McCain calls on Obama to repudiate “shocking” Lewis comments

CNN) — John McCain – who has often praised civil rights icon John Lewis – called a statement by the Georgia congressman Saturday comparing the outbursts at recent Republican rallies to the rhetoric of segregationist George Wallace “a brazen and baseless attack” that is “shocking and beyond the pale.”

Lewis issued his statement after several days of headline-grabbing anger directed at Democratic nominee Barack Obama by some attendees at McCain campaign rallies.

“Shocking, no.”

I’d say it’s typical. People like Lewis see racist ghosts in every closet.

Yes, and he will bring ACORN on board to shape his agenda, before his innauguration:

They want someone who is NOT hysterically attacking Obama, but who keeps pointing out the doubt.

BINGO.

[... It is obvious to anyone paying attention that the
politically correct victim mentality dynamic is nothing
but a mechanism for controlling speech and influencing
political power.

The word ‘racist’, given its awful meaning by hundreds
of years of slavery, murder, and genocide, has been
reduced to nothing but a shibboleth intended to stifle
speech and obscure the truth.

My empathy for poor downtrodden supposed victims is gone.

My tolerance for participating in a charade based on
pretense has passed.

There is no recovery from the damage this election has
wrought. No way that I will ever again give concern or
consideration to those who would manipulate and control
based on meaningless words and empty sympathies...]

That, sir, ranks with some of the best I’ve read on Free
Republic. May I nominate you for “FRinkling” membership?

All it would have taken is an Obama plant or some yay-hoo shouting something offensive for the drive-bys to grab it and run with it.

As so often happens, you've hit the nail on the head.

Just a foretaste of an Obama presidency. Four years of race baiting and playing the race card against anyone who dares to oppose The Chosen One.

What I’d like to know is what was Lewis doing at a McCain rally?

He was probably with his agitator friends like Code Pink, Acorn, and other race baiting left wing groups. Heck, for all we know, he was the one actually screaming the racist remarks.

If Oboma loses, the democrats are SO wanting a race war to "punish" John McCain and the Republicans for winning.

Thanks for agreeing with me. For any future quoting of my comment, I'm fixing my typos.

Comments like Rep. Lewis's are previews of what is to come if the Liberal Messiah is given title to the United States (you think He is only running to be President?) This will be His country and he will mold it in His image. All those who express "hateful" (i.e., dissenting) views will be "re-educated".

One is Al-Mansour (can’t remember his first name). I think there are a few more Islamo-Fascists, as well as more members of the Weather Underground, and more members of the Socialist Party he belonged to.

I would add a couple things to a few of them, personally.

For instance, for Ayers, I would also list “Un-rehabilitated, Anti-Capitalist, and Communist ‘Revolutionary’”

One more thing we can add to that list for Chavez is the fact that he owns a U.S. Voting Machine Company that is supplying machines for OUR ELECTION on Nov. 4th.


In my post I shoud’ve been clearer. We are not the ones screaming “Terrorist”. It is Obama’s supporters that like doing that is all - especially on purpose to create the illusion of strife and contention.

Excellent observation as we can see by what the world wants Obama is running to be THE ONE world leader not just the President of the U.S.

Hey McCain want some advise tell that to the American people and then Recommend Obama relieve the head of the UN.

The U.N is about as respected in America as the MSM is.
