I must have missed the part when this guy was great. He’s been shill and a fraud all of his life. As goofy as the protestors are, they had enough sense to keep this hack from speaking.

I would like to know why the chanting and sparkle fingers (instead of clapping) - - they did the same thing in DC.

They’ve been doing some kind of weird interpretive dance outside CitiBank this morning. LOL

Occupy Atlanta. The repetition may be mind numbing so skip to the last minute to see John Lewis leave.

"I must have missed the part when this guy was great."

Agreed...that statement had my head scratching.

Neal Boortz a radio host in Atlanta who knows Rep Lewis, says he must have gotten hit upside the head one too many times.
He is as dumb as Shelia Jackson Lee (They planted a flag on Mars)

I’m surprised. Wonder why the crowd didn’t want him to speak? I would have thought he’d be right up their alley, politically/economically speaking.

FWIW, I read an explanation for repeating the speaker. In many places they are not allowed to use megaphones so repeating the speaker allows the people in the rear, if there's a large crowd, to hear what was said. Make of that what you will.

That’s what I thought at first, but both groups I saw had megaphones (and maybe even speakers...) Whatever it is, it has a high creepy factor.

They are freaking looney toon. The sparkling finger thing was to keep noise down and not drown out speaker. The chant thing, who knows, a method to further brainwash the brainwashed?! These people are seriously mad.

It is a family fight. Lewis is one of them

That would certainly detract from the explanation. ;-)

To say the least. Pod people.
