(62,325 posts)link? Lol, I was waiting for you to provide something, some credible source that would prove me wrong on Rep. Lewis's own words but in a way, that was wrong of me. There IS no credible source to back up your claims.
And now for the facts you so distorted, from Rep. Lewis to one of several reporters he spoke to after his Atlanta visit to OWS. HIS story hasn't changed so I will go with this man whose integrity cannot be questioned rather than the ridiculous nonsense you are regurgitating without a single link from any credible source to back you up. You can thank me later:
Some Democrats Praise, Republicans Slam OWS
Yes, Republicans totally agree with you re OWS. But as the article demonstrates, some prominent Dems, notably Rep. Lewis, publicly support OWS and here is Rep. Lewis addressing the the subject of the Atlanta visit he made to OWS and why he did so:
"And at the same time they want to speak to America, speak to people in power, to officials of the American government but also to the business community, especially Wall Street, to corporate America, to bankers. They're saying, in effect, that we bailed out Wall Street and now it's time for Wall Street and corporate America to help bail out the American people.
"People are hurting. They're in pain and they're looking for jobs. They want us to humanize the American government but also humanize corporate America."
Lewis said he visited the rally near his Atlanta office "to lend my support and to encourage the people because I support their efforts all across America." He was unable to speak to the crowd, he said, but not because he was refused. Lewis said the group told him he could speak after they finished their business, but that he had to leave.
I gave you plenty of opportunity to do a little research yourself, but clearly you do not want to hear from Rep. Lewis himself, not something that was ever hard to find.
Nor is the false story you presented here hard to find. But as I said, not from any credible source.
Now go argue with Rep. Lewis, others have tried, but his own words tell the truth which for some reason you seem so reluctant to accept.
