Mr. Lewis, who is that guy on the left, 100 feet from that guy with the hat?



Since John Lewis apparently knew everyone who was involved.



I'm fine with him picking the Goldwater Girl over the guy who was arrested at the University of Chicago protesting for civil rights, but he didn't have to make himself the self proclaimed gatekeeper of the civil rights movement.

It is a trap. The point is to create discord between Bernie and POC. Let it DIE Vincardog Feb 2016 #4
I like John Lewis but it's not Bernie's fault if John didn't "see" him in a big crowd. senz Feb 2016 #5

Hillary was a high school kid when she was a Goldwater girl. She didn't have a political party then but liked Goldwater because he was different from most politicians in her view.

That's the same motive for much Bernie support too.

Camp Weathervane was wallowing in the depths of depravity today. It was as bad as their racist dog-whistles in '08. Makes me want to puke. And her scorched earth primary is going to cost her dearly if she gets the nomination....she's really pissing people off.
