling! Speaking of execution...anti-death penalty is a self-defensive ploy for treasonous leftists.

"I've been hearing that whining about the disproportionate number of minorities on death row for *decades* now. Does it ever occur to these soft on crime lefties that these savages would not be sentenced to death if they did not commit heinous murders?!"

The lefties are driven by their radical agenda despite stats, truth, facts and realities. They are like Fire Ants.
They are groupthink-swarm on constant attack and devour.
Throw it back into their faces. I am really sick of them.
No tolerance - because some people do not deserve being tolerated. Simple truth.
