Then, there's this:

I remember how vivid the sounds were as the troopers rushed toward us -- the clunk of the troopers' heavy boots, the whoops of rebel yells from the white onlookers, the clip-clop of horses hooves hitting the hard asphalt of the highway, the voice of a woman shouting, `Get 'em! Get the n*****s!'


That's John Lewis's account of how things began on Bloody Sunday in Selma in 1965. I quote it here to remind all those sleek, oh-so-clever dicks in the Republican vote-suppression business on which side of history they're presently lining up. I also quote it as a caution to the many people who will be covering what could be a volatile aftermath of an extremely close election.
