Benjamin Netanyahu speech: Radio host calls for Democrats boycotting address to be hanged
03 March 2015
A far right-wing radio host has sparked a race row, after she called on Democrat politicians, including members of the Black Congressional Caucus, to be hanged if they boycotted a controversial speech by Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress.

This freaky woman's show is apparently internet-only. Less than 600 followers. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/askshow
