Now that Lewis is gone, will the young men of Atlanta wear their pants at half-staff?

[Theodore R.]

They’re going to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma to the John L. Lewis Bridge. The man always seemed outraged. Not even the liberal victories he had seemed to please him that much.

[novemberslady]

well that’s one...

[teeman8r]

Shouldn’t that be AN illiterate dumbshit?

[JesusIsLord]

"I can not find the words to describe how much I disliked this man. He's dead and is going to have to face judgement like all of us. God is more important to me than politics. Politics is NOT my religion."

BLM is taking out the old Dems to make way for the new...

‘He seemed like a illiterate dumbshit.’

he was not, but I always heard that the reason people think blacks are dumb is this guy, sounding like someone out of Amos and Andy was considered a principle black leader...

that was clearly a canard, he spoke the way he spoke...at any rate, RIP...

He is from the time in our history that is being erased; he can join the Confederate statues in the dustbin of history.

Looking around today, what did these “icons” accomplish?

‘will the young men of Atlanta wear their pants at half-staff?’

ha ha ha...

[unclebankster]

Yes it should be an. Noticed it but was feeling lazy. I'm also an illiterate dumbshit.😁

[Beagle8U]

How do they get that “Towering figure” they are putting on all the articles about his death? I think he was only about 5’-8”.

He didn’t tower over anyone.

[Joe Boucher]

Couple months ago there was a report that he was dead.
The story had to be retracted and apologized for.
Guess it just needed a bit more time to be reissued.

I’m going with your up close and personal account, of what I only got to see in pictures. Crowing deceiving Democrats gathered for a political stunt and led by the House _UNT.

[ronniesgal]

i don’t care!!! I hope we’re not going to have a pity party for this cretin.

[Cecily]

“Looking around today, what did these “icons” accomplish?”

They accomplished a great deal, but then cooperated with the white liberals to keep the disadvantaged on handouts for generations to come.

[unclebankster]

I didn’t like him because he was a little partisan prick towards Gingrich. Which surprised me since, they were both Representatives from Georgia for along time. I figured they would of had a better relationship, since Newt was pro civil rights and always complimented Lewis.

[Wallace T.]

Get ready for a McCain level funeral. All former Presidents, possibly excepting Jimmy Carter due to his advanced age, will attend. So will a big percentage of Hollywood types, as well as Mitt Romney and others RINOs. At least two minutes of coverage in TV news reports, including some black entertainer singing Amazing Grace.

[Hot Tabasco]

All Lewis, all morning long......sheesh!

[Susquehanna Patriot]

Keeping an eye out if Mr Lewis will equal or exceed George Floyd’s three state, gold casket, live news feed broadcast funerals. We can be assured that Al Sharpton will be in attendance.

Spot on!
