New House Majority Whip

[MakeItRain]

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.

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.

“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.

[star seed 7]

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