This is John Lewis. Because of something he did a very long time ago, he’s better than you. He is above common courtesy and civility. He can insult you. He could poison puppies. He could even kill you. And you are not allowed to dare question any of it. Well, over the weekend he picked a fight with Donald Trump. Trump had the temerity to respond and now Lewis wallows in victimhood.
Lewis did something admirable fifty years ago and has been living off of it ever since. Lewis uses it as a shield when he picks fights. He uses it as a shield when he hurls insults. He retreats to it after he throws stones.
Thing is, this was about one thing- money.
John Lewis cast the first stone when he called Trump’s Presidency illegitimate.
Democratic Rep. John Lewis (Ga.) said in an interview that he does not consider President-elect Donald Trump to be a legitimate president.
In a preview clip of an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd set to air Sunday on “Meet the Press,” Lewis said his view on Trump’s presidency is attributed to Russian meddling in the presidential election, which he called a “conspiracy.”
When Todd asked Lewis if he planned to try work with Trump to pass legislation, Lewis said he believes in forgiveness but that Trump is not legitimate.
“It’s going to be very difficult,” Lewis said. “I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president.”
Todd asked Lewis to explain his position.
“I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they have destroyed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” Lewis said.
He offered not a “smidgen” of evidence for this assertion, of course, but let’s be clear. He started it. Trump being Trump, he fired back:
Trump’s responding set off a flurry of harrumphs and what I want to point out is the manner in which they are characterized:
Donald Trump just attacked civil rights hero John Lewis on Twitter
And there’s lots more
Trump blasts civil rights icon John Lewis in Twitter attack
Trump Attacks Rep. Lewis, Who Said He Wasn’t ‘Legitimate President’
Disappointingly, Michael Steele jumped on Trump:
“John Lewis has a walk that very few people in this country – least of all Donald Trump – have ever walked. So you have to respect that and pay attention to that in a real sense,” he added.
True, but few remember that Donald Trump was the recipient of the Ellis Island Award and he was in some pretty good company:
Lewis’s history doesn’t give him the right to unfairly assault a President-elect. Trump broke no laws. He did not cheat. And Trump did not start this fight. He was attacked by Lewis. Fighting back seems to be out of order for Republicans. But let’s get to the motivations of the attack.
- Delegitimize Trump and 2. Money.
Seemingly within seconds, democrats were fund raising off the incident, complete with the race card:
Democrats are fundraising off of comments made by President-elect Donald Trump attacking Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).
In an email sent Saturday night with the subject line “what Donald Trump said,” the Georgia Democrat wrote that the president-elect attacked him on Twitter and said he was “all talk” and “no action.”
“I’ve been beaten bloody, tear-gassed, fighting for what’s right for America. I’ve marched at Selma with Dr. King. Sometimes that’s what it takes to move our country in the right direction,” Lewis said in the email.
“We refuse to stop now. We’re not done fighting for progress. We’re ready for the next four years.”
Lewis then asked people to chip in to help the Democrats “stand up to injustice.”
When John Lewis was beaten marching for civil rights, he was beaten by democrats. There’s this little nugget
He went on to say the majority of Americans thinks the country is headed in the wrong direction. He said he remembers when segregation was “the law of the land that ordered our society in the Deep South.”
Yes, Americans do think the country is going in the wrong direction- under obama, that is. Lewis continues to profit from his assault on Trump:
Hours after President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter to blast civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, labeling the Democrat’s Atlanta district as a “crime infested” area that is in “horrible shape,” Lewis’ 1999 memoir sold out on Amazon.
As of Saturday evening, the retailer was temporarily out of stock of Lewis’ 1999 biography, “Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement.”
Again, the fact that Lewis cast the first stone is completely ignored. It is no coincidence that Lewis chose Martin Luther King weekend to pick a fight with Donald Trump. The purpose is now clear. I have the greatest respect for what Lewis did 50 years ago, but these actions today are nothing but purely cynical politics and he is not immune to criticism.
