Farrakhan says Obama draws a 'oneness of spirit' CHICAGO - After months of silence about his support for Barack Obama, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said in an address Sunday that the new president-elect has a God-given capacity to handle any burdens he'll face as the nation's leader.   Nations:U.S.   People:Barack Obama Al Sharpton Jesse Jackson Hillary Clinton   Activities:US Election 2008   Source:(AP)   2008-11-10 Viewpoint: What's Wrong with the Hate-Crimes Bill Ten years ago this past weekend, Matthew Shepard died. He was 21 but looked maybe 17, and everyone who knew him called him Matt, never the more formal Matthew. He was mostly still a kid, but he became an international symbol after two men he met in a bar pretended to be gay, lured him into a truck, savagely beat him and left him to die tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyo. He held on for five days after being found but never recovered consciousness.   People:Al Sharpton   Source:(Time)   2008-10-13 Ga. cop killer gets last-minute execution reprieve JACKSON, Ga. - The U.S. Supreme Court gave a reprieve to a Georgia inmate less than two hours before his scheduled execution Tuesday for the 1989 slaying of an off-duty police officer.   Nations:U.S. South Africa   People:Al Sharpton Jimmy Carter   Source:(AP)   2008-09-23 McCain's words not always in synch with GOP ST.
