re: #80 Gus 802

Yeah. Same here. I need to control my anger in the meantime. You know me. Arms flailing and all. OK, not that bad. But there might be something behind it. Perhaps they let him speak later? Maybe Lewis showed up unannounced? I don’t know.

If the OWS crowd really didn’t like John Lewis, it’d be hard to imagine why. Not only is the guy a civil rights hero, he has also been among the most progressive members of the House for decades. He gave strong opposition to welfare reform and NAFTA, has been an advocate for gay rights, and led the charge to impeach Bush for fuck’s sake. I can’t think of a major politician more in line with your average left-wing protester.
