Civil Rights Icon John Lewis: Snowden’s Actions In Line With Gandhi, Thoreau

[morningfog]

173. Go back and read my last post.

We only disagree on one point. I am saying you could be right, but no one but you has said so.

The reporter messed up big time. They supplied the word praise when that is not what Lewis said or implied. Lewis did say it was an act of civil disobedience, one that he does not agree with or support.

He clarified because the reporter ran the opposite direction with his answer to the Snowden question and/or because they did not give the full answer. But, it does seem to be at least part of the answer to that question he gave.

There is no denial from me. I don't see why you think you can be so sure of yourself that the answer quoted either 1) is not what Lewis said (which we know isn't the case) or 2) was an answer to a different question. That came from you and you alone. Lewis clarified and expanded on that answer. The Guardian and those who picked it up used it improperly, wrongfully interpreted it and added "praise."
