Democrat Civil Rights Leader Drops Race Card Bomb on McCain-Palin

Outrageous!

McCain camp calls on Obama to “repudiate” statements.

John Lewis, invoking George Wallace, says McCain and Palin ‘playing with fire’

Civil rights icon and Georgia congressman John Lewis [DEMOCRAT] is accusing John McCain and Sarah Palin of stoking hate, likening the atmosphere at Republican campaign events to those featuring George Wallace, the segregationist former governor of Alabama and presidential candidate.

“What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history,” Lewis said in a statement issued today. “Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse.”

“George Wallace never threw a bomb,” Lewis noted. “He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama.”

“As public figures with the power to influence and persuade, Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all,” Lewis said today.

Interesting that Cong. Lewis would talk about throwing bombs and killing people as that’s exactly what Obama’s political supporter and early patron William Ayers admits his weathermen group were doing.

Lewis’s statement is one of the most inflammatory examples of explosive race baiting that I have read in the decades I have been covering political issues. It’s outrageous and offesive beyond any bounds of political discourse.

The following statement was issued by the McCain campaign:

“Congressman John Lewis’ comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale. The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama’s record and positions could be compared to Governor George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign. I am saddened that John Lewis, a man I’ve always admired, would make such a brazen and baseless attack on my character and the character of the thousands of hardworking Americans who come to our events to cheer for the kind of reform that will put America on the right track.

“I call on Senator Obama to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election. Our country must return to the important debate about the path forward for America.”
–John McCain, October 11, 2008

Remind me again: WHO is it that is stirring up racial hatred here?

You know, I never hated black. But now that I’ve seen Jeremiah Wright and alike in action, I realize that they really hate us. They are really racists. Maybe we should start realizing it and start to protect ourselves from their raging hatred. The first move would be to not elect Obama.

Ummmm….

I’m confused.

George Wallace was, wait for it, A DEMOCRAT

George Wallace was endorsed by the NAACP because his DEMOCRAT opponent in the primary was endorsed by the KKK.

Yet, George Wallace is being compared to McCain/Palin?

Seems to me Congressman Lewis, George Wallace is more like YOU and YOUR PARTY than anyone else.

Heck, he WAS one of you.

Shall I list for you some of the other infamous racists on the DEMOCRAT side?

Congressman, that’s a hornet’s nest you really, really don’t want to stick your arm into.

People in glass houses shouldn’t ….

Wait…not the race card again!

Wasn’t it Obama blaming McCain for scaring people by claiming McCain’s pulling the race card on him? Isn’t it the black population in our country voting for Obama based solely on race?

Uhm…who’s the racist again?

I don’t get it either.

Remember when referring to Democrats and the Democratic party it is just that.
The party is Democratic and individuals are Democrats.
when you refer to the Party as Democrat you are invoking Joseph McCarthy who spouted this remark..
It is like calling San Francisco ” Frisco” or using the N word to African Americans.

Fit Fit, go read your ‘real’ history again. Repubicans freed the slaves and republicans pushed through (over the democrats objections everytime) every civil rights bill and the voting rights act. Democrats did nothing but keep blacks on welfare (aka in slavery). Want to live without working, vote democrat. “The poor have been voting democrat for 50 years and they’re still poor”. Charles Barkley, NBA

You no longer have to wonder why everyone on here laughs at and maked fun of FIT FIT. He lies even about things he has to know the truth about, right in line with Hussein O.

Osama and Obama have a lot in common. They both support and finance terrorists who bombed the pentagon.

Hussein O and S Hussein have more in common. They both tried to kill as many American Soldiers as possible. A Hussein with a gun and Hussein O by backstabbing America while visiting Iraq. An act that should put him in prison, now the white house.

Scrapiron,

I think you and I both know why this touches such a nerve with you. As I said, Democrats were the the party of segregation and were the ones who would block the anti-lynching laws when Republicans tried to enact them. I know the history very well. But political parties do evolve over time. I don’t think the mass of rank and file Republicans are card carrying Klansmen, but the reputation of the party was stained when it decided to use racial anxiety as a wedge. I believe Immigration Reform (favored by McCain and Obama) will lead to a purging of this taint within the Republican Party.

Craig,

I’ve noted Bush’s contributions to Africa several times.

