Perhaps he should organize a sit-in to think about it.

I don't know, but if you want to listen to a stream download the WSB Atlanta app or WGAC Augusta. They're both allowed to air his show online.

John Lewis was hardly fricking oppressed.


He got a lifelong job making six figures and doesn't have to do shite in return.


Where can I sign up for a gig like that?

In not a huge fan of the "democrats were the racists in the Jim Crow era" argument from the right.

It's a red herring at best - the kind of cheap point that the Maddows and Ron Reagan Jrs of the world rely on

Reagan has accomplished the same thing from the grave that Lewis has over the last 30 years.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what Rush said. His point was Reagan faced more violence than Lewis, but that hasn't elevated Reagan to Sacred Cow status

Rush just quoted a mag piece that said Michelle Obama was the most fashionably dressed first lady in US history. Where do they get this? I think she dresses like a clown and Ringling Brothers is no longer hiring.

That was a singular point in his 20 minute topic - I liked half of what he said

Just another small-government bro who can't appreciate the difference between being attacked by a nut job and being attack by armed, sworn agents of the state.

Michelle is above average First Lady but the left fellating her nonstop causes the backlash

following This Board's group think Reagan should've shut the frick up back when he was an actor spouting shite about the Government.

And yet, here we are.

I'm confused about the Reagan thing...Had nothing to do with Politics, just some crazy dude wanting to get attention from Jody Foster...Is this Lewis guy for real???What's the context here?

They're trying to tie in Reagan to say that we don't treat him as above criticism even though he got shot and Lewis only got his skull fractured. Or at least I think that's the point.

It's a dumb point, as Lewis got beaten for being a black dude pursuing actual justice against government actors who hated him and others who looked like him. This, of course, followed a long history of awful treatment where people (in government and out) treated Lewis et al as though they were subhuman.

Reagan was shot by a nut, and while I agree that neither is above criticism, the comparison just isn't particularly good.
