Obama, Lewis, and Booker join in the fun.

The modern political equivalent of “blood libel” is the incessant claim — sometimes by people ignorant enough to say it explicitly and sometimes by people too cowardly to say what they mean, instead resorting to cheap innuendo while slaying quivering white straw men — that Republicans are irredeemably racist.

*snip*

On Wednesday during the second day of hearings for the confirmation of Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions to become the next Attorney General of the United States, we saw the latter.

It came in the form of testimony against Sessions by Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), a man who sacrificed much (and never stops reminding us of it) during his years as a civil-rights crusader, and the nauseatingly ambitious Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), whose performance must be seen to be truly appreciated for its overacting and cynicism.

Lewis’s concluding paragraph makes the only thing close to a point that he had:

Lewis is a relic of the past...another argument for term limits.

I don't care what Lewis did in the past to gain hero status which he certainly deserves.

However......He was absolutely wrong in calling President elect Trump illegitimate.

Trump did not say anything bad back....just stated facts.

It's the press that has produced a run away on this. What's new.

Lewis has been treated with kid gloves his entire career in congress.

Isn’t this the same nitwit who said sharks still travel the same routes as the slave ships, looking for a meal?

He has labored under the illusion of immunity from criticism, because of his actions during the 1960’s. This is the same illusion that Juan McAmnesty labors under.

Cory Booker is a simple ignoramus. There is no reason to engage him. He is a senator for one reason only, he is a black democRAT in a leftist state.

Nobody even views these clowns as “Americans” anymore; they have absolutely nothing in common politically with our founding fathers. They are simply unassimilated grifters, “Afro-Gypsies” scamming a living on the fringes of mainstream America.

Lewis is just stoking fires for the National Association of Angry Colored People.

This article is worth the read because it addresses this

And you are spot on Trump talked about Lewis’s lack of helping his district not his race

Obama, Booker and Lewis compare to the Three Stooges as the Three Stooges compare to Einstein, Schrödinger and Fermi.

The slithering scum on the Left are outing themselves as delusional, mentally ill, evil, and treasonous. Now, all the American people and the world know what they are; VERMIN spawned under a rock somewhere.

They will not win.

And if Speaker Ryan was half the man he thinks he is, he would REMOVE LEWIS from ALL Committee Assignments for being Intolerant and Racist.

Between 2000 and 2013, poverty in Atlanta’s suburbs had the highest rate of change of any metro region of its size.

Atlanta's black population lives principally in the region's suburbs, leading to a rise in abandoned properties in historically black neighborhoods in the city's center.

Wasn’t it John Lewis that taught us sharks have the ability to learn and pass that information via procreation?

He taught us sharks learned to trail slave ships to eat the slaves thrown over and to this day sharks still follow ships.
Learned behavior and passed on thru genes. /s

That was Rep Major Owens. Notice in the video that there is laughter when he makes his declaration.

Bingo! You’ve hit on the real source of all this anger. Of course they cheated. Everybody knows they cheat. They don’t even try to hide it!

They’re apoplectic because they didn’t cheat ENOUGH!

It is certainly fair to ask the question; Were these people sincere civil rights advocates or useful idiots for the left? Looking back we see the left always uses the guise of social justice to acquire political power. LBJ certainly recognized the political advantage of creating a welfare plantation.
There is no doubt that MLK would be called an Uncle Tom today because of his desire for equal rights and not special rights.
