John Lewis at Edmund Pettis Bridge...He Got Pushed Down

[Fenton Lum]

I would argue that the america public is the party saddled with a sad confusion, but that's wghat denial is for. Anyone who has ever push back against the power structure must now be demonized. This dorection will continue until no one feels that can query the power structure. And you waddle along in a swallow-n-follow daze.

Odd isn't. Folks whose belief system tells them they are against a large centralized govt are always the first to pile on when corporate state power dictates "sic 'em!".

 

[the_human_being]

John Lewis, like John McCain, did something 50 years ago and hasn't done a damn thing since except live in the limelight of his 50 year old legacy. Both men should retire and stfu.

On top of that, he has just lied to us about snubbing this inauguration. He pulled the same grandstanding on Bush stating that he didn't believe that election either. Ho Hum. 15 minutes of fame and all........

Yep! There are over 30 Democrats vowing to "boycott" the inauguration. Liberals are so immature.

Lewis ruined all the work he did in the 60s by becoming a bigoted hypocrite who gloats.

Maine governor to Rep. John Lewis: You need a history lesson

Weaver called Lewis a "Civil Rights turncoat" who has "collaborated with the Democratic Party to oppress black America."
He said the people who beat and ran over Lewis and his fellow marchers that day were Democrats, also pointing to the party affiliation of former Gov. George Wallace (D-Ala.), an avowed segregationist of the time."

Lewis joined those who beat him.

DEMOCRATS WERE IN CHARGE OF THE STATE! I mean, really?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Lewis is a despicable bigoted racist.

Hes beyond delusional. He is a prime example of how someone can be totally whitewashed of real history.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Oldzhiemers and Leftardism have taken their toll on him.
His handlers need to put him in an assisted care home.

bought off you mean right?

Lewis is the one who screamed about Republicans from the House floor, "They're coming for our children! They're coming for our poor! They're coming for the sick, the elderly, and the disabled!"

The crowning identifier of today's Democrat party, is deluded idiots like that who are in elected office.

Hmmm... from the liberals, sudden silence.

 

[Little-Acorn]

How odd.

Liberals were eager to scream and wail over John Lewis today, if their participation in half-dozen threads is any indicator.

Yet when I pointed out it was Democrats and police sent by Democrats who abused Lewis and denied him protection, suddenly none of the liberals want to talk about it.

It's a pattern I've noticed with them over and over. They are happy to denounce Republicans when something bad happens. But when the truth comes out, that it was their own Democrat party that was responsible, suddenly they are nowhere to be found. Or they hastily change the subject, or start blustering and lying, etc.

In 1965, Lewis and other activists led hundreds of civil-right marchers across the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Then-governor George Wallace (D-AL), who had announced "Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever" at his inaugural address, ordered Alabama state troopers to the bridge to harass and beat the marchers. They did, firing tear gas at people who had done nothing wrong, while more Democrat-ordered troopers on horseback charged into them, beating them with clubs. Lewis' skull was fractured, and many other people were badly injured.

Previously in 1963, Lewis was one of the "Freedom Riders" who rode buses (in the front seats, and often sitting next to white passengers in defiance of segregation laws still enforced by the Democrat administration) from city to city in Alabama. When the bus reached Birmingham AL, a huge crowd of people in KKK robes were waiting for them... but then-Commissioner of Public Safety Theophilus "Bull" Connor (D-AL) made sure there were no police. The Freedom Riders were savagely beaten, along with reporters who tried to cover the attacks. The Democrat-staffed KKK then dispersed, and Connor sent in the police fifteen minutes later, to find nothing.

So what has Lewis done in response to the Democrats of the state ordering troops to beat him and his compatriots, and other Democrats carefully withholding police protection from them when it was plain that rioting and violence would soon occur?

Lewis is protesting Republicans.

Yes, Lewis is a civil-right hero. But a sadly confused one.

It's sad to see blacks, of all people, succumb to the democrat party of the kkk....
