Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., is no stranger to racial violence.

On March 7, 1965, Lewis—then the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—helped lead a 600-person march for voting rights from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery. As the march moved out of Selma, roughly 150 state troopers, sheriff's deputies, and "possemen" stopped the demonstrators on a bridge. One minute and five seconds after being ordered to disperse, clubs, tear gas, and bullwhips came down on the demonstrators. John Lewis was knocked down, called a "black bitch" and other racial epithets, hit on the ground with a billy club, and then hit again as he tried to get up. His skull was fractured....

Okay, and what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? George Zimmerman is black and Hispanic, you idiots!

Hysteria is being whipped up by black bigots.

We were told that the “Red Scare” was unfounded paranoia of Soviet influence in American media, government, and academia. The KGB files shows that there was influence.

The race hustlers of the 1960s and 1970 want to keep racism alive in the 21st century. They demonize white people (and any black conservative who’d dare challenge their racist socialist rhetoric).

one of those blows to the head musta done some permanent damage to Lewis.

He can only see things in black and whitey

[greatvikingone]

These conclusions diminish what he marched for.

the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee

. . . which renounced non-violence, by the way.

I don't think it's the Zimmerman verdict, but something is clearly justifying killing black teenagers, Congressman. Blacks in great numbers do it every darn day in big cities all over America.

Meant to say “his conclusions diminish...” Don’t want to be misunderstood.

Zimmerman Verdict ‘Seems to Justify the Stalking & Killing of Innocent Black Boys’

I think this guy needs to hit a dictionary and look up the word “innocent”.

“There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life,than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery—and then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

I wonder if Rep. John Lewis has the same view of the stalking of blacks in Chicago by blacks? What’s the murder count so far?

[driftless2]

What makes me think if Trayvon Martin was all-Hispanic Trevino Martinez and George Zimmerman was all-black George Timmerman, John Lewis wouldn’t have care less about the case?

This has become a big “moron test” the morons are self-identifing.

[Nextrush]

50 years ago this summer Martin Luther King was trying to get things ready for the big rally in August at the Lincoln Memorial.

Lewis was scheduled as a speaker but his copy was too militant and had to be censored so that some of the rally supporters like Roman Catholic church leaders would not back out of support for the rally.

He can only see things in black and whitey

Great description of leftist racists.

[celmak]

H*ll, just the fact that Lewis does not want to say or do anything about black teens being murdered by the hundreds on a daily basis seems to justify the killing of innocent black boys.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is that a Hi-Point pistol?

[Old Yeller]

Nothing innocent about a thug on the prowl.

John Lewis is possibly the dumbest man in the House of Representatives, and that is saying a lot. Just listening to him stumble through the words he reads to realize that his cognitive function is in the low range of dull normal. Beyond that condition, Lewis is someone who has done absolutely nothing in life other than walk around in a dark skin and declaim how badly he and those like him are treated while he moves from one comfortable sinecure to another and now has become congressperson for life without ever hitting a lick of work in his whole wretched existence. Everything he has done for decades has been destructive of our country and social order, he is the living embodiment of the malignity of affirmative action personified.

[Still Thinking]

See, how you kill an innocent black boy if you want to is, you get them to walk behind houses and look in windows, then you call 911, then you get them to accost you and you beat on their fists with your face for a while and bleed from the back of your head to make the sidewalk slippery, hoping they’ll slip, then you shoot them. THAT’S how you kill innocent black kids. Oh yeah, you have to go back and edit history and make them wannabe gang-bangers. Almost forgot that part.

[snarkytart]

This hysteria needs to STOP RIGHT NOW! Wooo Hooo Republicans....where are you? Ya’ wanna stand up and say something against the government persecuting this man who has been found Not Guilty! The mob and media’s drumbeat to get Zimmerman just won’t end. These people are mentally ill.
