Do you really think that a politician who is as close to Duke as Obama is Wright could get elected President twice? The fact that you think that Jeremiah Wright is more reprehensible than David Duke is a perfect illustration of why the GOP can't attract minorities.
Can some show me where Jeremiah Wright said anything racist?

He hasn't. Inflammatory? Certainly. Anti-American? Maybe. Racist? No.

It shows a clear inability to understand the perspectives of minorities. The GOP will destroy their party if they never catch up, so go speak.
It'd be in their benefit to learn more about those communities to Attract its potential voters, as opposed to thejr current strategies

I'd be curious to know if ANY elected official could verify that they have NEVER spoken to anyone who is not or could not be deemed "racist."

Scalise is now linked with David duke. That is a disgrace on Louisiana and it is a disgrace on conservatives.
For the person who asked if I was under 35, no, I'm not. I'm old enough to remember the duke mentality and I know my white conservative business owning republican father called duke a c-nt every chance he got. Duke has been and always will be racist. He is scum and it is only the illness that infects Louisiana that would allow someone so crazed to make it to a balot.
There is no way to defend this and no other conservative will want to be with him or be seen making deals with his. What dems do in their time is their issue. But this is a frigging wake up call to true conservatives on whether they will go to save a guy who is linked to white supremacy or they will think about why minorities might have a valid claim the GOP doesn't represent him.
It may take a few weeks but scalise's district is changing too. There are a lot more black and Hispanic voters. He will step down from whip - maybe serve the end of his term and a newer 2.0 version of a conservative Hispanic or at least Hispanic friendly candidate will be put in that slot.
What I wonder is why the hit job now. Who did scalise piss off that it's coming out now. It's got to be from within ranks bc the dem op research crew would have thrown this out years ago.

what if the GOP hits the asians and lations hard and wins their support? then black support is irrelevant and not necessary

That's the point I was getting at earlier. No one could survive that type of scrutiny.

Hey stalker....maybe you could say that Scalise knew who he was talking to, and also knew that there were voters there he (regretably) needed...after all they did elect DD. That being said, he's likely not an actual racist or supporter of White Supremacist beliefs.
Maybe skip all of the excusing it as a poor vetting job and the "well Obama!"

The exception is Rand Paul. He's the only Republican out there trying. As a matter of fact, he seems to have become more comfortable talking to minorities than Hillary and other prominent Democrats.

Wright never said black people were superior to white people or other races and he never spewed racism or was in a church sponsored by David Duke.
Being critical of America is not anti-American.

It certainly impossible for politicians who share your mindset.

If the GOP keeps Scalise in the leadership position then anything it says about reaching out to minorities is garbage.
Symbols matter and this is highly symbolic. Scalise isn't being asked to resign from Congress but being in a leadership position is different. I really can see liberals using this against the GOP among minorities.
Do you actually think Ben Carson is cool with this? You can have all your Ben Carsons but this one thing with Scaliese counteracts that.

I agree with you that Wright is not anti-American, but I can understand how some folks might view some of his speeches as anti-American.

What's the big deal?
It was a youthful indescresion and it's not like he he was associating with known terrorist like Bill Ayers.

Yea if a black man criticises America he is a racist or anti-American. However Sean Hannity and Bill O'Rielly can come on every night and bash the president for every single problem in America. I bet they probably blame slavery on Obama.

I never said I think that Wright is more reprehensible. But let's have a little perspective here. One speech versus 20 years attendance at a crazy man's Church? And maybe if the media had been a little more inquisitive about Wright, Obama may not have won the first time. But the media being in the tank for Obama is old news.
What does Scalise's record show over the past 12 years or so? Does that count for anything?
Does the fact that Jeremiah Wright was Obama's pastor for 20 years count for anything? Does the fact that a race baiter, riot inciter, convicted libeller like Al Sharpton has visited the WH 80 times count for nothing?
If the AA population wants to continue to be exploited by the Dems, that's their choice and problem.
But this whole attack on Scalise is just an attempt to put the GOP on the defensive, and I think they would be crazy to take the bait.
