Outside Agitators?


As I should have, I've read and reread Mark Boxley's article about Mayor Cunningham's remarks at the Lincoln Day Dinner. One more remark impresses me...
But we have some of these far-lefters coming in here, and they hit the county line coming into Blount County criticizing everything that moves.

Do you know what this sounds like? This sounds exactly like the comments Alabamians made about civil rights workers coming into Selma. "Outside agitators" they were called.

I have a lot of respect for U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander, who was also present at the event, but if I were him, I would do everything I could to disassociate myself with Cunningham's comments.
