Reply #43: Why would YOU be offended when he was not and completely

[sabrina 1]

understood the process that was taking place? He was invited to speak at the end of that process, but he could not as he had a prior engagement. Lewis is an intelligent adult unlike the crowd at The Blaze and FR. It is laughable to think they suddenly care about a civil rights hero who was attacked by the far right wachos who were then defended by the same people now attempting to turn this into something it was not. Do they really think everyone is as stupid as Fox viewers?

And btw, what does your (or anyone's for that matter) ethnicity or sexual orientation have to do with anything? Why do you feel the need to bring it up? You are a human being, that is enough, as far as progressives are concerned.

Save your sensitive feelings for Lewis, he was not at all offended and simply wanted to say he supports this movement, and his support is fully appreciated. As for the rightwingers who are trying, though failing, to make an issue of this, maybe the next time they encounter a hero like Lewis they should refrain from the kind of abuse they shamefully leveled at him the last they saw him.
