every few weeks or so, he/she will trying and slide a post in where he/she says, I said "Stonewall didn't matter", the latest iteration included claiming credit for inspiring President Obama's "Selma to Seneca Falls" speech!

Once a DUer posted a screed announcing 'Stonewall does not count, it is not like Selma!!!!' so I sent that thread to the WH and two weeks later Obama was saying 'From Seneca Falls to Selma to Stonewall' right there on the Big Day.

Of course, that's not what I said ... and posted links to burn down the strawman ... and of course, he/she did not response back; but I except it'll re-appear, soon ... it's been two whole weeks!
