Rep. John Lewis must be having flashbacks to his days as a civil rights activist, when racial hostility was the order of the day.

Yesterday he was one of several lawmakers who were heckled with racial epithets and spat upon -- yes, spat upon -- by Tea Party protesters who rallied against health care reform.
