      Cut the BS Breitbart, you don't consider Lewis to be a civil rights icon to begin with. The smart people among us who do are not going to have their minds changed by this incident or John Lewis' version of it, no matter how much you jump and down and insist it didn't happen.

        B.S.? It's not John Lewis, Michael Steele is the one True Bro.

        Michael Steele may actually be a Pimp & Hannah Giles just might be his Hoe.
        Oh it's True, it's Damn True, Steele protects his Women against any & every Foe.
        Mr. Steele was at The Voyeur West Hollywood Strip Club looking for a new Recruit.
        Can you really blame Michael exposed to the Visual of all that Luscious Hanging Fruit?

        Speak truth to power.


        Mr. News

      What's Mad Dog Breibart on about now? Proof? He can't even prove his claims that ACORN assisted Lame James O'Keefe in financing a fake brothel!

      Luckily he has no status to squander, except his status as a foamer-at-the-mouth. And he's remained true to that.

      Andrew Beitbart has got to be one of the angriest and cold hearted men on the fox teevee. Just who does he think he is to speak of Mr. Lewis this way?! His arrogance knows no bounds. He will say and do anything to create controversary and/or drama. Just how deep does his racism go?

      So, Breitbart assures us that if the N-word was used we would have seen some head turning. Considering that the racism so frequently demonstrated by that particular group, the use of the N-word would more likely have resulted in some head NODDING!

      You'll never believe this: I was on YouTube today and I accidentally found some videos from Fox Business... and they were actually talking about, you know, business! I was shocked.

      Andy can say this because he was right beside Rep. Lewis sitting at lunch counters in southern states and getting beaten to a bloody pulp on the Edmund Pettis bridge. Andy actually shielded Rep. Lewis with his own body from the water hoses, spit, and dogs that were sicced on him, and he covered Rep. Lewis' ears with his own hands when Rep. Lewis was being called a ni99er, coon, and other derogatory names so that he couldn't hear them.

      Yeah, right. This is an attempt to minimize how some Americans treated, and still treat, their fellow citizens. With these words Andy attempts to discredit Rep. Lewis, but he actually ends up discrediting himself.

      Hell has frozen over!

      Or, not. That would be the day a man like Breitbart could call out the truth on the Honorable Representative John Lewis. This man has been through the gauntlett, and has remained the beacon of Honor to American Public Service.

      John Lewis, the Civil Rights leader put his life on the line for the basic freedoms for all Americans.

      Mr. Breitbart is little more than a scoundrel, and cares not if he is caught in a lie himself, he just sticks to his story no matter how ridiculous. He has absolutely no credibility!
