WASHINGTON – The Obama administration’s former Attorney General Loretta Lynch has made an impassioned video plea for more marching, blood and death on the streets – a video that was later posted on the Facebook page of Senate Democrats as “words of inspiration.”
The video is less than a minute long and begins by stating that people are experiencing “great fear and uncertainty,” with the unstated implication it is due to Donald Trump’s takeover of the White House.
Without offering any specifics, Lynch goes on to say that “our rights” are “being assailed, being trampled on and even being rolled back.”
Lynch, who is scheduled to receive the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Medal of Law from the University of Virginia, goes on to say: “It has been people, individuals who have banded together, ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals who have made the difference. They’ve marched, they’ve bled and yes, some of them died. This is hard. Every good thing is. We have done this before. We can do this again.”

My rights are being assailed, you hate spewing radical! I am a Democrat who voted for Trump made fearful to admit that I support our president because I could be fired or attacked. What kind of country is that? I guess it's what you and yours want, Ms. Lynch.
ReplyDeleteThis is the community organizing stuff that got Obama the Nobel Prize.
ReplyDeleteMLK marched, bled, and died. Please tell me what is so sensational (or inaccurate) about these remarks.
ReplyDeletewhat are the riots for? What are the demands? We currently have everything! And why didn't she mention MLK? I'm asking because I'm confused! Gay marriage? Muslims immigrants? Immigrants? Women voting rights equal pay? Black people voting? Marijuana being left up to the states? Black colleges getting more money? Women in NASA? Women in stem cell research? Women inventors? We currently have all of this and Trump added more to it!! Planned parenthood, hasn't changed in this country. So again please tell me because I'm thinking its more about hating someone becauae he is white, older, haircut and is rich. Can't be his policy's. Maybe I missing something please tell me! Thank you.
DeleteThis does nothing to unify the US. This is anarchy and spreading hate.
ReplyDelete“It has been people, individuals who have banded together, ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals who have made the difference. They’ve marched, they’ve bled and yes, some of them died..... Straight from her mouth,that's exactly what is Trump voters did a few months back!!!
ReplyDeleteBig Mike
The entire Obama administration were all racist socialists. If it didn't benefit blacks, gays or immigrants, it must be wrong.
ReplyDeleteNow I see why the dem's were calling Trump racist when there was nothing racist in any of his comments. They see him being racist because of policies he wants to enact that eliminates freebees for all the minority special interest groups. So, that in itself, is racist to people like Lynch, Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, etc.
God help the democratic party if people wake up and start thinking for themselves. Once they do, the democratic party will be a relic.
And when being choosen AG, it was said this past worthless AG was a great subject with honesty and integrity. Ended up snuggling "serindipiously" with Billy The Stud, probably in a hanger.LMAO
ReplyDeletemaybe she would like to be the first to shed the blood
ReplyDeleteThis is just what I was thinking. She could protest on a freeways at night, dressed all in black, with her muslims friends.That will get more blood shed. She should do what she preached. Without her security like she is telling others to do.
DeleteCan someone please introduce an oz. of Pb between her brows.
ReplyDeleteMy reply to this on Main Street Patriots FB page works just as well here

Full quote for context:
"I know that this is a time of great fear and uncertainty for so many people,” Lynch says. “I know it’s a time of concern for people, who see our rights being assailed, being trampled on and even being rolled back. I know that this is difficult, but I remind you that this has never been easy. We have always had to work to move this country forward to achieve the great ideals of our Founding Fathers.”
“It has been people, individuals who have banded together, ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals who have made the difference. They’ve marched, they’ve bled and yes, some of them died. This is hard. Every good thing is. We have done this before. We can do this again.”

I understand that to some of your readers this seems threatening and there's probably no way around that. But the way this article makes it sound -if only by the headline alone- is that the "blood" is what is sought instead of just one potential price that might be called upon us to remit?
And whose blood is this implying will be shed?
How many death threats do people doing the right thing receive? How many suffer more than threats?
In the 50's Anne Braden and her husband purchased a home for a black couple (the Wades) in a white neighborhood. They broke the law and social conventions of the time. They were punished. (As we're the Wades, the house had a cross burned on it's lawn and later was bombed)
Here's another one: Viola Fauver Gregg Liuzzo (April 11, 1925 – March 25, 1965) was a Unitarian Universalist civil rights activist from Michigan. In March 1965 Liuzzo, then a housewife and mother of five with a history of local activism, heeded the call of Martin Luther King Jr and traveled from Detroit, Michigan to Selma, Alabama in the wake of the Bloody Sunday attempt at marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Liuzzo participated in the successful Selma to Montgomery marches and helped with coordination and logistics. Driving back from a trip shuttling fellow activists to the Montgomery airport, she was shot dead by members of the Ku Klux Klan. She was 39 years old. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
17 people were hospitalized and dozens of others injured on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on "Bloody Sunday" - people marching for civil rights.
MLK Jr. himself was arrested 30 times. For doing the right thing. Most people thought ill of him at the time.
It's only after the fact that people can see the bravery and dedication it takes to stand up for what they know is right. And despite what you may think about those of us on the "left" we know that's how y'all probably feel as well. History judges us all.
