73. Do you approve of the attacks on Congressman John Lewis by JPR tpes

Again, I was a delegate to the national convention. I was warned by my whip that the Sanders delegation had a planned attack on Congressman John Lewis. This was evidently a long planned event because my whip told me about it 20 to 30 minutes before it happen and I was later told that sanders knew of this stunt and took no steps to stop it.

The idiots at JPR were thrilled at this attack. https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/hey-john-lewis-karmas-a-mf-aint-it/

Hey John Lewis; karma's a MF, ain't it?
When you had the chance to get behind a true progressive in the primaries, you pretended you had no idea who he was. Not only that, you did so in a press conference in order to show your allegiance to Hillary “bring them to heel” Clinton. Yep. You sold your legacy of police beatings and marches for civil rights with MLK to align yourself with the biggest corporate sellout loser candidate the dems have ever run. “Why would you have done such a thing?” people may wonder. Well, I’m sure it has nothing to do with attaining more power in an already corrupt system that you don’t seem to have a problem with now that you’re a part of it. So when you take to the stage and claim that Trump isn’t a “legitimate” president, not only are you wrong, you’re also to blame for his having been elected in the first place. You and every other sellout in the party can all go fuck yourselves. And please do so in a place that’s far away from any levers of power.

… you should be aware that the self-proclaimed True Progressives ™ at JPR are not only in complete agreement with Trumplethinskin’s assessment, but feel that he didn’t go far enough in discrediting the civil rights icon:

”You sold your legacy of police beatings and marches for civil rights with MLK to align yourself with the biggest corporate sellout loser candidate the dems have ever run. So when you take to the stage and claim that Trump isn’t a “legitimate” president, not only are you wrong, you’re also to blame for his having been elected in the first place.”

”He went from Civil Rights Icon to Civil Rights Sell-out. Despicable.”

”He actively worked to take down the people's candidate and helped sink his the campaign of a fellow civil rights champion. His support of $hillary who was illegitimate in so many ways, greatly weakens his charges against Trump. Lewis helped sink the most legitimate candidate we have had in my lifetime. His opinion on who is legitimate or not does not move me.”

”Well, he supported a white supremacist and a white supremacist got elected. So I dunno what his problem would be.”

” How's his Super Delegate shit working for him now?? And his low life arm twisting …oh yeah…he is throwing his temper tantrum now!! tough shit!!”

”Fuck him and fuck his “civil rights” cred. You have no street cred now, Mr. Lewis. You could have been MLK’s Siamese twin, but that means jack shit now. You sell out. Hillary ass kisser. Fuck off and cry.”

Also on the JPR homefront: Trump is the legitimately-elected pOTUS, and all stories about his Russian ties are “fake news”. The “Establishment” is trying to “steal” his presidency away from him because they were planning a war with Russia, and the peace-loving Trump - as always mindful of the welfare of others - is standing in their way by pursuing a meaningful friendship with Putin.

Amazed at how the (alleged) True Progressives ™ on JPR have so quickly morphed into Trumpettes? You shouldn’t be. That’s what happens when a site full of malleable malcontents is overrun with RWers, and are willing to swallow any swill emanating from anti-Dem sources.

JPR takes “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” idiocy to a whole new level. They are now on-board with Mr. Tangerine Man, based solely on the fact that he “saved” them from the horrors that a Hillary presidency would have brought about – like appointing billionaire, Goldman-Sachs-type corporatists to her Cabinet. (So glad we dodged THAT bullet!)

So beware of Trumpettes wearing JPR's version of True Progressive ™ clothing. They were RWers (or RW wannabees) all along – or sadder still, mindless sheep willing to follow the Judas Goat without hesitation, while pretending to be independent "thinkers" immune to being led by the nose to the slaughterhouse.

JPR posters are sick and sad people. Attacks on DU had nothing with these idiots leaving. JPR posters on this thread are so full with hate that they had to attack a national treasure like Congressman John Lewis.

BTW, Congressman Lewis was busy today

Claiming that JPR posters are nice or innocent persons whose feelings were hurt on DU is a false claim. Russia had nothing to do with the underlying sickness of JPR posters