And Obama’s campaign refused to repudiate the remarks of Lewis in total, but said instead:

“But John Lewis was right to condemn some of the hateful rhetoric that John McCain himself personally rebuked just last night, as well as the baseless and profoundly irresponsible charges from his own running mate that the Democratic nominee for President of the United States ‘pals around with terrorists.’ “

Typical. Blame it on whitey. And still Obama refuses to acknowledge the length and depth of his relationship with the terrorist Ayers, who actually DID throw bombs and kill people.

I’m also reminded that a former member of the Ku Klux Klan still sits today as a U.S. Senator and that man is a DEMOCRAT (Byrd of West Virginia).

Obama’s crowd was none to pleasant today when McCain and Palin were brought up, after reading some of the garbage blogs put out by his supporters, I would have to believe that nasty speech toward the McCain camp out on the stump isn’t all that unusual. Obama made a feeble attempt to do as JSM did. Had to change the channel, listening to him makes me ill.

John Lewis should apologize for the remark and Obama should man up, sincerely denounce this racist language and stop playing the poor liittle me act. I think the manchild better stop and think about that Spanish ad he put out, paid for with that currency that doesn’t look like him and knock off with the whining.

EPIC FAIL!

You are no student of history are you?

That’s more likely the induction ceremony for Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), also Grand Kleagle of the KKK.

In fact, Thurmond actively opposed the white supremacy movement which makes your assertion even more ridiculous.

Strom Thurmond started out in politics as a Democrat.

He converted to the Republican party and moderated his views on race.

In fact, he was the first southern Senator to hire a black person as an aide.

So, what was your point again?

You don’t really want to get into a discussion with me about the history of the Democratic Party regarding race do you?

No, let me restate that.

You really don’t want to get into a discussion about the Democratic Party and it’s sordid history in regard to racial issues.

Gerry: That book (excerpt here) may accurately describe the racism of the OLD South. But I live in the NEW South (even though I was born in Columbia, SC when it was still the OLD South).

Much has changed since then and I am sure the same is true from where you are writing in or around Memphis.

In fact, the problem of racism seems in a number of ways to be more acute in Northern areas now dominated by liberal politicans. Chicago, the hometown of Barack Obama would be an excellent example. All those years under Democrat control, the billions folks like Ayers, Obama and Wright have spent supposedly to solve the problems (while living very high on the hog themselves) and the problems of the black middle and lower classes are nearly just as bad according to some as they have always been.

This is what is so offensive about the statement of Cong. John Lewis. All these years he and his friends have been riding the gravy train of political power and enriching themselves at every step along that road while they leave the masses of poor black Americans to their suffering.

If there is “Slavery by Another Name” it may very well be the deliberate using of poor blacks for victims to be exploited by the rich liberal elites who depend on them for their unflinching support and deliver little in terms of actual results.

Gerry,

Don’t worry, I know everything about the slavery History in the States and all over the World. I am very well documented on the subject. Did you know that African people trade their kids for goods?

I will let Pierre Scaruffi explain it to you, since my english writing is not that good:

The Origins of the African slave trade:

“….The civil rights movement of the 1960’s have left many people with the belief that the slave trade was exclusively a European/USA phenomenon and only evil white people were to blame for it. This is a simplistic scenario that hardly reflects the facts.”

“… “For moralists, the most important aspect of that trade should be that Muslims were selling goods to the African kingdoms and the African kingdoms were paying with their own people. In most instances, no violence was necessary to obtain those slaves. Contrary to legends and novels and Hollywood movies, the white traders did not need to savagely kill entire tribes in order to exact their tribute in slaves. All they needed to do is bring goods that appealed to the kings of those tribes. The kings would gladly sell their own kins.”

“…This explains why slavery became “black”. Ancient slavery, e.g. under the Roman empire, would not discriminate: slaves were both white and black (so were Emperors and Popes).”

Really? Fit, you wouldn’t be calling me a racist now, would you?

That’s gotta be the top of the line most offensive statement you’ve ever made here since I’ve been around. You *can’t* be serious.

And may I remind you that it’s your party who has been all about race and gender for the past year? May I remind you it’s your party and their pocketed media who have been suggesting that an Obama loss will be due to closet racism?

May I also remind you it’s Obama who’s all about race and affirmative action? All about minority subprime loans?

