1. It's so obviously a trap

1. Have John Lewis totally pants on fire lie about Bernie
2. Bernie supporters respond
3. "OMG, racist white Bernie supporters are calling out the greatest living civil rights leader!"

[cali]

2. Yep. But quoting him without comment

isn't attacking him. I have great and abiding admiration for his sacrifice.

3. So fuckin' what? n/t

[cali]

4. Just correcting the record.

I'm sure you support accurate information.

[Matt_in_STL]

7. From what I have seen, you are sorely incorrect there.

[cali]

11. Huh? Representative Lewis says it himself. Just click the links.

[Matt_in_STL]

12. Sorry - I was referring to your comment on Nance supporting correct information.

[Art_from_Ark]

10. LOL!

Someone who calls us "Sandernista cultists" isn't too interested in accurate information

[w4rma]

6. Have you lost your appetite for accuracy since you started supporting Hillary, Nance? (nt)

9. As a long time lurker, it is amazing how many people I have respected on here...

Have worked so hard to lose that respect over this primary season. I know it doesn't matter to them, but it sure is disheartening for those of us who come here mostly to read and be informed, knowing that maybe we can't really trust them based on the misinformation they push and support now.

15. I'll be so glad when the Clintons are completely retired from politics. (nt)

[CBGLuthier]

17. Damn. Only one remark about this. She must know it is a losing argument.

SFW indeed.

[Fumesucker]

19. I proudly stand with Nance Greggs v2.0.08, that lady was a sharp judge of character

[cali]

5. Representative Lewis remembered incorrectly

We all do it.

[2pooped2pop]

8. riiight

That must be it. Some of us incorrectly remember what we said before when trying to change our story.

[LexVegas]

13. Keep attacking John Lewis. It will help in SC. While you're at it, start attacking Obama too. nt

[nc4bo]

14. Why is finding, reporting "truth" considered"attacking"? nt

[cali]

16. This is in no way an attack on American hero, John Lewis

Anyone can erroneously remember when they met someone.

Fail at trying to frame this as an attack.

We're on to you.

[Duppers]

18. Because the discussions are still continuing

This needs more attention.

I don't understand why John Lewis would make such false statements because the facts can be traced.

[azurnoir]

20. In all fairness to John Lewis he said he met Bill and he met Hillary

he did not say when he meet them -tht was left to the imagination of the reader
