The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday compared the violent, bloody attacks on African Americans during civil rights marches in 1965 to voter ID laws passed by various states in the last few years. Co-anchor Norah O'Donnell talked to Oprah Winfrey, producer/star of the new film Selma. O'Donnell marveled, "...Given the Voting Rights Act, 1965, I went back and looked. Thirteen states have passed more restrictive voter ID laws in the last three years, that states are trying to make it harder to vote." [MP3 audio here.]
Actor David Oyelowo, who plays Martin Luther King in the film, slammed the 2013 Supreme Court decision that struck down part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. He derided this as "dismantling" the act and added, "...One of the things the film does is you see the parallels two between Selma and Ferguson, you see the country hasn't changed enough, hasn't changed that much."

Sure it is
This is liberal BS at its best
Yeah one day when they arrive at work at CBS and have to show their ID, just beat the hell out of them so they can see the difference.
Dirty Desperate Democrats diving off the deep end, again.
- playing the race card
- playing the rape card
- playing the immigration card
- playing the torture card.
OK, CBS — Are you saying that voter ID laws are racist because blacks are too stupid or they’re too lazy to get an ID? Which is it? If you’re gonna make excuses, please specify the basis of those excuses.
The ONLY reason to oppose voter ID is to SUPPORT VOTE FRAUD!
Man they must be doing a TON of voter fraud if they are fighting this hard to keep voter ID off the books
Get the Voter’s List where the author is from and be there when his Polling Place opens. Just say you are him and vote. That’s how the pros do it.
Only harder for non citizens to vote.
hee hee... great idea
Then let her know she voted 'Republican'
Pretty soon, we’re going to be hearing that [prison] == [torture].
“The journalists at CBS This Morning on Monday compared the violent, bloody attacks by Democrats on African Americans during civil rights marches in 1965...”
Corrected.
Actually, it is more like shooting back at Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.
Norah O’Donnell, Oprah & CBS News all endorse making it easier to commit vote fraud.
What’s with this Selma movie? Is this movie this year’s politically correct, 12 Years A Slave type movie, a movie made to stoke more racial discord, and lecture us about the sins of the past?
Is this movie going to get all the Oscar buzz due to its politically correct subject matter?
Will all the liberal news types, talk about how this movie shows how little has changed in America, as they talk about racial events happening today????
Voting with ID is not any harder than buying booze, cashing a check at the bank, boarding a plane, or signing up for food stamps.
We collectively didn’t used to listen to such obviously insane morons.
And notice Michael Moore doesn’t make one single solitary movie critical of the US, the government or any movie whatsoever. The last one he directed was the one bashing Capitalism in 2009.
this federal gub mint led by a marxist jive ass punk fag is pathetic.
O’Donnell is the definition of vacuos liberal lightweight.
