The Repugnicans have their panties all in knots because civil rights icon and legend Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) called them out about their racist sliming of Sen Obama. "George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who only desired to exercise their constitutional right."
He said McCain and Palin are "playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all."
McPalin responded by, get this, calling Rep Lewis' comments a character attack on him and demanded that Sen Obama repudiate the remarks.
Yeah right. But Johnny boy, when Rick Warren asked you who are the three wisest men you would rely on in an administation at August's Saddleback Forum, you said this:
"I think John Lewis. John Lewis was at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, had his skull fractured, continued to serve, continues to have the most optimistic outlook about America. He can teach us all a lot about the meaning of courage and commitment to causes greater than our self-interest."
So now that he's called you on your racism, he ceases to be a wise man?
Typical Republican BS. Like the political bullies they are, they like throwing shade and innuendo, especially since they have nothing to talk about, but can't take it.
So if the white sheet fits, wear it.
Blah I hate when people use words like Repugnicans, Rethugnicans, or whatever variant. Have not seen same for democrats though I am sure it is out there I just do not read conservative blogs as much. The terms just other people and create the stupid idea that the group is all the same.
ReplyDeleteThe warning sounded pretty fair to me. I would hope that high profile things like this would teach McCain and Palin to stop the mud slinging before it helps turn public opinion away from them.
Amen. It's dangerous and McCain should know that.
