What? You think firehoses was the opening salvo of the civil rights movement. Re-read your history, then. They didn't get to the firehose stage until many years into public protesting & a few years of mass-transit boycotts.
The "back-of-the-bus" analogy talks about this being an "enough is enough" moment...don't go trepsing off into the heart of where this could lead when Christians have not yet shown they are provoked enough...(other than these few leaders)
It was merely a picture used to illustrate the ridiculousness of comparing the Judge Moore sideshow to the civil rights struggles of the 50s & 60s. Should I have used a lynching photo instead?
Maybe you should suggest to Dobson that *he* study the civil rights movement. After all, there were many before Rosa Parks who refused to give up their seats.
