Dem Rep. John Lewis Says He’s “terrified” Racist Tea Party Will Tear Obama Down…

If Martin Luther King were alive they'd be saying the same things about him.

John Lewis is the closest link we have to MLK today

MLK's father was a republican. Was he a racist?

Most black people were republican back then. There have been some changes since the republicans became the racist party.

Can you imagine that only 10 % of blacks vote republican today?

Yep. You plantation Democrats did a number on the other 90%. Sad for the American negro.

Want them back?

Simply explain how they will be better off with republican representation

Simple!

Glad you 'axed.'

Even you have to admit that is lame platitudes good for maybe ten percent of the vote

You lefties should be condemning the race hustlers in your party, but you don't have the courage.

"What white people fear, at bottom, is retribution. This is why discussion of actual injustice is supposed to be off-limits. Despite the glorious principles spelled out 50 years ago on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, they lack a functioning concept of justice. To admit the harms of the past is to invite payback. When Andrew Breitbart raised a race panic over Shirley Sherrod, the real issue was that he and his followers were incapable of understanding Sherrod's story of transcending racial resentment. They were too trapped by rage and paranoia to get the point."

Fifty Years After the March White People Are Still a Disgrace

"white people are still afraid: of young men in hoodies; of being blamed for their fear of young men in hoodies. Of reverse racism. Of armies of fake voters, bent on electing white-hating militants. Of sharia law. Of mild ethnic putdowns. Of the New Black Panther Party. Of one tiny and absurd thing after the next."

And these rightwing dolts are freaking out as the know the demographic shift has overtaken them

Interesting, another example of left wing racism. Are blacks the only people that wear hoodies? Apparently to the left wing all that wear hoodies are black as if a uniform.

Your time is coming to an end , maybe time to pay the piper

If you have an electorate who uses the same decision making skills that a three year old uses when turning their nose up at spinach and green beans, no. I DON'T want everybody to vote!

Not if their level of 'discernment' results in 8 years of THIS kind of dysfunction and damage being done to America, the American government and our system of justice and government and to Americans, individually and by demographic segments and as an entire nation.

No.

I think those who voted in Obama have shown EXACTLY why Weyrich's comments make more sense today than ever before!

Certainly more than they did when he made them!

Just go along to get along, huh tom

Let us see, what exactly does he have to be proud about when someone else gets elected? Oh right he is proud of his racism.

Let us see, the democrats have dominated the government going on 8 years now with arguably a super majority for one year and we see the results.

Notice he doesn't campaign on the accomplishment of Obama but on fear generated over old ladies with tea bags in their hats. Quite amusing, thanks for sharing the morning is a good time for a laugh.

What does John Lewis have to be proud of in the election of the first black president?

John Lewis fought for civil rights and was willing to give up his life for freedom and liberty. The election of a black man as President showed that his struggles for Civil Rights was not in vain

John Lewis is a great American

Once again Jake you add to the humor, thanks. I reviewed his web site and see nothing of note and surprisingly little about black issues. Was one post on LGBT "rights."

But let's see what he wrote about Holder stepping down because finally his corruption and incompetence has caught up with him. There really is only one issue that seems important to Lewis, race. Funny how when race is the primary issue to a white person they are racists, but when it is to a black person it is honorable.

Rep. John Lewis on Resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder The Website of Congressman John Lewis Serving the 5th Congressional District of Georgia

Eyewitness

In 1965, at the height of the modern civil rights movement, activists organized a march for voting rights, from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, the state capital. On March 7, some 600 people assembled at a downtown church, knelt briefly in prayer, and began walking silently, two-by-two through the city streets.
With Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) leading the demonstration, and John Lewis, Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), at his side, the marchers were stopped as they were leaving Selma, at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, by some 150 Alabama state troopers, sheriff ’s deputies, and possemen, who ordered the demonstrators to disperse.
One minute and five seconds after a two-minute warning was announced, the troops advanced, wielding clubs, bullwhips, and tear gas. John Lewis, who suffered a skull fracture, was one of fifty-eight people treated for injuries at the local hospital. The day is remembered in history as “Bloody Sunday.”

1965 was over 50 years ago. Most of the asshole brigade were not even alive then. However, it is obvious today that John lewis did definitely suffer a skull fracture then. He has an excuse for his idiocy. What is your excuse?