It’s your candidate who is proud to be a hypenated American?

But I… as a registered Republican (but Indy in voting)… is a racist with an “unspoken” party plank?

Ah, yes, old Strom Thurmond, sired a child at 22 by a 16 year old black domestic employee in 1925.

He’s famous for the longest filibuster in U.S. govt. history, against…drum roll please…
the 1957 Civil Rights act. He never renounced his segregationist past, ever!

He ran for president as a Dixicrat because those pesky Democrats had some crazy idea about federal involvement in desegregation, rotten bastards!

He then figured out that the Republican party was the true party of racists, mysogynists and pedophiles and joined!

His career is replete with examples of his distain for civil rights. He was a proponent of preserving the southern customs and traditions of segregation and white supremacy.

Not a white supremacist you say? “Pitchfork” Ben Tillman (his polical mentor) was a “symbolic part” of the Thurmond family, including being Godfather to the Thurmond children. One of his most famous quotes is as follows: “and governor as I am, I would lead a mob to lynch the Negro who ravishes a white woman.”

Nah, your probably right, that doesn’t really sound like a white supremacist.

So MataHarley, what was the Southern Strategy in 1960?

According to Kevin Phillips, Richard Nixons political advisor it was as follows.

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don’t need any more than that… but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That’s where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.

That quote is from the New York Times in 1970.

Nope, not racist!

You nailed that one MataHarley!

Kool-aid, I always have a problem with such offensive “blanket” statements of people.

I also have a problem with younger people today, passing judgment on a different era of culture. And it’s not a culture that I think is a proud moment for humanity, mind you. But then, the history of man is filled with those… and most certainly not confined to America.

But you can not take todays more inclusive standards, and apply those to generations of citizens who were raised in a different time. Blacks and whites today have completely different attitudes because we are accustomed to a melting pot. Back then, segregation for not only black, but different nationalities was the way people were raised from childhood. My father was raised in a Ukrainian village, my mother in a Hungarian village. They were not welcome in many places outside. That’s not a defense of that culture. It’s just a fact.

But your statement goes beyond that. It’s rather absurd to include all Republicans in your racist judgment that “the Republican party was the true party of racists, mysogynists and pedophiles and joined!” when the Democrats could boast Robert Byrd as a Democrat in the same era.

Shall I label all the DNC racist for his inclusion?

Yes, all of them.

Facts are always helpful when trying to make a point. You should try to use some!

Well, there you go.

So far all you’ve got is a list of names and not the first fact.

I guess Kool-aid’s one of those who think the world is responsible for proving he’s a bigoted fool… t’would never occur to him he’s done that quite nicely himself.

Kool aid,

Voilà une supposition colorée mais fort improbable. Votre longue liste semble issue d’un malentendu qui repose sur une méprise née d’une confusion.

Je reste hébété devant l’insolence de vos accusations gratuites. L’intellect obscurci par des horions sans prestige, vous restez sourd aux arguments les plus sensés.

Je vais vous exposer l’astuce de la chose dont vous ne pourrez malheureusement pas subodorer toute la valeur.

Voici en quelques traits incisifs: Je crains que vous ne barbotiez à grand bruit dans l’erreur la plus totale. Vous n’êtes qu’un inculte en plus d’être un lamentable pendard. Il serait préférable que vous n’insistassiez plus pour ne pas permettre une aggravation permanente de votre infirmité mentale.

Rocky_B,

Don’t worry about it. French is very complicated. Besides, I have a special writing style; I was a French teacher in high school for a few years. I have no problem reading English. But it is so much more difficult to write it. I get so frustrated here, because I can’t really express what I really want to say. But I guess I’m making some progress.

I’m glad you’ve got the essential of my post. I would like to translate it, but I couldn’t, it would lose all of it sparkling effects… lol

After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll’s head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father’s shoulders. The boy’s parents later told CBS News that they weren’t acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.

That’s a very odd clip; and I can’t tell that the man noticed a camera was on him prior to his taking the sticker off the doll. Perhaps an Obama supporter ;) ? Plant? Whatever he is, he looks to be a douchebag.

So what was your point?

Torrance Stephens’ post is part of the racial divide problem.

So, if America doesn’t elect Obama, it’s because of “the Bradley Effect”? Puh-lease….

