Laura Ingraham Pops Off At John Lewis And Civil Rights Leaders!

Apparently the conservative agitator hated the March On Washington celebration. She goes off on the civil rights leaders and Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia).

And she knows Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia). Media Matters for America puts another huge one out there for the folks to decide on.

Laura Ingraham (Lo-In) is a fixture as the official stand in for Bill-O.

Lo-In competes in an industry of sharks. She been bounced from network to network affiliate for the last ten years now and it's apparently going to happen again. Sometimes some of the stuff she says is pretty stupid.

Media Matters has always keep the conservative agitators in the spotlight whenever they say something so offensive, the advertisers distance themselves from them.

The Raw Story reports that Ingraham was bitching about the March On Washington commentators.
Congressman John Lewis (D-Georgia) is an active participant in the Civil Rights Movement. He was criticized by that conservative agitator. That agitator personally knows Lewis.
Following the lead of conservative media outlets like Breitbart and The Blaze, Ingraham lashed out Martin Luther King III for saying on Saturday that “the color of one’s skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder.”

“But it all comes down to just George Zimmerman?” she asked. “The goal was, as our caller said, to divide. To co-opt the legacy of Martin Luther King into a modern day liberal agenda, a left-wing agenda, progressive agenda. Whatever you want to call it. From gay marriage to immigration amnesty was thrown in for good measure. We talked about the Voting Rights Act.”

To make her point about immigration, Ingraham played a portion of Lewis’ speech.

“We must say to the Congress, pass comprehensive immigration reform,” Lewis said. “It doesn’t make sense that millions of our people…”

But the congressman’s remarks were interrupted by a loud echoing gunshot followed by a few moments of silence. Ingraham offered no explanation for the sound effect.

In a 1965 march for voting rights that would come to be known as “Bloody Sunday,” Lewis had his skull fractured by Alabama State Troopers while walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Even after his friend Martin Luther King Jr. was killed by a gunman in 1968, Lewis continued his commitment to the civil rights movement. He went on to settle in Georgia and run for Congress.
