Congressman John Lewis Visits Occupy Atlanta

Congressman John Lewis came out to Occupy Atlanta on Friday, October 7th in Woodruff Park. He even commented on the Atlanta General Assembly's group consensus process saying "this is not something strange or out of the ordinary for me," and he was "not at all" disappointed he wasn't able to adress the Assembly.

He is old and weak. Blacks need the Chinese to speak up for them.

Lewis once faced police beatings.

Now he's got to chase votes. Its cool he remembers! Now we're facing the Demublican's police. Lewis won't be there for us! We must stay independent of both parties of war and corporate power like King was after the Dems sold us out in 1964! It was nice that we did it thoughtfully. It's useless to insult a person but worse to be drawn into the electoral culdesac till we have our own candidates who'll organize with us! Its hard work: Don't blink!

@you831able I thought your original post was funny; it just could have been funnier if presented better. I love political humor, no matter who it's directed at. And there are lots of sheep in the political process for sure, whether it's Occupy or the Tea Party.

@alextrippe44 - Finally the truth has been spoken!!!! These kids have been brain washed by their teachers. Eventually like all college students, they will start making money and see that some guy named FICA is taking their hard earned money... I was a democrat straight out of college, then I learned about how they take my money and give it to some hood rat who will never work.

@nathanjamesbaker - Thanks for the advice meat whistle! Now go desecrate some soldiers grave or correct some pronunciation of Christmas tree! The whole post was a joke... Liberals are sheep as displayed in this video... If our country follows the path of our marxist president, we will be paying for food with Euro's in 4 years. People seem to forget that capitalism is what made us #1. China has found this out, and is now crushing all of it's competition.

@you831able That would have been funnier if you had switched the order, and put the ALL CAPS stuff second, to signify which version was louder. Also, the snippets should each be three or four words long, not one or two words long. You got the hang of it toward the end. BTW, head lice is two words, not one.
