More fear mongering.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rep. John Lewis urged California delegates today to take their campaign message outside their home state to help send President Barack Obama back to the White House this November.
“You know when to get involved. We need you,” the Georgia Democrat said at a breakfast at the Blake Hotel housing the California delegation. “California’s going to be all right. But we need you to travel to other parts of America and re-elect Barack Obama.”
The civil rights leader shared stories of his activism and experience fighting for equality in the 1960s. He said Democrats now have a “fight on our hands” to ensure justice and freedom for Americans, including same-sex couples who want to marry, for years to come.
“Keep standing up, sticking up and sticking out and get involved and create a nonviolent revolution here in America,” he said.
Lewis’ remarks fired up the crowd of several hundred delegates filling the hotel ballroom for the 8:30 a.m. breakfast.
“Rep John Lewis just spoke about the right to vote & the hope for equality – my eyes are filled with tears,” Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chairman Eric Bauman tweeted after the speech.
this idiot seems to not know history much like most blacks today and why the hell doesn’t the GOP play on this and nform the lack community and churches abot queer marriage, their agenda who was against their civil rights, how queers are sing the black civil rights and think they’re the same, who was for slavery, KKK.
Also maybe it is time for the north east to go on it;s merry way and leave us and then take idiots like Lewis with them,
Fed up with idiots on the left or those who say the Dems are not left wing enough .
Then there was a poor girl aged 11 on this protest against coal plants, I guess mummy hasn;t told her where she get her power from to light the house, etc
Even Obama and Gov Perdue have “joked” about it. When Obama said this, the La Raza crowd chanted “Yes we can”.
Columnists at the NY Times have fantacized about having a Chinese-type system.
A one-party state is exactly what the left wants.
Bauman is reacting to Lewis with his lacrimal glands, surely not with his brain.
Lewis is long past his prime and has morphed into a race hustler of the Al Sharpton-Jesse Jackson type. Two years ago he falsely accused a Tea Party demonstrator of using the "N" word against him in front of the Capitol building. Anyone who concocts such an allegation out of thin air is nothing but a loathsome character.
The Democrats are getting crap their pants scared this election . Barack Obama has done more to harm race relations & screw the economy up in literally 3 years & change than all our nations enemies could do if they tried.
Please see my post # 24.
And possibly- has been charged by others to say these things because he can do so with impunity.
Lewis is a commie loon. If anyone is taking away our freedom, it’s his messiah, Barry.

Whatever credibility and honor he had was lost long ago, especially after his rant on the House floor comparing the GOP to Nazis.
“Dey’re comin’ fo do po, dey’re comin’ fo da ederly, dey’re comin’ for do chidrun !”
More likely, "dey's comin' ta repo da Caddy, dey's comin' to repo da big screen".
Just throwing this out there after having 50 plus years of seeing how so many of the old Civil Rights “icons” really think
Is it any wonder they had detractors?
I mean....we treat those who opposed them as Nazis except a few like Magnus and WFB.....
And ignore how screwed up so many of the “heroes” were.....only a handful have proved to not be Charlatans
Why sure, there, Sparky. All ya'll, now, yell together for... no specific issue. THAT will get everybody's attention, and CHANGE things! Hope and change for.... soemthing... I guess.
Truly, these morons have become caricatures of themselves.
And the Civil Rights Act was a great thing by whose definition?
Magnus...Buckley...and Goldwater all opposed
Northern GOP and non Southern Dems were neither cultural conservatives..together with LBJ they laid the seeds for what has killed us
Nothing to celebrate about that.....there is a reason genuine conservatives opposed those initiatives
This would be the same brilliant John Lewis that made the claim that sharks still follow the routes of slave ships of the 1700’s.
His call for “non-violent revolution” is just code for “burn, loot, and assault” — just as the “civil rights” leaders’ were in the 1960s.
He's just another example of "our" "representatives"....
Another example of the need for TERM LIMITS.
We term limit the POTUS....we need to TERM LIMIT all of them.
Just code for “kill whitey”.
Thanks for the ping!
