Scalise’s political circle worked furiously late Monday to quell the storm, with his confidants e-mailing reporters and House members, assuring them that Scalise did not know the implications of his actions in 2002 and describing him as a disorganized and ill-prepared young politician who didn’t pay close attention to invitations.
"Hey intern, sign me up to speak at this EURO convention thing."
"Um, Mr. Scalise, shouldn't I research the organization fir-"
"Oh shut up, it's something about European Americans and Unity or whatever. I'm sure that's like the Swedish-American Club or something."
"...but sir, David Duke's the keynote spea-"
"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP AND SIGN ME UP FOR IT. Put me in for that NAMBLA convention thingy too while you're at it. EVERYONE MUST HEAR MY TAX REFORM IDEAS."
Quote:
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a leading conservative in the House, said in an interview Monday that he stood by Scalise and believed that many conservatives in the House’s hard-right bloc would do the same. “Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners,” King said.
MY GOODNESS THAT IS SOME SPIN. Admittedly, Rep. King's statement would have made sense if Rep. Scalise's remarks at the EURO convention were along the lines of "Hey guys, this whole 'white superiority' thing seems a tad uncouth. Ya know? Doesn't that seem to rub y'all morals the wrong way, or is that just me? Now y'all want to read Colossians 3:9-11 with me or what?" But nope, he was giving a lecture on conservative tax reform. Doesn't really fit the Jesus-y thing.
Though maybe Rep. King is onto something about this whole "compare a scandal involving unsavory groups to Jesus" excuse. I'll remember that the next time I get caught hanging out in a brothel. I WAS ONLY DISCUSSING TAX REFORM WITH THEM. YOU KNOW JESUS HUNG OUT WITH PROSTITUTES TOO, RIGHT?
Wow, this guy sounds disgusting! And conservatives wonder why their party attracts so many racists! It starts with their leadership!!!
Did you read the whole article? He made a speech for this group, apparently about reining in government spending. He did this at a time when he was an unknown and sought publicity. Probably not a good choice, but it doesn't prove he is a bad guy.
Unless it can be shown that he endorses this group's beliefs, there is no story.

He was there, that means he endorses their beliefs.
Come on now...don't get all brand new and start changing up. React the same way you would if this were a black congressman at a black supremacist meeting.
Isnt THIS exactly the same as the NAALCP??? sO TO THE LIB, tis is a "HATE" group, but the NAALCP is not?
The motto of the black lib: Civil Rights for ME, but not for thee!
I think the dying Democrat dinosaurs are panicked as they watch Obama destroy their Party.
lol
Seriously? Are you guys for real doing this?
I mean, it's all about irritating liberals on CD isn't it? You guys don't give a hoot about the future of the GOP at this point, do you?
You just compared the NAACP, the group that brought Brown v. Board of Education to America; a group who's legal action laid much of the legal groundwork for desegregation and the Civil Rights legislation of the 1950s and 60s, to an avowed white nationalist organization that once published an article stating:
Quote:
"The beautiful Germany of the 1930s with blonde children happily running through every village has been replaced with a multi-racial cesspool. Out of work Africans can be seen shuffling along the same streets, which used to be clean and safe in the days of the National Socialists. One day, people in Germany will grow tired of the politically correct police state that is destroying their lives. They will recover their national pride and start speaking the truth about their past regardless of what the militant lesbians or thought police tell them. Once that happens, Germany may finally be a great nation again -free of foreign control."
You just did that.
Are some of you guys just pretty much to the point where you're like "we know the minority vote is growing, but screw the idea of broadening our appeal, let's just hope the 41% of whites that don't vote Republican are secretly racist"? Just curious.
It's funny that you folks have no problem with Obama and deBlasio seeking council with the country's most notorious black supremacist, Al Sharpton. These meetings with Sharpton go far beyond giving one speech to a racist group.
You disgusting pigs were also OK with having Robert "KKK" Byrd and Fritz Hollings (who decided to fly the Confederate Flag atop the SC Capitol Dome) on your side as well.
Not to mention Obama's long time association with the brown supremist Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Well, Obama DID speak to Al Sharpton's racist NAN.
He also spent 20 years in racist Wright's vile "church" but he claims he never heard a single word the America Hater said
That "America Hater" gave up his college deferment and served successively in two different branches of service. This is at a time when he had no full civil rights to speak of in his own country. He's earned the right to say anything he wants about America.
And NAN isn't a black supremacist group to my knowledge.
