Civil rights icon says McCain stirs hate

politico.com ^ | 10/11/08 | MIKE ALLEN & JONATHAN MARTIN

[FlingWingFlyer]

Lewis is a “civil rights icon?” ROTFLMAO!

[A_Former_Democrat]

I laugh how the media et al always labels black “leaders” as “civil rights icons.”

What a joke. These people are the biggest racists alive.

[pnh102]

Was John Lewis the same idiot representative who claimed that slave trade caused sharks to feast along the slave transit routes from Africa to the USA because the dead slaves who were thrown overboard made a good snack?

[Godwin1]

“Civil Rights Icon.” Maybe for the liberal MSM, that is what he is. For me, Lewis is a cynical hustler who has made a good living on racial grievance for half a century. If Hussein Obama wins, the likes of the hate-filled racist Lewis will be elevated to leadership positions in every government department. Lewis knows full well that Wallace was the victim of an assassination attempt during his presidential campaign. In comparing Wallace to McCain, he is suggesting that McCain should be shot also. These people are beyond despicable.

[CondorFlight]

“John Lewis marched at Selma during the voting rights march there, and was beaten there along with the other marchers. He was a key member of SNCC, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, during the civil rights movement. He has been considered an icon because of that”

And where did these Icons lead the slaves after they got them out of Egypt? To the Promised Land?

They left them scattered and prey to everything in the Wilderness.

70% illegitimacy (higher in some places); low high school graduations (79% in Detroit); high college drop-out rate;
lack of two-parent homes; high abortion rates (resulting in lack of a concept of the responsible father; and lessening of women’s status); etc.

The Civil Rights generation defeated Segregation; but they had no stake in a black generation that was successful and didn’t need their guidance or a handout from the government any more. Or one that didn’t want to consider themselves victims in need of their leadership.

You know you are making headway when the liberals start screaming HATE SPEECH....

Sorry, but the truth hurts and is good for all Americans.

[Need4Truth]

I am started to get a sense that the “fire” and meltdown are beginning to consume the Democrat pary. These people are speaking out of some kind of powerful emotion. Is it fear? They’re started to act like they’re becoming unhinged. That’s just my sense and I maybe all wet.

[Fred]

[God luvs America]

here’s the contact info for Lewis:

http://www.house.gov/formjohnlewis/contact.html

I called his “press emergency number” and spoke with Darren Johnson (404-895-7850) and referenced the Politico article with quotes....

I asked where I could find congressman Lewis’ comments on Obama saying he would bring a gun to a knife fight several months ago....his answer was he was not sure...

I then asked where I could find congressman Lewis’ comments on 0bama encouraging his supporters to get in the face of McCain supporters in Nevada just one month ago...he said “if those comments are true I am not sure”...

he then suggested I call Lewis’ media communications director in the DC office (he wanted to get off the phone)...her name is Brenda Jones...I will call her Monday or Tuesday, if the office is closed....

several Freepers have already called and will call the office next week...take a few minutes to make the call...

[PapaBear3625]

"As public figures with the power to influence and persuade, Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all.

Sounds like a threat. "Thou SHALL NOT disrespect the Obamessiah!"

[aroostook war]

That was Rep. Major Owens (D-NY)

[Sig Sauer P220]

Yes, because McCain is a white devil. All whiteys are racist, or so I’m told.

[Rodm]

Lewis needs to shut up. We endured 8 years of Reagan hatred and 8 years of Bush derangement hatred, Newt hatred, Christian hatred.

We are just feed up with leftwing BS.

[Alter Kaker]

Isn’t this the Rat McCain said he admired?

Uh, worse. John McCain said John Lewis is one of the three wisest men he's ever known.

[patriot08]

This is laughable compared to the insults, lies and abuse heaped upon McCain- and expecially Sarah.
Sarah asked for our help the other day with the media.
Don’t let her down. We CAN make a difference.

FReep THE MSM!

SEND THEM DAMAGING INFO ON OBAMA. DEMAND THEY DO THEIR JOB AND INVESTIGATE.

And while we’re at it, call McCain out on his ridiculous statements re; Obama.
CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!

McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!

WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.

HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??

.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

FReep ‘EM OUT!

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

McCain, in a book he wrote with aide Mark Salter called “Why Courage Matters: The Way to a Braver Life,” had lauded the leadership of Lewis in the nonviolent civil rights movement.

Hopefully, Juan is learning that consorting with Rats while stabbing your true friends in the back was probably a really bad move.

John McCain said John Lewis is one of the three wisest men he's ever known.

Who are the other two? Algore and Cuomo?

[Alter Kaker]

Who are the other two? Algore and Cuomo?

Not quite that bad: General Petraeus and Meg Whitman. I'm trying to envision the three of them -- Petraeus, Whitman and Rep. Lewis sitting down for coffee and not knowing what to say to one another.

[DemonDeac]

John did some great things for this country in the early 1960s. If the forty five years since he has been a cancer.