Stupidity is defined as an inability to learn. The desire not to learn should also fall into that definition.

The fact that John Lewis was a civil rights hero fifty plus years ago, does not excuse his obvious racism today. You loons should learn little things like that.

Likewise, anyone that supported and/or voted for Obama because he is Black, is a racist by definition. Discrimination due to skin color is racism. You should learn little things like that also.

Anyone with even a little self control should be able to finally watch Romney's appeal to the NAACP without your automatic Liberal blinders and defense shields preventing your enlightenment.

I'd bet a good many of you will watch this and secretly wish he'd been elected instead of Obozo.

Black America would have been SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better off with a Romney Administration. But racist impulses sometimes ill serve Blacks just as much as they do Whites, I guess.

It was a weak appeal that obviously missed the mark

 

[guno]

It is a perilous world, the world rightwing white christians inhabit. The Black and Brown hoards are rioting are always just around the corner, lurking in the shadows. The white christians are angry and afraid with the demographic shift is upon them.

What white christians fear, is retribution. This is why discussion of actual injustice is supposed to be off-limits. And when it is brought up the yell people are playing the race card.

Who wants to be part of this degraded and ignorant white christian culture? The christian White culture is a dead end. It's trashing the apartment after receiving the eviction notice. White christians are so confused and terrified by others

All we can do is grab the popcorn sit and watch their show as the changes are coming faster then they realize, and for the better!

Then watch Mitt Romney's genuine sincerity and nuts and bolts solutions and the care and respect in which he regards the Black community in America in the NAACP video.

Romney would have been better for the country than Obama and better for the Black community than Obama.

...For some reason, the Nobel comittee looks at making progress in racial harmony as peace

They gave the prize to Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama

Conservatives opposed them all

Oh, and, just for the record...

Obumble's Nobel Peace Prize a[[ears tp jave had very little to do with promoting racial harmony...

"...The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons..."

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 to President Barack Obama - Press Release

Straight from the horse's mouth... the Nobel organization itself.

"Your Honor... the prosecution rests."

Yea...The Nobel Committee can be diplomatic when they want to be

For some reason, they did not want to tell the United States that they are a bunch of racist assholes and Obama was recieving an award for winning the presidency under such a climate

The United States are a bunch of racist assholes?

Hmmmmm... most Americans would disagree.

Are you an American?

If so, why are you a self-hater?

Hating your own country and countrymen so much that you would label them thus?

Self-haters are the very worst kind of 'enemies within' and 'fifth columnists' and are the fertile ground upon which the seeds of tyranny and treason oftentimes fall.

Sounds to me as though you really do need to lighten-up on your own people.

As to Obumble winning the Presidency in this supposed climate of so-called 'assholes'...

Let us not forget that it was a majority of these same 'racist assholes' that set aside race and voted for Obumble regardless.

Given that he was a first-term Junior Senator and ex community organizer and time-server in the Illinois legislature in Springfield who had done next to nothing to distinguish himself before the Democratic National Committee gave him the keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention and afterwards worked hard to turn him into a rock star - without the slightest justification other than a charismatic bent - setting aside race and voting for Obumble - twice - is not what I would call the work of a nation of racist assholes.

Like I said - the Nobel Committee diluted and cheapened its globally-coveted Prize, by giving it to someone who had been manufactured and silver-spooned by a national political party steering committee - someone who hadn't done a damned thing related to Peace, by the time nominations closed down in February 2009.

Wrong prize-label.

Wrong-headed Euro-Liberal thinking, too.

Silly dumb-ass Euro-trash.

Let me explain 300 years of slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, firebombing black schools and churches.....
Yes that does make you a country of racist assholes
For Obama to come from that situation to become president of that country is a historic accomplishment

If that was even partially true, Dumbass, Obama would never have been elected President, twice. You loons seem to just talk out your asses with whatever you had for lunch. You don't make any sense, and you are not even reasonably consistent in your rhetoric.

Nobody alive today ever experienced slavery, and most alive today never experienced Jim Crow, lynchings, or firebombing of Black Churches and schools. Obama never experienced any of that, and your concept that he came from that is ignorant nonsense. That makes you a race baiting asshole of the first order. And, ignorant to boot.

