What? You think firehoses was the opening salvo of the civil rights movement. Re-read your history, then.

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.

Yes, there were many before Rosa but her defiance called attention to those before her. There have been many before Roy Moore who have been told that they can't wear their Christian apparel and symbols and who have been told that they can't have their bibles in school. Roy Moore is calling attention to them. Like Rosa's civil disobedience, Roy Moore's has indeed sparked an awareness to the injustices perpetrated upon an individual group of people.
