SELMA, Ala. - Thousands of people are gathering in Selma, Alabama to see President Barack Obama at the 50th anniversary of a landmark event of the civil rights movement.

Charter buses from across the nation are clogging traffic in the riverside town of 20,000.

It's a carnival atmosphere with vendors selling souvenirs commemorating the violent confrontation called "Bloody Sunday."

More like a “Marxist circus” atmosphere. Bread and circuses.

Supposedly a huge vanguard of Illegals is showing up to hijack the event. Is it wrong to hope for a clash between rival liberal groups on the Pettus bridge?

I wonder if ORCA will show up since her Emperor Shining Armour will be showing up to give a speech.

Is he going to claim to be born after Selma again or did he finally read some American history?

Maybe some homofascists crossdressed in suits and wedding gowns can march in the streets as well.

As long as ‘equality’ groups are going to hijack the Civil Rights Movement.

The Gimmedat Tribe have come to the gathering to fill their lie bottles before heading back to their lairs.

It is odd that while Selma took place 50 years ago, there are blacks who are still alive claimed to have marched in Selma, but none of the whites who counter protested the Selma Marchers are still alive.

Ah, Bambi out stoking the fires among his dysfunctional supporters, whom he fears may have noticed that their unemployment level under him is practically at an all-time high.

Al Sharpton is giving the keynote “homily,” just for a little extra.

Obama is not descended from Africans brought to the US as slaves, and in fact his Kenyan family were Muslim Africans who were probably slave traders (to the Arabs) themselves.

If they display Rev. Martin Luther King’s image or quote his words they will have to pay royalties to his parasitic offspring.

“Thousands” showing up. Makes you wonder why “Selma - The Movie” sucked so bad at the box office. It must have been a pretty bad movie.

He will think so.

He’s going to use the occasion to link illegal aliens from south of the border, citizens of other countries, and their aspirations to ignore our laws to the civl rights marches.

Self respecting blacks would let him know they do not agree.
