(11,949 posts)On National TV at our last convention. The John Lewis who was almost killed marching over the Edmond Pettit Bridge. He was beat in the skull by a racist cop. And was on the stage during MLKs famous I Have A Dream Speech as the radical leader of the youth movement. Maybe the greatest living American. Actually no. The Greatest Living American.
And what did Bernie do? Did he rush the stage and admonish his supporters for heckling such a great man? Hell. No. He sat there grinning like the cat that ate the canary. We fucking saw it! You think southern democrats will forget that shit. Hell no.
And to make matters worse, we have a member here on DU who attended the convention with the Texas Delegation. They were warned ahead of time it was going to happen. It was fucking planned.
Some things are beyond the pale and unforgivable. Booing the great John Lewis is one of them.
Im still pissed off and indignant. You should be too.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
