BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Grab sound bite 27. I've got a little bit more coming on the sit-in, but it just ended, and what happened was that Nancy Pelosi surrounded by John Lewis and not -- (interruption) Yeah, yeah, James Clyburn, a Congressional Black Caucasian guy is following her down the steps -- Rangel -- followed her down the steps and proclaiming victory and so forth, singing, "We shall overcome." And you're saying, "We shall overcome? What the hell does it have to do with gun control? What do you mean, we shall overcome?"

It just proves my point. This stuff never ends, folks. There's never an end to any of these liberal complaints. Liberalism is a series of grievances in addition to everything else that it is. And everybody lives under the idea that, okay, if we address the grievance will you shut up and go away? Oh, yeah, we just want -- but it never does. It never happens. Every liberal supposed solution is simply the beginning of a new problem by design.

So here we have the end of the sit-in, they've walked down the steps singing "We Shall Overcome," and John Lewis heads to the mic, about 150 media people. For all intents and purposes they're applauding this valiant effort of these brave Democrats avoiding the dogs and the hoses and so forth of Bull Connor on the floor of the House doing everything they can to deprive the American people of their Second Amendment constitutional rights. They're being applauded for it. Here is John Lewis at the microphone.

LEWIS: It's not a struggle that lasts for one day or one week or one month or one year. It is a struggle. But we're gonna win the struggle. (applause) We must never, ever give up or give in. We must keep the faith. And we must come back here on July the 5th more determined than ever before.

USH: Right on. They're come back July 5th 'cause Ryan shut the place down. He shut it down and sent 'em home since they wouldn't stop the sit-in. It was the only way he could gain order so they're coming back July 5th. The struggle. The struggle. I think whatever Michelle Obama does a public appearance, the word "struggle" is part of, every one of them, the struggle. They're all in a struggle. What's the struggle? It's s-h-t-r-u-g-g-l-e, by the way.

And the struggle is never ending, they're ongoing, and the struggle, what is it? Why, it's discrimination. It is intimidation. It's bullying. It's the denial of rights. It's the denial of humanity. It's the ongoing struggle against the inherent unfairness of the United States of America. (interruption) They won that 50 years ago, the Civil Rights Act, I know they overcome. But that's the point. No, no, no. It's never over. He said so.

This is my point. Play the beginning of this again. It's never over. The struggle. Next day, next week, next month, next year, it's never over. Play it again.

LEWIS: It's not a struggle that lasts for one day or one week or one month or one year. It is a struggle. But we're gonna win the struggle. (applause) We must never, ever give up or give in. We must keep the faith. And we must come back here on July the 5th more determined than ever before.

RUSH: Right on, right on. We gonna win the struggle. We gonna win the struggle. There you have it.

Oh yeah this “legend” of the civil rights era totally lost any credibility for me in March 2010 - when he and the other democrat LIARS - completely fabricated a story about being harassed and spat on by tea party activists during a protest on Capitol Hill.

Remember Nancy Pelosi and her “over-sized gavel” - and human props like this phony John Lewis - tried to goad the tea party protestors - but the protestors didn’t take the bait. But not before Lewis and the others had already sent out completely fake news releases LYING that the protestors spat on them and used the “n-word”. Ooops!

Thanks to Andrew Breitbart - who offered a reward to anyone who could produce video or audio proof that any of these things happened. Of course no one could produce any evidence - because it was a complete SMEAR and LIE.

Elected officials LYING about accusations of racism about people who PAY THEIR SALARIES. DISGUSTING. Sorry Nancy and John - we are not idiots and we remember this incident. This is why you lost the Senate and House after this. We know you are LIARS.

Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of sourpusses?

Fred Sanford had more common sense and leadership ability than a whole Circus Train full of modern day democrats.

If he’s a civil rights icon then shouldn’t he know that previous gun control laws in this country were used to prevent blacks and minorities from owning guns? Why is he trying to send blacks back to the Jim Crow days? Does he not know that after the firebombing in 1956 of Dr. Martin Luther King’s house, he applied for a gun permit. King who was, among other things, a Christian minister, was found unsuitable by the Alabama authorities. Hmmmmmmmm.....now what does that sound like? Oh yeah, it sounds like he was put on a ‘no fly’ list.

Racist or not, Mr. Lewis looks like an ape.
