Moonbat Mike Farrell and the Object of His Love
As an actor, Mike Farrell never amounted to much. If you remember him at all, it's probably as Alan Alda's even blander sidekick on the sitcom M*A*S*H. Now he's striving to make a name for himself as a moonbat. His latest hobbyhorse is clemency for the vicious killer Stanley "Tookie" Williams.
Although Tookie didn't murder any police officers, he has managed to generate almost as much affection as Mumia Abu-Jamal among liberals, evidently due to the savagery of the crimes for which he richly deserves to be executed, and to having cofounded the Crips gang, which has been responsible for literally thousands of murders.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's official response (PDF) to Tookie's petition for clemency makes for some excellent reading. It notes the following:
This cold-blooded killer, Stanley Williams, now seeks mercy, the very mercy he so callously denied Albert [Lewis Owens], Tsai-Shai [Yang], Yen-I [Yang], and Yee-Chen [Lin]. Stanley Williams does not deserve this mercy. In fact, despite the overwhelming nature of the evidence against him, and despite the non-existence of any credible defense, Stanley Williams has steadfastly refused to take any responsibility for the brutal, destructive, and murderous acts he committed. Without such responsibility, there can be no redemption, there can be no atonement, and there should be no mercy.
The murder of Albert Owens may offer some further clues into the Left's affection for Tookie. After shooting him twice in the back with a shotgun, Tookie proclaimed that he did it "because he was white."
Later the cuddly Tookie said of Owens, "you should have heard the way he sounded when I shot him." He then made gurgling noises and laughed. A couple weeks afterwards, Tookie used his shotgun to kill a man, a wife, and their daughter for about $100. He got to hear the funny gurgling noises again.
Instead of showing remorse at his trial, Tookie threatened the jurors. While in prison, he has been involved in numerous fights and has repeatedly threatened and assaulted guards, sending at least one to the emergency room by throwing chemicals into his eyes.
No one seriously doubts Tookie's guilt. The excuse for demanding clemency is that he has supposedly reformed. This notion is based on the fact that while his victims were rotting in the ground, Tookie wrote some children's books. However, if he actually had reformed, he would assist police in combating gang violence. But after a quarter of a century on death row, he still refuses even to be debriefed.
Too bad Tookie can only get the needle once. He deserves it four times over — at least. As for what limousine leftists like Mike Farrell deserve for making a cause out of this evil piece of scum, readers can come to their own conclusions.

MOST of the Hollywood gang is totally nuts.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Ahnuld said he wanted to dig Tookie up in seven years for his booster shot?

Thanks for the "MOST", Archonix! LOL
However, I'm a little concerned that it's taking the Terminator so long to kill this candy bar.
Just got word, though, that Williams' latest appeal to the CA Supreme Court was shot down 6-0. He raised 9 issues, all of which were flatly rejected. In fact, the court didn't have to consider any of them, as they'd already been raised on appeal, so the fact that they were allowed to be argued yet again (and tossed out) makes this all the more sweeter.
Now let's see if the Guv's got the stones to do his freakin job!

I've got a great idea that will make everyone on any side of this issue happy and satisfied.
Let's give Tookie to Mike Farrell. Put him in his care and responsibility. He can be his house "boy" and help the Moonbats battle against the evils of conservatism and Christainity in America.

Doug --- I like your thinking. And the best part is, Mike Farrell's a big enough dipwad to actually do it.

Look for a transcript of Dayside on Fox News. Farrell was on there and I believe he responded to one of the hosts saying "He's a murderer!" with the refutation of "In your opinion."
Um... how about the jury and all the courts that upheld the decision? Their opinion matter, Mike?

I've long advocated paroling violent felons to the households of those agitating for their release (e.g., Norman Mailer). The prospect of having a vicious murderer under the same roof moves the decision from the realm of a intriguing abstraction to a stark reality (which the moonbats unconsciously and immorally figured someone else - but not they - would have to face).
So sleep tight now - with one eye open, listening for the creak of a floorboard....

This just in - Arnold stepped up to the plate.

The Holy Spirit's message on The Christian Prophet blog today says that as long as Tookie lives on earth he pays the price for his mistakes, but when no longer living on earth he is totally forgiven and free.

Speaking of Mumia...guess where his adoring fans showed up this weekend?

Somehow, the Ferris Bueller of the left has something to do with justice for moonbat victims of Katrina, who now know what "shock and awe" feels like, and are demanding their "right to return" after being made victims of an "urban removal conspiracy".

Well Governor Schwarzenager has denied Tookie clemency. So Tookie has a date with the chamber.
Doug and Occam's Beard, how about a reality TV show, 'Life with Tookie?' Wired Mike Farrel's house for sound and video and let things unfold.

I'd like to know which moonbat came up with the idea of a cold blooded murderer writing children's books to demonstrate redemption while he never expresses remorse for his crimes.
Bye bye Tookie... We won't miss you.. GOOD RIDDANCE!
