John Lewis at Edmund Pettis Bridge...He Got Pushed Down

[rightwinger]

Pushed down with a billy club to the skull?

He's been arrested 45 times. Just another, "don't let a good race crisis go to waste".

He did have a long arrest record. For refusing to leave a whites only lunch counter, for riding on a bus seated next to a white man, for protesting for the right to vote

You just can't keep those criminals down

 

[rightwinger]

Those democrats sure like to beat up black folk.

Every one was a conservative

Sorry bro.....not true, William j fulbright and al gore Sr were far from conservative. Maybe look up some history and not the bullshit southern strategy propaganda.

 

[washamericom]

[Tom Horn]

I remember marching with rep Lewis on the 50th anniversary of the bridge crossing, there were still of a contingent of write racist trash on the side line, got to talk to many great Americans like dick Gregory and other freedom fighters

Lewis got hit in the head with a brick not a baton...probably another darkie who tossed it....boo fucking hoo.

Fulbright is the one who kept the young Willy the Rapist out of the draft.

Civil Rights icon and professional big mouth Congressmen John Lewis likes to tout how his "saw death" coming toward him and that he was "beaten" at the Edmund Pettis bridge. Watch the footage. He got pushed down. Oh my! The horror of it all! Also, contrary to what the narrator said, the nation did not watch in shocked horror. The vast majority were in favor of law and order and the marchers were doing this without a permit in violation of the law. They were asked nicely to disperse. They did not.

yeah. The actions of the Alabama authorities that day provided a sterling example of the free exercise of the 1st amendment and how the rights of all American citizens are protected and upheld in our free society.

Really now, do all you racists have, not only the free time, but the warped view of history to try such ham handed stabs at rewriting it? It must be exhausting being filled with such hatred for not only your fellow Americans, but for America itself. How in God's green earth do you find the stamina while being so incredibly stupid?

They wanted the right to vote. They had every right to march. Do you think your forefathers in racist Alabama were just going to give them voting rights after fighting them on it for generations?

Using your, I guess we'll call it 'logic', you would have sided with the British at Lexington and Concord.

You're so full of shit that you stink:


Confrontations for Justice
John Lewis - March from Selma to Montgomery, "Bloody Sunday," 1965
In 1965, at the height of the modern civil rights movement, activists organized a march for voting rights, from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, the state capital. On March 7, some 600 people assembled at a downtown church, knelt briefly in prayer, and began walking silently, two-by-two through the city streets.

With Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) leading the demonstration, and John Lewis, Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), at his side, the marchers were stopped as they were leaving Selma, at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, by some 150 Alabama state troopers, sheriff ’s deputies, and possemen, who ordered the demonstrators to disperse.

One minute and five seconds after a two-minute warning was announced, the troops advanced, wielding clubs, bullwhips, and tear gas. John Lewis, who suffered a skull fracture, was one of fifty-eight people treated for injuries at the local hospital. The day is remembered in history as “Bloody Sunday.” Less than one week later, Lewis recounted the attack on the marchers during a Federal hearing at which the demonstrators sought protection for a full-scale march to Montgomery.

By the way....I was 31 years old when that happened. The police literally kicked the shit out of them.

What policies, specifically, made Fulbright and Gore Sr. Liberals? Did they champion worker's rights to collective bargaining? Were they working hard for Civil Rights, women's rights, pay equity, environmental concerns? If they were, as you erroneously contend 'Libtards' (a rather immature turn of phrase), what made them so?

[LordBrownTrout]

Lewis has now relegated himself to illegitimacy.

Lewis is a legit American Patriot

It is Trump who is illegitimate.....unless you want a Russian Patriot

Wrong. He lost that when he started bragging about what he had done while castigating other. Trump is as reviled as lincoln was. Of course the left hates trump, they hated lincoln too. There is a lot that must be cleaned up in this country. Lincoln had to make difficult decisions also.

Umm...Lincoln was on the left
The left was abolitionist

Lincoln was a republican. The north voted for him. Surely, you're not that warped.

Yep....and so it begins....the Alt-Right trying to minimize the Civil Rights movement....and denigrating it's heroes. Gee......didn't see this coming, did we?
