Rebuttal of Scalise smear attempt
Jan 3, 2015 02:31:15 #
To clarify the recent amatuerish attempt by one of our resident trolls to smear Mr. Scalise, a la David Duke, here is what ACTUALLY happened.
Too Good to Check: The Racist Republican
Republicans haven't even officially taken control of both houses of Congress yet and they're already embroiled in a drummed-up scandal. Specifically, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) is a "racist" -- like all other Republicans. Why? Because in 2002 he allegedly spoke to a Louisiana white supremacist group affiliated with infamous racist and anti-Semite David Duke, a former KKK leader who ran for multiple elected offices in Louisiana. Reactionary head hunting aside, Scalise didn't actually speak to the supremacist group in question but to a civic-association meeting before the racist conference began. The two happened to be in the same venue, but at different times. As National Review's Quin Hillyer, who knows Scalise personally, sums up, "In short, the more we find out about that event, and about Scalise, the more this whole 'scandal' looks like a case of guilt not just by association, but by unintentional, second-degree association -- a guilt wrongly assessed against a man with a long record of working not to divide the races but to bridge the differences between them." Even Democrat Rep. Cedric Richmond of New Orleans said Scalise "does not have a racist bone in his body." But never mind the facts when the Leftmedia can claim a Republican scalp. Still, Scalise took the high road and apologized, while condemning the supremacist group. Perhaps now the media could look into Democrat Sen. Cory Booker, whose website featured David Duke propaganda.

Loki, you know as well as I do that "Backdoor Booker" has nothing to worry about. He's not called Backdoor for nothing, and we all know how the liberals treat these fellows.

Liberals, and for that matter, Conservatives who post unverified crap annoy me.

It really does amaze me the double standards of the left. We have this situation, but meanwhile our own president is conversing w/ some of the most spoken racist/ or racebaiting individuals in this country from Sharpton and Wright
Does the hypocrasy of the left, know no bounds?

Truth give us Truth. Thank you, I am glad the facts did not support the accusations.
