Here is a GOP Senator posing with, by far, America's most hate-filled, murder inciting racist.
It is too convenient that this 'civic organization' meeting happened a few hours before the 'Duke' meeting. It's too convenient that Scalise's friend was running both. It's too convenient that they were at the same location. It's too convenient that the earlier event 'also' had those who would attend the 2nd event also in attendance.
The "Jewish Question" comment in this article I chilling. Especially so as we see Israel opposed by Obama with nary a word of consternation from Boehner's GOP establishment.
Truly, Boehner has to go.
Let’s make one thing clear – there’s nothing “conservative” about racism and anti-Semitism, they are immoral perversions, not concepts that have any place in political discourse, especially conservative political discourse.
I agree. But a given racist can otherwise hold conservative political opinions with which I agree.
BTW, I think this point doesn't get enough play. Racism and anti-semitism are inherently in conflict with the principles true American conservatism is trying to conserve.
That racists in America have often (usually) otherwise held conservative beliefs doesn't change that fact.
Right or wrong, an event that happened 12 years ago, by a first term state Senator trying to meet every single group in his district, gets asked to talk to a bunch of senior citizens, in the same tiny motel that other groups were using. He never gave it a thought, until some reporter says you were talking to a bunch of David Duke neo-nazis.
He probably could not legitimately remember a small event from 12 years ago and apologized because that happens to be the knee jerk reaction all Republicans give to this kind of attack.
Whether you like Scalise or not, if we allow the media to paint every single possible occurrence to nefarious motives, we will hamstring every single Conservative and Republican candidates.
And politicians who meet with the new Black Pahthers or the Louis Farrakhan?
Must they resign in disgrace?
Indiana Representative Andre Carson (D) took part in a major Islamic convention in Chicago last weekend. The convention was hosted and sponsored by the Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Islamic Circle of North America.
Carson was a featured guest on a panel discussing the events in Ferguson and beyond. He was joined on that panel by a man named Mazen Mokhtar, who is known for operating an Al Qaeda website and fundraising for the Taliban.

I don’t care. There are numerous Congresscritters who wine and dine Islamic organizations whose philosophies are easily as ignorant and dangerous as those of the KKK. For that matter, there are plenty of racist organizations, black and Hispanic, that get plenty of play at the White House and in the halls of Congress. To attack a Congressman for an alleged acquaintance with David Duke, or the inconsequential organization the KKK has become, is petty.
At least with Byrd, we knew what he was, and we knew he hadn’t changed because of his associations with Islamists.
Whenever I see the scumbag Duke mentioned, I remember that in 1991, 60 % of the whites in Louisiana voted for him. Made me not want to go there for quite some time.
But Obama’s associations with Communists (Frank Marshall Davis), terrorists (Ayers) , Racists (Sharpton) are to be praised.
Dear Mr. Scalise,
Change your R to D join the KKK as a grand dragon and you’ll become a very powerful democrat leader.
Opie
So what is it that Duke and this ERUO group is advocating for?
Obviously by this point in history, that phrase ought to have set off some alarm bells, but it was quite common some decades back and Hitler wasn't the only person to use the phrase, nor was it restricted to anti-Semites.
Liberals lie about everything, then insist their lies are true just because they keep repeating them.
He’s one of Boner’s Boys anyway. RINO City. And he’s supposed to be the “conservative” in the leadership.
Dump them all.
