Unless it can be shown that he endorses this group's beliefs, there is no story.
Do you honestly believe that he addressed this group on government spending issues, let's not mistake this for a think tank. The details of his speech are missing, too bad.

And NAN isn't a black supremacist group to my knowledge.
Yet, YOUR president felt he had to disown his America hating ass. Serving in the military doesn't make you right on all other issues. Though I do give him credit considering the time he grew up in.

He didn't EARN it, we were BORN with free speech rights -- even the right to HATE.

Have you missed Al Sharpton's speeches?

Well; since the KKK's starting to "integrate", maybe hanging with them ain't so bad in 2014. Back in 1964 I'd have stayed as far away from their kind as possible and I'm def "white".

Not to even mention Rev. Wright preaching whitey is the devil sermons for 20 years. All kinds of nuts around; including those OWs and now burning and looting. Nothing as come closer to KKK tactic of old. Even the lynch mobs on the streets same type.

You have pretty much gone off the reservation with this post, comparing OWS, Wright and lynch mobs. I take it you have no defense of Scalise other than he's not such a bad guy because......

Honestly, you people are all over the place in defense of the indefensible. Do you have any elected official to compare to Scalise if this is true?

So what?

Robert Byrd (D) from WV was a leader in the KKK, but was respectfully eulogized by all of the major dems at his funeral.

Absolutely no surprise. After all, this really is the foundation of all that the GOP stands for. More in common with white supremacy than not.

Obama DEFENDED OWS. He told the Ferguson mob of looters and rioter to "Stay the course"

Have you missed Al Sharpton's speeches?
He EARNED it.

And yeah...i have missed his speeches.

Which goes to prove my contention that white folks follow Sharpton far more than blacks do. In fact, i'm now beginning to believe that he's a white leader without even being white.