Politics ain’t beanbag.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
His fame comes from being arrested at least 45 times for protesting but no evidence any of his time as a politician improved conditions for his race. A great Statesman he is not.

As a side note a real hero has passed away http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/34270346/last-man-to-w…
Why dose this bald as a buzzard mumbling nincompoop do us all a real favor and go home crawl back under the rock where he came from and stop trying to start trouble which he seems always capible of
Just a reminder, Donald “Grab em by the Vagina” Trump, a man with a long history of housing discrimination against black Americans, somewhat built his political movement on the concept that Obama was an iligitamate President, something many of the resident bigots here still imply, refuse to admit isn’t true, or outright concur.
You guys aren’t much on karma are you? You can dish it out but can’t take it.
@Ajay42302: Prove the history of discrimination against black Americans.! Like usual, you are all mouth and no proof.
As we see above, liberals love to lie. They lie repeatedly, even when the lie has been exposed. They lie because they fail, and failing isn’t a good reputation.
What I find interesting is that stupid, lying liberals START these fights, then claim the response is “childish”. Actually, starting the fight in the first place, using lies and misinformation, is the childish part. Trump absolutely responded properly. Could he have gone without responding? Sure. But, why not? To make it easy on the liars?
@Ajay42302: Spoken like a true libturd loser. Reality is Donald Trump IS President period!! You have NO proof of your accusations so your a moronic libturd liar!! Back to mommy’s basement for you loser!!
@Common Sense:
“Reality is Donald Trump IS President period!! ”
Well, uh, no my incredibly ignorant friend. Trump is not President. Obama is President and will be for another few days.
Do you clowns practice stupidity?
I have never said or claimed Donald “Grab em by the Vagina” Trump (which by the way, seems to be coming a contagious thing for GOP lawmakers) was not ligitamately elected. After his swearing in, I understand and agree that he will be the President.
But understand (yes I realize that is a tall order), I never questioned Obama’s ligitamacy where as your newly elected con man has repeatedly.
Even you and your fellow hacks can’t seem to bring yourselves to admit that fact.
The hypocrisy runs deep here.
@Ajay42302: You are a special kind of moronic libturd loser aren’t you. Yep Obola will be gone and Donald Trump will be our next President. He smashed hilldabeast in the election. Obolacare was and is the gift that has given Republicans the House, Senate, and now the White House as well as thousands of other govenorships and other government seats. Obola’s agenda has been rejected by America so deal with it!! Your accusations against Trump have NO foundation!! As far as birther accusations what you fail to remember is that it was hilldabeast who made the same accusations when she ran agains Obola and lost. Back to mommy’s basement fool!!
The only time Lewis seems to make the news is when he calls someone a racist.
Some hero.
Trump said he touched a woman’s privates with her permission.
That’s all you guys’ve got.
Liberals claims that Trump’s “Birtherism” was racist because it undermined the legitimacy of the black president.
I guess it follows then, if a black man seeks to undermine the legitimacy of a white president that this, too, must be racism !
Go pound sand John Lewis you mindless old fool
If the left’s lips are moving, they are apparently lying or deluded. The same applies to their supporters, enablers, Fake Newsers, and advocates.
Don’t buy their CDs or the products they hawk on TV, don’t go to their inane movies, don’t visit their stupid sites, don’t listen to them on the radio.
Don’t watch them on their Fake News TV, don’t buy tickets to see them do ANYthing, and especially don’t watch or attend their dumb, leftist-activist “shows.”
Are they the oily, lying, “Shmuck Shroomer,” political type?
Or the lying, insane, “You can Keep Your Doctor,” I-rule-the-world, type?
Or the “Pajama Boy,” t-Shirted, Marxist-indoctrinated, over “educated,” multi-multi-billionaire type?
Or the blathering, “Holy,” Islamist, devoutly corrupt, Marxist, “priestly” type, from some other world?
