be an open coffin. she wanted photographers, the news people to see what happened to this 14-year-old boy. to see what racism and bigotry does. that galvanized the country. it was three months later that rosa parks refused to get out of her seat on the bus. images of vietnam, mi lai, the girl running down the street with napalm burning her skin off, these were images that turned this immoral war. that s why the person in charge don t want to show these images. they know what it does to people. i said in the blog that we live in a different age now with the internet and everything. don t be surprised if a parent and there already was one parent. the parent of noah posner veronique who didn t want the casket closed until the governor came. she wanted the governor to see essentially half of noah s face blown off.
if the parents approved of it. in my blog i talked about a young man named emmett till in 1955, a young black kid murdered down south simply because he was black. his mother insisted that there be an open coffin. she wanted photographers, the news people to see what happened to this 14-year-old boy. to see what racism and bigotry does. that galvanized the country. it was three months later that rosa parks refused to get out of her seat on the bus. images of vietnam, mi lai, the girl running down the street with napalm burning her skin off, these were images that turned this immoral war. that s why the person in charge don t want to show these images. they know what it does to people. i said in the blog that we live
members of the nra and 303 million americans who are not members of the nra. wayne says there are 100 million americans who own a gun. 200 million don t. we are the majority. the majority though is being outgunned, you might say, quite literally by the nra. the minority have the biggest voice in the debate. they are winning the argument. you cannot look at what happened today with what harry reid has done and not say he s been cowed by the nra. people watching the show right now can get out their iphone or blackberry, their laptop, and send an e-mail right now to harry reid. do it after the show. but they won t do anything if people don t stand up and say something. especially the democrats. this is going to require people to not sit on the couch and go, oh, geez, that harry reid.
