John Lewis playing the race card big time. You can’t criticize Obama without being called a racist. The Clintons said the same thing.

Can Lewis point to one instance where there’s a comparison between McCain and Wallace?

Lewis’ remarks are the tip of the iceberg which go to prove this guy true:

Black preacher says an Obama presidency will unleash 400 years of pent-up black anger.

McCain and Palin have done nothing to step over the line. The truth is, middle America is sick and tired of walking on eggshells, and any UN-PC speech is greeted by the masses with a shrug of the shoulders-—it is only the media and victim-mongers that truly get up in arms...

I called and said I found the statement to be hypocritical since he approved of Rev Wright preaching racism (and AIDS conspiracies) in black churches for decades, while we were teaching our children to be colorblind.

We will not let this one go, at some point we must give them hell.

yes but this guy,

-I just called his “press emergency number” and spoke with Darren Johnson (404-895-7850) and referenced the Politico article with quotes-

is the press emergency number and he’s answering the phone...don’t complain if you don’t take action....

George Wallace was a Democrat.

Another Democrat: Orval Faubus. The segregationist governor of Arkansas, who obstructed the integration of Little Rock Central High.

That little incident — was resolved by Republican President Eisenhower, with the National Guard.

They say:
* argue with them
* get in their face

The above comments must be played out in an add and then followed up by the hateful comments from that race baiter Lewis.

Ending with John McCain telling America that this is the his opponents will take the country, but that is where CHANGE will happen first in America with him as President.

Lay this garbage on Barry.

Congressman Lewis opposes interracial marriage. Sarah's husband is a descendant of Eskimos.

Ergo, Congressman Lewis hates Sarah and her husband.

I disapprove of Congressman Lewis' message.

Gee, I kind of get the feeling that 0bamians sow the seeds of hatred and fear every time he opens his mouth about persecuting those who work and contribute to the US. I think I’ll just quit working if he gets elected and LET the government clothe, feed and house me instead of taxing me to death to do it for his parasites.

When obama(may his name be praised) does it, it's empowerment. When McCain does it, it's racial rage.

In 0bambi's all-knowing hindsight view, those in Kenya who advocated voting or merely voted for Mbeki could have been said to have been playing with fire, as strong evidence suggests BHMSO was in close contact with his cousin the uncloseted communist, Raila Odinga, throughout Kenya's electoral process.

Raila's answer (which surely included BHMSO's advice) to losing the presidential election? Riots, 1000+ dead, half a million citizens displaced, promises of Shariah justice, a newly-minted PM position for Odinga and an otherwise previously peaceful country was thrown into life-threatening turmoil for the foreseeable future.

Lewis' saying these things and Serpenthead's saying similar allusory warnings are clearly orchestrated with 0bambi's campaign headquarters. Votes against 0bambi are being intimidated.

Call and tell them Obama talked tough, so does Lewis have to protect him with the fall back “racist” claims...poor baby.

No one plays the race any better than black people that live in Atlanta (other than maybe the southside of chicago).

Yes, that “shark” quote is what comes to my mind whenever I see Lewis.

For the last 20 years, we have been told to fear the angry black man. We tried so hard to raise the black culture to the level of equality. The truth is the no matter how hard we try, the African mind set is to set blame and not responsibility.

So what is Lewis really ranting about? What did McCain specifically say that Lewis takes exception to? What's his problem.

My guess is that his problem is that McCain is starting to shed some light on the real background of Obama and it's getting traction. Lewis wants the black man to win, regardless of who that black man is. Lewis is as much a racist as Wallace, and perhaps moreso. I don't recall Wallace using ACORN to generate fraudulent votes or to buy constituency.