Or the radical, leftist, multi-millionaire, arrogant, self-agrandizing “media” liar type?
If so, they would be your leftist, Islamist, One-World, slave-master wannabes. Your Rulers in waiting. And they are coming after you and your family, just as they are coming after Donald Trump and his family.
And…you have only to see the bloated, sneering, debauched-looking face of their newest poster shill, “John Dufis,” the failed, once-relevant, “civil rights leader,” to see how they roll in their own, filthy, stinking lies about Donald Trump and you.
Their despicable “heroes,” like Dufis, and, Her The Stumbling Falling Zombie Witch of New York—they demonstrate they stop at Nothing to grasp at their rotting, stinking, filthy goals for YOU.
Don’t believe any lying word they say. Ignore their lies. Defund them; block their plots.
“Find them; fix them in place; isolate them; and ridicule them.” (To paraphrase their leader, Saul Alinksky)
Think: would you maybe wipe them out financially, or have them praising Trump, in about 6 weeks?
.
Will you pass these ideas onward and forward to your mailing lists and resources? It’s your Move, isn’t it?
.
.
He’s a liar.
Remember the walk between the Congressional offices and the Capitol Building for ObamaCare?
Pelosi had her giant comedy prop gavel?
Dozens of folks were recording the event on phones and videos.
John Lewis had the gall to claim someone yelled “nigger!” at him (several times).
the late Andrew Breitbart offered a hefty award if anyone came forward with audio proof.
No one ever did.
John Lewis is a liar.
And, yes.
He was beat up by DEMOCRATS.
As someone who also marched in SF back then I can tell you all the opponents of integration we faced were DEMOCRATS.
@Common Sense:
First, nice tuck tail and run from your asinine statement that Trump is president before he’s even inaugurated.
ACA had little to do with the election outcome (it had much more to do with Hillary snubbing the working class and Trump conning them) and is now an anchor around the GOP’s neck.
Next, Republicans already held the House and Senate and then lost seats in both chambers in the last election. Hillary winning nearly 3 million votes over the vagina grabber, hardly a “smashing” victory.
And while Trump’s victory is tainted with FBI and Russian influence, you and your ilk still can’t bring yourselves to acknowledge Barack Obama as a legitimately elected President.
“Thousands of other govenorships (sic)”???????? Actually, that profoundly ignorant statement may have more credibility than your exonerating Trump and blaming Hillary over the birther issue.
There seems to be a pattern here that when a resident troll (you, Bill, Redass, Nanny, Randy and pretty much the entire crew) says something utterly false and stupid and get called out on it, you follow up with something even more untrue and even stupider (yes, that actually is a word).
@Ajay42302: Hillary started the birther issue, you ignorant, lying moron. Why does truth just bead up and roll off you like water droplets on a RainX treated windshield?
Yes, the huge mess the Democrats made of healthcare is a weight hung around the necks of Republicans to fix. Again.
The way you immature, whiny, spoiled, cry-baby liberals blame Trump for EVERYTHING, you’d think HE’S been President for the past 8 years.
@Ajay42302:
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Russian influence over the election? They tried but did not succeed. FBI influence over the election? Like Comey’s July exoneration?
Thousands of governorships? Can you read a compound sentence?
And as to being a troll: the term is used to describe a person posting on a website while disagreeing with the premise of that site. The “crew” of a website cannot be trolls.
Sigh. I wish you had some fuel for your fire.
@mathman:
New troll, same distracting tactics. New name but nothing else appears different.
What made you think I was referring to Comey’s July actions and why did you just casually omit his highly controversial October surprise? Could it be because you are intentionally trying to dodge relative facts, you know, important issues that somewhat validates reality? Why else, other than you’re really spectacularly ignorant, would you do that?
How do you know or by what statistics do you firmly state that Russia had no influence. How do you know that? You don’t.
