FLASHBACK: JOHN LEWIS (D-GA) COMPARES JOHN McCAIN AND SARAH PALIN TO GEORGE WALLACE (D-AL).
Is there any Republican president or presidential candidate Lewis hasn’t cried wolf over?
Related: “Lewis is invariably described as a ‘civil rights icon,’ but the man is an utter fraud. He has been coasting on his 50-year-old reputation for decades,” John Hinderaker writes today at Power Line. “There is no reason to treat John Lewis with kid gloves, and Donald Trump doesn’t do so. This morning he used his favorite medium to respond to Lewis’s slanders…Trump could have been a lot harsher,” he adds, after linking to Trump’s tweets.
So, Benedict Arnold was a full American hero at one time.
What’s your point, Mayor?
A true American Hero would not have made disparaging remarks about the incoming president.
Just a little perspective about Lewis, Jackson and others. While they were marching and kind of putting their lives on the line, I was serving in Viet Nam with guys of the same color who were putting and actually did put their lives on the line. And some of them didn’t come back to walk in a march.
Once again, Trump speaks the truth and the left can’t handle it.
Post his accomplishments. Why is he special?
That’s really funny.
Atlanta = Chicago South
KASIM???
An American “hero”? Did he serve in the military during VN? If not, how did he avoid? I’d say he is a typical corrupt pol and racist. “Full stop”.
It’s a violent crime against a person, so I included it. Other crimes, burglary, arson, etc are excluded.
Is this the mayor who fired a fire marshall for being a Christian? That mayor?
No. John Lewis is a liar. He’s a hack. He’s a functioning retard.
...and he looks like an angry turtle outside of his shell.
The gerrymandering is a result of an unholy alliance between mostly white Republicans and black Democrats. Each group gets what it wants: safe districts in perpetuity.
But the real “next Obama” is Ben Carson, that is if it’s skin color that is the deciding factor. Go Ben!!!
Well put; that’s really where we are now.
As this country becomes less “American” in general, the Asian and Hispanic replacements couldn’t care less what happened 50 years ago (when people believed in racial harmony). The decades since have shown it was a pipe-dream, and that assimilation for far too many blacks is simply impossible; once they were no longer expected to “act civilized”, many simply stopped trying and it all fell apart: families, education/job opportunities, morality - all gone.
In fact, it is hard to convince today’s young Americans (black or white) that those idealists from fifty years ago ever accomplished anything at all. Do you see any evidence that MLK ever even lived?
I guess “hero” is in the mind of the beholder. In my mind, Lewis is no hero, he’s a race obsessed loon.
