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

[Bush92]

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 did not have a permit to march. They were in violation of the law.

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.

They had no permit and no right to disrupt businesses in downtown Montgomery.

now if a Bull came out of nowhere and threw the buffoon 35 feet, i would of believed he was injured.

 

[Bush92]

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.

Those rednecks with clubs were as conservative as you get

Nope lots of libtard rednecks...look up William j fulbright and al gore sr........report back.

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?

The last 3 on your list of issues are either resolved or Potemkin issues of the left.

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.

By the time we get to 2050 liberal history will say he was stabbed 7 times and blasted with a flamethrower.

i guess he wont be going to the 2021 egg nogg uration

i wish one of those giant birds came down and swooped him up and took him back to the nest

Then we would have to protest birds.

John Lewis at 16 went to the library was told library is for white only. years latter wins the national book award. now that's a real zinger.

Wow...national book award for a 1960's Civil Rights "icon." Probably as legit as Obama's Nobel Peace Prize.

Liberal History.........are you trying to shit somebody? I was a Republican for the first thirty years that I voted. When Reagan came along and cut taxes for the rich folks and borrowed three trillion dollars from foreign banks to cover his spending that was the end of it. I'll bet you folks don't run your family budget the same way you run the government spending.

Had they made it to Montgomery that day. The Alabama authorities were busy disrupting business in downtown Selma on Sunday afternoon.

Pay equity, women's rights and environmental concerns are solved? Hallelujah! Let's tell women that their problems are over! Earning .79 on the dollar is okie dokie. And there are no longer any environmental issues to worry about. The skies are clear, the waters are clean and you could raise a fine crop of carrots anywhere, even that hazardous waste dump over there.

What issues made Fulbright and Gore Sr. 'Libtards'?

where was Joe Biden that day. i would think that for sure he would of joined the crowd.

 

[Snouter]

Lewis was fighting for freedom at home not 15,000 miles away

Yes, it is so surprising veterans of WWI, WWII, the Korean War and those being drafted to Vietnam were not impressed with some fat, douchebags doing sit-ins at Woolworth lunch counters demanding bacon and eggs, then blocking traffic and insisting cops arrest them. That was so much more dangerous and more important to preserving American freedom than being a US soldier in combat on behalf of all Americans including those illiterate fat douchebags demanding food at Woolworth's.

 

[Little-Acorn]

In 1965, Lewis and other activists led hundreds of civil-right marchers across the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Then-governor George Wallace (D-AL), who had announced "Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever" at his inaugural address, ordered Alabama state troopers to the bridge to harass and beat the marchers. They did, firing tear gas at people who had done nothing wrong, while more Democrat-ordered troopers on horseback charged into them, beating them with clubs. Lewis' skull was fractured, and many other people were badly injured.

Previously in 1963, Lewis was one of the "Freedom Riders" who rode buses (in the front seats, and often sitting next to white passengers in defiance of segregation laws still enforced by the Democrat administration) from city to city in Alabama. When the bus reached Birmingham AL, a huge crowd of people in KKK robes were waiting for them... but then-Commissioner of Public Safety Theophilus "Bull" Connor (D-AL) made sure there were no police. The Freedom Riders were savagely beaten, along with reporters who tried to cover the attacks. The Democrat-staffed KKK then dispersed, and Connor sent in the police fifteen minutes later, to find nothing.

So what has Lewis done in response to the Democrats of the state ordering troops to beat him and his compatriots, and other Democrats carefully withholding police protection from them when it was plain that rioting and violence would soon occur?

Lewis is protesting Republicans.

Yes, Lewis is a civil-right hero. But a sadly confused one.

He's the one that lied about being called a ni**er by the Tea Party....I remember that well

They were all Conservatives and conservatives defend the actions of those State Policemen to this day