While the term “troll” has somewhat evolved, originally an online blogging troll was one that would disrupt a conversation or argument with distracting or insulting tactics, derailing constructive arguments of the opponent (or failed arguments from their side) with nonsensical gibberish. (again, who said anything about Comey’s July statements? Only you. Why?) And yes, there can be more than 1 troll.
To be clear, we have 50 Governors, not thousands. It’s one thing for someone to make such an ignorant statement but quite another for some troll to try to defend it.
And by the way, Obama was a legitimately elected President and has been hos entire 2 terms. Why is it that you and your merry men continue to bash anyone that questions your Putin coddling con man while refusing to acknowledge Obama’s legitimacy?
Perhaps maybe, just maybe, you are frauds?
Lewis a political hack, mumbled he had not missed an innaga-nation since being in da congres, except his boycotted the 2001 innag-natio of who he also called an illegitimate president, George W. Bush.
@Ajay42302: Hey moron libturd tell me governorships where NOT lost to demoncraps under Obola!! There where over a thousand demoncraps in various elected parts of state and local governments replaced by Republicans during Obola’s reign. FACT moron. How quickly you tuck your head in your ass when it comes to proof of your Trump accusation and vagina grabbing !! Let me ask you this, Slick got a hummer in the White House during work hours, lied to an investigation, admitted it, and was impeached did you know about this or where you in mommy’s basement at the time?? At the same time hilldabeast said it was a vast right wing conspiracy!! Yes Obola is still President and doing exactly what was expected, nothing but wasting taxpayers dollars as usual. Trump will be our next President period and you know it!! Your a worthless little weasel and I’m not surprised!!
@Common Sense:
You generally have a grasp of the English language. Your writing skills somewhat plummeted there. Did you forget the character you were portraying?? Maybe forgot and thought you were Kitt or something?
Okay, you acknowledge that Trump is not yet president, unlike your previous statement in #6 that ” Reality is Donald Trump IS President period!!”. You said something utterly stupid, was corrected, admitted your ignorance, so we’ll move on.
Bill’s bj has precisely to do with, uh, what? Kinda went off in Toto land there didn’t you? Oh, something about my “mommy’s basement” or such? Nice argumentative skills there Aesop!
You yourself kinda left out the reality that many state seats were a product of gerrymandering, that Dems actually got more votes but the way districts were reworked handed more wins to Rs. You also ran from the fact that Dems gained seats in both chambers and 3 million more votes for the WH. Kinda forgot that in your bj rant of 20 some years ago.
Also, in your insistence of glorifying your sexually assaulting and racist con man who pays more respect to a Russian dictator than he does Americans, you fail to acknowledge or admit that President Obama won 2 elections fair and square and has been our legitimate President for 8 years.
And we only have 50 governors, dumbass!
@Common Sense: Afternoon, looks like we get under Ajays skin, My only comment on this thread he could’nt dispute. Calls conservative leaning posters on a generally conservative blog “troll”, he needs to look that one up.
He has very little understanding we need his type here for comic relief only. He adds very little other than that, no facts, nothing that would make any of us say hmmm thats a good point. Seeing him mention me while in a rant attacking you makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
@kitt:
Slow down, used English, try to make a coherent statement and maybe, just maybe I’ll be able to dispute or concur.
Is the name “Common Sense” an oxymoron or satire or something because I’d wager he/she would have difficulties pouring piss out of a boot if the directions were on the bottom.
For reference from a liberal rag an article over a year old as the toll sits now at 1030 democrat seats lost under the great leader
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/13/us/politics/obama-legacy-in-state-offices-a-shrinking-democratic-share.
Seems state level politics is important to voters too.
Those that are aware of political trends dont need me to decipher my posts.
Reading comprehension not a strong suit for some comic relief posters.
@Ajay42302: Nice try moron, fact is the Demoncraps have LOST 70 national seats and over 900 state legislative and governorships during the Obola failure!! BTW, I know how many governors there are, I know that when Obola took office the demoncraps controlled both branches of the legislature, and I know that now the White House, House, and Senate will be controlled by Republicans. You have lost them all libturd!!