No, it wasn't a weak appeal.

It was Blacks who were unable or unwilling to actually hear Romney's message.

They were pre-judging what Mitt would say.

They knew they would vote "Black" rather than 'Technician."

Technician?

Everyone knew, and many feared, he would be elected and fulfill his promise of fixing America the way a 25 year successful businessman could.

He is a technician in the way he would go about repairing our our Bush bruised and Obama obliterated nation.

And America has never needed fixing more than it has in this decade.

Obama’s Staggering Record of Failure

In advance of President Obama’s four-nation Asian tour this week, the Washington Post published an article saying this: President Obama’s bid to focus U.S. attention on Asia has failed to meet the lofty expectations he set three years ago in a grand pronouncement that the new emphasis would become a pillar of his foreign policy. The result, as […]

saying this:

President Obama’s bid to focus U.S. attention on Asia has failed to meet the lofty expectations he set three years ago in a grand pronouncement that the new emphasis would become a pillar of his foreign policy.

The result, as Obama prepares to travel to the region… has been a loss of confidence among some U.S. allies about the administration’s commitment at a time of escalating regional tensions. Relations between Japan and South Korea are at one of the lowest points since World War II, and China has provoked both with aggressive actions at sea despite a personal plea to Beijing from Vice President Biden in December.

The same story could be said of the Obama presidency on issue after issue, in foreign policy and on domestic matters. The lofty expectations and grand pronouncements of Obama–unmatched by any presidential candidate in my lifetime–have crashed against reality time and time again.


It’s not simply that Mr. Obama has fallen short of what he promised; it’s that he has been, in so many respects, a failure. Choose your metrics. Better yet, choose Mr. Obama’s metrics: Job creation. Economic growth. Improving our health-care system. Reducing the debt. Reducing poverty. Reducing income inequality. Slowing the rise of the oceans. Healing the planet. Repairing the world. The Russian “reset.” Peace in the Middle East. Red lines in Syria. Renewed focus on Afghanistan. A new beginning with the Arab world. Better relations with our allies. Depolarizing our politics. Putting an end to the type of politics that “breeds division and conflict and cynicism.” Working with the other party. Transparency. No lobbyists working in his administration. His commitment to seek public financing in the general election. The list goes on and on.

By now, nearly five and a half years into the Obama presidency, objective people can draw reasonable conclusions, among which are these: Barack Obama was among the least prepared men to ever serve as presidency. It shows. He has been overmatched by events right from the start. He is an excellent campaigner but unusually inept when it comes to governing.

By temperament and experience, based on skill set and ability, Mr. Obama is much better equipped to be a community organizer than to be president of the United States.

For the sake of our nation and much of the world, I wish he had stayed on Chicago’s South Side.

Barack Obama’s election was one of the proudest days of my life.
I felt like I had spent decades fighting for that moment…and in many ways I had.
But now 6 years later, Republicans are trying once again to tear the President down. And quite frankly, it terrifies me what they could do if they grow their Tea Party Majority in this election.
That’s why I need your help. That’s why I need you to answer President Obama’s call-to-action right now. I’m not ready to give up on his last 2 years in office. And you shouldn’t be either.
The most critical deadline of the election is in 3 days. Can I count on you right now?

You are wrong on just about every thing you mention. Black people are also wary of young men in hoodies, and for a damn good reason. The correct word is wary, but you wouldn't know that. And, yes, people are worried about reverse racism, because it is just as bad as any other form of racism. You wouldn't know that either.

The Demographic shift is still decades away, and neither you nor your crystal ball knows what America will look like, or vote like, at that time.

What old White guys, much like old Black guys and old Hispanic guys worry about is the utter ignorance of the coming generations, and their inability to think for themselves.

You are a poster child for that concern.

John Lewis is a great American Patriot, the Tea Party is a bunch of frauds wrapping themselves in the flag

He is a true American Patriot

Ya wanna bet that in a couple of days these racist scum will be posting whines about how those darn ole lib-rules accuse them of being racist.

Fact is, the tee potties are KKK lite. They don't wear their bed sheets but they're still anti-America Pootarian slime.

Cutting taxes and spending is racist. Got it. And apparently your view that blacks are less able to support themselves and pay their own bills isn't. Got it, Archie Bunker.
