Radical lawyer Lynne Stewart yesterday admitted that she believes violence is necessary to thwart governments steeped in "entrenched capitalism." Stewart is on trial for allegedly helping smuggle incendiary messages from blind cleric Omar Abdel-Rahman who is imprisoned for life for plotting to blow up city landmarks to terrorist followers overseas. Prosecutors charge that the acts violated prison rules and aided and abetted terrorist activity.
"I believe entrenched capitalism needs to be changed, and that's not easy," Stewart told Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Dember on her seventh day on the stand in Manhattan federal court.
Asked if violence was necessary to achieve such change, Stewart replied, "I don't think they [the targeted governments] will give up without that kind of threat.
"I'm taking about a popular revolution," she said.

Under cross-examination from Dember, Stewart admitted she knew Rahman advocated violence, preached hatred of America and wanted to destroy Israel.
Asked if she was aware that the Islamic Group was on the U.S. list of terrorist groups, Stewart said, "I did know that, yes.

I am sure that while this hypocrite wants the protections and benefits of our legal system, she has no problem in breaking any law for her advantage.
Just another hypocritical leftist who is too stupid or too depraved to see her own lies and her own hypocrisy.
She deserves no protection that a normal citizen receives, she is a traitor.

Lynne Stewart is a member of the National Lawyers Guild, the legal arm of the Communist Party-USA. CP-USA was controlled and funded through the KGB and the Soviet Union.
She is scum and deserves to be tried and jailed for treason and then have her citizenship revoked and be deported.

I wonder why she just didn't go to North Korea. Oh that's right, she probably likes to eat.
Long live entrenched capitalism.

I wonder who is funding the Lawyers Guild now? Could they be getting money from the Mid-East, hint, hint?

Under cross-examination from Dember, Stewart admitted she knew Rahman advocated violence, preached hatred of America and wanted to destroy Israel. Sounds like she could use a lawyer.

Typical ACLU type lawyer, believe me.
