Back in the Sewer: The DU Responds to the Lynn Stewart Conviction

Please, tell me again how liberals are patriotic, and don't sympathize with terrorists.

Liberal lawyer Lynn Stewart was just convicted for smuggling messages of violence from terrorists arrested for the 1993 World Trade Center attack, which, for the record, did have terrorist ties to Saddam's Iraq.

As you might expect, many posters on the Democratic Underground think that Stewart was framed, (despite 85,000 audio and video clips of Stewart and her clients) and that the government must have destroyed evidence exonerating her.

DU poster Just Me claims the Steart conviction, " is worse than jailing political dissidents!"

rooboy calls this, "one of the darkest days in the history of the American legal system."

He was apparently unfamiliar with Dred Scott.

Interestingly enough, DUers were even flaming their own over this one, attacking trail lawyers and law students who actually went to the trial who said the outcome was fair and just.

I really must wonder if these people would have voted to convict the terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks.
