Organizing for America Supports Amiraults’ Judicial Lynching

"African-American" Barack Obama has no problem with Scottsboro Boys-style injustice

We reported previously how Senate candidate Martha Coakley worked to keep an innocent man in prison to advance her political career. Coakley played a central role in the infamous Amirault scandal, in which innocent people were railroaded to prison on evidence that Martha Coakley and Scott Harshbarger knew or should have known was so flimsy as to defy common sense credibility. The Amirault trial, in fact, bore numerous similarities to Massachusetts' infamous witch trials, in which witnesses were coaxed or even compelled to say that they had seen the defendants with the Devil.

As a purported African-American (a Black person whose ancestors were slaves and whose freed ancestors may have suffered racial discrimination), Barack Obama should be as friendly to judicial lynchings and the willful prosecution of innocent people as Jews, Gypsies, Poles, and Armenians are to genocide. A genuine African-American would know all about the judicial lynching (and attempted actual lynching) of the Scottsboro Boys, nine Black males who were accused of raping two white women the way the Amiraults were accused of sexually abusing children.

...Obama, an attorney who should know better, nonetheless has no problem with what happened to the Amiraults and by implication the Scottsboro Boys. This E-mail we received from Organizing for America speaks for itself.

I remember the Amirault case. I’m still outraged about it.

The more I read about Marther Coakley, the more I think she should be in jail.

Barack Obama's ancestors were not slaves.
Obama is actually descended from slave-owners.
On his mother's side - the Dunhams - the family owned slaves. His black side comes from Africa - where they were never slaves, but probably sold losers in tribal warfare into slavery.

Just for the record, the “evidence” presented against the “Scottsboro Boys” was stronger that the “evidence” presented against the Amiraults.

Both were miscarriages of justice.

The prosecutors and enablers in the Scottsboro case cannot be held accountable today save for their infamy in the historical record.

Anyone connected with carrying out or enabling the prosecutions and extended incarcerations of the Amiraults should be forcibly exiled from the state of Massachusetts.

The more I read about Martha Coakley, the more I think she should be in jail.

Or at least disbarred.