@Common Sense: Hang in there baby FRIDAYS COMING!
(I SO ENJOY YOUR POSTS)
@kitt: Kitt, thanks for your feedback. I know that I am not the most articulate messenger posting on this site but when I see morons like Greggie and Ajay spew their lies I just can’t help formulating a response. What I find ironic is how they can support Slick and Hilldabeast as if they are taking the moral high ground with them!! Ditto with respect to your comments. I can’t wait until Obola is out and Trump is in. Actually Trump has shown more to me after he was elected. The team his is putting together is amazing!! Regards
@Ajay42302: But I wouldn’t have any problem pissing on your sorry ass!!
@Common Sense:
@Common Sense:
Even if we were to simply believe you, that your word had an iota of credence, that still falls short of “the thousands” you claimed earlier.
So, is that an admission of another inaccurate number you previously gave or do you still maintain there are thousands of them?
It’s becoming increasing difficult to deduce what you know or don’t know from one of your atrocious comments to the other. Make a statement or point (in English please) and try to stick to it.
I really have no interest in your sick and perverted watersports fantasies and in the future, please leave me out of them or at least, keep your discussing forms of self gratification to yourself.
@Ajay42302: Gosh, you sure are bitter about your loser soon-to-be ex-President, your loser candidate, your loser party and your loser ideology. Waaaa much?
@Ajay42302: I could give a good crap what you believe, facts are something libturds like you have difficulty dealing with. Fact is Donald Trump will be our next President, FACT is Obola was a failure, FACT is when he was elected Demoncraps controlled all branches of the Federal Government other than the Supreme Court of course. FACT is they will control NOTHING after Donald Trump is sworn in as President. FACT is I am gratified enough to read your pathetic attempts to communicate like a normal human. Then again, I seriously doubt you have a clue of what reality is!! As I have said before, back to mommy’s basement you pathetic moron!!
@Bill- Deplorable Me: Well said Bill-Deplorable. Ajay is just a libturd loser having issues dealing with reality!!
@Common Sense: He has an awful time searching to see if facts like, Obama decimated his own party, google is such a difficult concept.
Never worry about being articulate your posts get the point across thats what counts.<—–Period
@Common Sense:
Assuming you mean to use the saying “I couldn’t care less what you believe” (again, your inability to articulate in a coherent manner what you believe does cause problems), you seem to go through a great deal of trouble to express your lack of concern. Kinda adds to the list of making you look like a stupid liar. Not that I’m calling you a stupid liar. There’s no need as you continue to remove any doubt.
In the mean time, on a thread bashing a long time rights advocate for questioning the legitimacy of your racist sexist vagina groping con man, you and your ilk still fall short in admitting the legitimacy of Obama.
You cowards actually run from what you believe, afraid to admit to your very own arguments.
@Ajay42302: Obola was a legitimate failure as President, I freely admit that and that’s no lie moron!! As far as your inability to understand my point I could give a crap, doesn’t make you anything other than the libturd loser you are!! I love your accusations towards President Elect Donald Trump, it’s expected. You likely also believed Slick when he said he never had sex and believed hilldabeast when she blamed a vast right wing conspiracy rather than the truth he had to ultimately admit to. Back to mommy’s basement for you moron!!
@Common Sense:
What I believe of “slick willie” and his cigar schenannigans has nothing to do with anything, even less than your amusing claim of a lack of concern what I think.
Your cowardly and half assed assessment of Obama’s tenure as “a legitimate failure” rather than having the balls to say if he was or wasn’t a legitimate President pretty much validates my entire argument. You can’t say can you?
@Common Sense: You promised AJ a crap and he wants it. He’s hungry.
@Bill… Deplorable Me: Yep, mommy won’t have to change his diapers before he goes back to the basement sense he crapped out his mouth already!!
