you didn't donate to john lewis's campaign.oll down and you take a look at the small fine print that requires people like me to wear glasses, under that big blue dough -- donate button, you probably missed this, contributions to the national republican congressional committee are not deductible. that's right. it's the latest dirty trick rolled out by the nrcc. the fake lewis web site is just one of at least 18 that we know of created by the nrcc to dupe would-be contributors and there might be one very big reason. democratic counterparts have outraised them by nearly ds -- $6 million to date. but do they really need to resort to these sort of dirty tricks? it would seem to make sense if your candidates are so great, focus on them, focus on what they stand for, rather than coming up with yet another way to dupe democratic supporters. joining me now is the reporter who first broke the news offer the legality of these web sites. shane, thanks for joining me. >> thanks for having me on. >> this idea of url parking, that's been arou

john lewis, the honorable john lewis, member of congress from georgia, he tells the story and he says that they were beating them and he thought that he was going to die. they were beating -- they were beaten all the way back to the church where they started. this was in 1965. a year after the 1964 voting rights act was signed. well, dr. king came to montgomery, alabama, to selma, alabama, and dr. king proceeded with the march. this was after the time that we call bloody sunday. dr. king came and they marched from selma to montgomery. but now, this is where the story gets interesting. because there is a person that i have labeled the greatest unsung hero of the civil rights movement. barring none, the greatest unsung hero of the civil rights movement. a person who is known to very few people, a person who made it possible for dr. king and the marchers to move from selma to montgomery without having to onfront the con stab lair that engaged in a brutal act previously and may have done a similar thing. this man, the greatest unsung hero of the civil rights movement was a republican. thi

lowery, along with congressman john lewis and others in the georgia congressional delegation, voicedposition to that deal for a number of reasons, including a lack of diversity. and specific to boggs, there were concerns he cast a vote as a state legislature to keep the confederate battle emblemed a parz of the georgia state flag, his opposition for same-sex marriage, and a funneling tax dollars to pregnancy centers through the purchase of special license plates. since december, the opposition has grown. 27 organizations have signed on to a letter opposing judge boggs. given his poor record on civil right, women's rights and lgbt rights, you can see why such a broad coalition opposes this nomination. it's my honor to welcome civil rights leader and founding member of the southern christian leadership conference, the reverend joseph lowery. thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to just get right to it, reverend, and hear from you. i know you joined with congressman john lewis and a number of others from the georgia congressional delegation to raise co

there is a great quote by john --is got us where he says from john lewis where he says the presidentis a singularity where you have to fuse with continuity. i don't think things are better now than they were in the 1960's as a whole. we have less farmland, less industry, people dropping out of school, fewer jobs. if you look at the indexes, which you have pointed to many times, and you are right. as long as you can get people distracted and thinking about the past and how much better it is now than it was then -- which is a lie -- then you can continue to keep their eyes off the prize. >> why do you think hollywood loves to keep us in the past? they want anynk challenges. i think hollywood is consent -- content with condescending to black people, patronizing and feeling sorry for us, and i think we are happy to take the pat on the head as a people and take whatever awards -- it is kind of like a consolation prize. if you played down trodden and beaten up and a white man comes , or thed saves you white woman, then they are going ascontinue to see themselves without their help, we woul

john lewis and stewart gafne, together for 17 years at the time, were among the first to tie the knot it was the very first time in our lives that we felt our government treating us as equal human beings. >> reporter: then mayor gavin newsom had ordered the county court to issue the licenses. it would become known as the winter of love. for the next month, more than 4,000 couples from 46 states and six countries flocked to san francisco. many waiting in line even in the rain for the opportunity to marry. newsome became a hero to some, a villain to others, even within his own democratic party. >> a lot of folks second-guessing and saying could have, should have, would have done it a little differently. but i have no regrets. >> reporter: those marriages ten years ago were eventually voided and newsome's actions led to a lengthy battle that included the 2008 voter approval prop 8 which says marriage is only between a man and a woman. last june, a court ruled that same-sex marriages are legal in california. bill may calls is a bizarre situation. >> the voters have passed a bill to find m

john lewis, that's the name i was thinking of.he idea that race was not a factor in the 60s is pretty hard to that. he is a leader in this country. when you hear a black leader speak like that, what's it mean to you? >> it is severely disturbing. i won't call it disappointing, because i didn't expect anything different from justice thomas. he has had a long history of walking through doors and closing them behind him. he acknowledges no part that affirmative action played in his life but he wants to close the door for others. he suggested race doesn't matter, that race shouldn't matter or be a factor in any decision-making process. this ignores reality of race that persists today. the supreme court justice is more disturbing, because they have the power to make decisions. if they make decisions on color blindness, we don't see or acknowledge or pretend it doesn't matter. it shouldn't be to be post-racial but post racist. for him to admit the fact that they acknowledge difference, we should. it shouldn't be a social demerit. in the

we sat in front of john lewis, who had been beaten to open up america.e pain of many parents who are the parents of children victimized by gun violence in communities, parents whose schools don't function well for them and whose communities are crumbling. and the initiative the president is doing is not against the injustices that we fight for the trayvons, but the injustices inside, some of which we won't stand up and challenge and give excuses ourselves. and i thought about if it wasn't for bishop f.d. washington and reverend bill jones, who mentored me when i had no father, and a mother that believed in me, that i wouldn't have been sitting in the white house today as a head of a civil rights group. that's more important to me than any differences i may have. yes, bill o'reilly and i have differences, and we will continue to. but i think what is more important to me is not who i differ with, but who i can stand up for and stand up with. we must help young men in the community, because i'm one of them young men that got help. and we owe it to work with