Oh yes Fit Fit and no name Obama minions have burned George Bush in effigy but do you see us holding Obama personally responsible?

The difference here is that John Lewis is an ELECTED DEMOCRAT and an Obama supporter who is a key player in Georgia and national politics. It’s appalling that a man of his stature would resort to these kinds of incendiary tactics.

Your efforts to dismiss what Lewis has said and done is tantamount to enabling the very kind of racism you people claim to abhor.

You play the race card then complain when the moneky comes back to bite you on the ass.

Typical.

From townhall.com: On Friday during a town hall-style meeting in Lakeville, Minn., a supporter told McCain that he feared what would happen if Obama were elected. McCain drew boos when he defended his rival as a “decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”

In another exchange, a woman told McCain that she didn’t trust Obama because “he’s an Arab.” Shaking his head and taking the microphone from her, McCain replied: “No, ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign is all about.”

Basically, McCain had abdicated the race as far as I am concerned. Apparently he never read “The Case Against Barack Obama”, et al, and the fact of the matter is Obama is a scary individual.

Palin is the only one of the ticket pushing to show some earnestness in trying to overcome whatever lead Obama has with just a few weeks before the election.

John Lewis is one of the biggest racists in the Congress, trust me,I know, I live in Atlanta. The MSM are pulling all the stops as are black democrats: Question Obama on the legitimate points and its all ‘racist’, ’stroking the fires’, etc, etc.

Hope Obama wins, lets these freaking idiots who want him in so badly bend over and watch themselves get a new one drilled. They don’t have a clue. Rage? You bet I got some, I have no patience for morons.

Then again…maybe McCain knows more that he is letting on and what worries me is maybe he is correct: I don’t have to be scared of Obama being president…yeah…I have a lot more to fear of those controlling Obama…..and McCain. Does it make any difference who is elected?

Rawdawg;
To answer your question. Yes we are ready for a black president, but certainly not “this candidate”. Did you hear racial prejudices being spouted by Republicans when Condolisa Rice was given a cabinet position or Collen Powell? No. Did you hear any from the independants? No. Did the Clinton’s or Carter put any blacks in positions of political power? No.

I’ve heard Republican’s say if the McCain-Palin ticket had been a Powell-Rice ticket, they would have supported them just as readily.

The fingers are sadly being pointed at the wrong party.

As has been pointed out above and as history shows, it has always been the Republicans who supported “Blacks”. The Civil War was started by Republicans against the Democratic South which was financially backed by Southern Democrat plantation owners. Southern Democrats were the ones that were importing slaves. They liked the status quo just as it was, with their Black slaves under their complete power and control and dependent upon them for their every need.

During the Civil Rights movement, Southern Democrats were in control of Congress and LBJ, a Southern Democrat, from Texas was president. LBJ supported the Vietnam War and a draft that sent thousands of our countries young blacks to fight a war they neither supported, nor understood. Nixon, a Republican, got us out of that war.

Most Liberal Democrats are the old Southern Democrats and their ideals under a different name. Their socialism agenda goes back to post Civil War reconstruction. The South was in a deep depression long before 1929. BTW Blacks were not the only slaves in our society. My own heritage is that of ancestors who were of indentured servitude status, which did not end with the Emancipation Proclamation. It wasn’t until 1927 when that was lifted. FDR came in with his New Deal, which created socialist entitlement programs. That re-established the government as “Massah”, lording power and control over the poor who sucked at the government teat and became comfortable and complacent in their poverty while the primarily Democratically controlled government did whatever the hell they wanted. Very few were or even are still willing to take charge and do what they need to do to lift themselves by their own bootstraps to make their own lives and those of their children better. Many of the poor see welfare checks as a right, not a privilage and only vote for those who will funnel more unearned money into their hands. Contrary to modern Democratic rhetoric during this campaign, most Republicans are not ignorant “trailer trash” as they would like everyone to believe. The “trailer trash” welfare sucking cross-sections of our society support them.

Heck, I would have supported a Powell-Rice ticket. What the Democrats don’t understand is that we have given high office positions to black people. Whether it be Senate, House, in the executive branch, or in the Supreme Court. I’m still at a loss as to why these racist sentiments arise during a presidential election - we’re not denying anyone of any race anything.
