He's not the House Majority Leader. However, he IS the Whip :opcat:

A congressman from Louisiana mistakenly spoke at a gathering hosted by the "European-American Unity and Rights Organization", which has an "affiliation with racists and neo-Nazi activists"? Well color me shocked. :Wha: I'm sure this will dominate at least a week's worth of news cycles, and rightly so. This guy is clearly a racist and the fact that he would even be considered for leadership just demonstrates how his entire party is a bunch of racists.

I remember seeing that story on the news for like a month straight about 10 years ago. He died, thankfully. Let's just hope this racist from Louisiana dies soon, too, because God knows his constituents won't vote him out.

I'd like to know what he actually said at the gathering. Maybe a recording will surface. Hopefully, he'll resign his leadership position and we can focus on more important things, but I do think the media is going to demonstrate its double standard on this. They'll really byrd-dog this for weeks.

The media went after Byrd pretty hard, too, iirc. And yeah, I guess if he went to the function to tell all of those people that they are racist hicks who should just stop breathing or something, then I guess that would be ok.

Or if he just talked about the economy, or oil drilling, etc. Immigration will be the landmine.

He talked about HUD likely.

What with the libtards starting all the Maddow-y threads???
Is there a marathon on msnbc I'm missing?

Sounds like he didn't speak to the group, but a different group in the same conference room earlier in the day. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/12/david_duke_adviser_kenny_knigh.html (http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/12/david_duke_adviser_kenny_knigh.html)

That story was from a few days ago. It appears Scaliae was a bit too hasty in confirming his presence at the meeting, likely in the interest if putting it behind him. The guy who organized the event says otherwise. Scalise has probably spoken at thousands of events over his career, so I really don't doubt that he doesn't have a detailed memory of his itinerary 12 years ago. This whole thing is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

well this took an interesting turn

Amazing

A formulaic Maddow story, hard hitting info-misinfo

The media went after Robert Byrd pretty hard? :lol: :lol:

Not as hard as they should have, but harder than they are going after this guy.

Listens to Maddow podcasts because too poor for cable

she has a podcast? :Wha:

Who the eff cares about Robert Byrd? Literally every single time a republican is involved in a race issue they bring up Robert Byrd, as if the world doesn't know that bigoted democrats don't exist. The fact that the sole example used are things done over 50 years ago by guy who, if still alive today, would be 97 years old; is pathetic. The media wasn't hard on him because they weren't alive when he was overtly racist.
Instead of posting a decade old link about things that happened over a half a century ago, wouldn't it be easier top just say Scalise made a mistake and just move on? We've moved on to a really old really dead guy and weirdly enough Rachel Maddow. Besides if this dude has to resign his position it won't be the fault of the lib media or Democrats in congress, it will be Boehner.

Man what a boss this scalise. Republican/minority issues? DGAF

Except that it appears the only mistake Scalise made was to admit attending an event over a decade ago that it turns out he probably didn't attend.
And I don't bring up Byrd to justify bad behavior but to demonstrate media bias. If you're really going to deny that, I'll be happy to provide other examples. Hint: don't deny it.

LOL @ MIR

“Scalise would communicate a lot with my campaign manager, Kenny Knight,” Duke told the Post. “That is why he was invited and why he would come. Kenny knew Scalise, Scalise knew Kenny. They were friendly.”
Scalise was invited because he a sharp and up-and-coming legislator who had a reputation of giving good talks about state politics, Duke said, adding that he didn’t know Scalise personally. But Duke did say that Scalise—via their mutual friend Kenny Knight—knew about Duke’s activities.
“All I know is that Kenny liked him. He thought Scalise, who remember was just a state representative, was sharp. They’d talk about the Hollywood system, about the war, whatever I was concerned about,” Duke said. “I think Scalise would talk to Kenny because he recognized how popular I was in his own district. He knew that knowing what I was doing and saying wouldn’t be the worst thing politically. Kenny would keep Scalise up to date on my issues.”
racists absolutely love this scalise guy

Sole example? LOL.

I illustrated why your claims of media bias are ridiculous. Robert Byrd was in the Klan before people owned televisions. I guarantee you that more people know Robert Byrd was in the Klan than even know who this guy is. I watch and read lots of news everyday and the only two places I've seen this story at is here and the Crooks and Liars Twitter feed. It's pretty clear that the msm gives no fucks about this story.

Maybe he just remembers speaking at a different hate group's convention and got confused. Why would he regret something he didn't do?

Because he issued a quick statement in the hopes of putting a lid on it, and didn't figure out from his records that he actually spoke to a different group earlier in the day in the same room? This happened over a decade ago.

That doesn't make much sense. Does he just speak at so many hate group conventions that he can't keep them straight? If I spoke at a KKK meeting 10 years ago, I think that I would remember that today.

That's kind of my point. This is an obscure group that he probably didn't even speak to, over a decade ago. Hence the fuzzy memory. This whole discussion is idiotic.

He's in constant contact with the groups organizer, but has never heard of it. Right... :lol:

The whip's Jeremiah wright/Bill ayers moment. Will he survive???? We'll see how it plays out on goE and report back.