@Ajay42302: Well I guess mommy won’t have to change your diapers now that you have crapped out your mouth. Back to the basement for you moron!! Donald Trump and the Republicans will put America back together after this black racist failure completes his disgusting pardons and presidency!!
@Common Sense:
“Well I guess mommy won’t have to change your diapers now that you have crapped…”
Once again, please retrain from expressing you sick sexual fantasies or whatever fascination you have with me below the belt. You are indeed one perverted son of a bitch.
Basements and diapers have nothing to do with your failed arguments and inaccurate gibberish. Basements and diapers and Bill’s bj does nothing to create thousands of governors out by fifty or make hundreds of state seats into thousands nor do they discredit the arguments of gerrymandering or other realities.
Basements and diapers does nothing to change the fact that Obama leaves office as one of the most popular in history and that Trump enters as the most unpopular.
It does nothing to give credibility to your inaccurate and asinine ramblings but rather makes you appear even more stupid as well as dishonest.
As I said earlier, you are a fraud.
@Ajay42302: Yeah, everyone knows there are 57 governors, based on the accounting of your wonderful, popular idol. Madonna is popular, too, and has about as much leadership capability as your failure, Obama.
Chase that celebrity. You’ll get a failure like Obama every time.
It could be 1000s of democrat seats no one tallied local elections just state and fed. Its great how inferring someone requires diapers gets turned into some sexual thing, good training, dems turned greeting kisses into rape, it was amazing to see. Now the Attorney is back, defamation thats going to be a trick to prove, is this the p*rn queen now her career is getting shorter and shorter I dont know if those type flicks with old women are popular at all Granny does Dallas. Does she have profession where credibility a hallmark of her profession? I’ll leave that as I know very little of that career or “film” industry.
Looks like Lewis has started a fad, now ovr 50 dems are not going to the inauguartion, the average IQ of the attendees has skyrocketed!
@Ajay42302: Toys R Us just got in a new shipment of coloring books. One of them is titled, The Losers. You might want to look it up.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: 59 states, Bill, Obozo had been to 57 and still had two more to go.
@RedTeam: I stand corrected. I have problems keeping up with how stupid liberals can be.
@Ajay42302:
you do know that they only sampled dimocrats in those polls, and even with that they can barely get Obozo above 50%.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: @kitt: @RedTeam:
Band of sock puppets instantly come to defend while so-called Common Sence ducks for cover. Nothing new or unexpected here.
Do you even try to fool anyone other than yourself?
@Ajay42302: … says the cowardly, question-fearing liar. Let me give you a list of those who consider your opinion.
1.
@Bill… Deplorable Me:
“Let me give you a list of those who consider your opinion.”
You are indeed the slow one aren’t you?
For 1, how is it that you can speak for everyone’s opinion?
Next, rescan this entire thread my slow witted friend and tell me again about who’s opinion is what.
Trump is not yet President. That isn’t an opinion.
The GOP did not win thousands of governorship. That isn’t an opinion.
The GOP did not pick up thousands of state seats during the Obama years. That isn’t an opinion.
Obama leaves office with a high aproval rate and Trump enters at a record low. That isn’t an opinion.
Not a single one of you asswipes will acknowledge that Obama was a legitimately elected president. That isn’t an opinion.
Common Sense’s toilet fantasies have nothing to do with any of the above nor is it a constructive rebuttal to them. That isn’t an opinion.
What in the hell are you talking about you incredibly stupid troll? (part of that last statement may be construed as an opinion albeit a hypothesis better describes it and I seriously chuckle at the thought of you thinking I give a flying rat’s ass what the likes of a resident troll like you and/or yours thinks of it)
@Ajay42302:
I don’t know about asswipes, apparently that is one of your specialties, but I don’t know of anyone that really thinks he is/was legitimate. We know for sure his father was not an American, so that’s certainly knocks him out of ‘natural born citizen’.
