re: Maybe Scalise didn't actually speak to Euro-Conference

I believe that Scalise remembered speaking at the hotel, before a group, arranged by Knight, and that he immediately sought to practice damage control by apologizing. He thought his staff had not vetted the group and that he indeed had spoken to the Euro group, when in reality it was a neighbourhood association that Knight brought in to use the space ahead of the Duke group.
Now that the truth has come out that's exactly what took place as more and more of these Nazi/EURO nitwits validate the story that Scalise didn't attend their event.

Are you an expert on Jefferson Parish politics?

You must have missed the story that Scalise addressed a neighbourhood civic association according to Knight.
Keep on trollin'.

Track record my man - track record ..
Who is the more invested in these kinds of lies - all his fricking life??
I don't know Scalise at all. = but the fact that this is all that you have on him does not impress me one bit.
It sounds very much like a trivial 'gotcha' moment. UNLESS you can provide ANY info that he supported the group's agenda, or that the delivered a speech in line with their goals.
For a politician to show up at a group of warm bodies to deliver a standard stump speech is not very compelling - regardless of the group.
SO - why have you never admitted that his speech there was completely vanilla?
trolling??

Another phantom liberal-created scandal, next please
I am laughing my arse off at how they're trying so hard to make hay out of this "story". It's like a fish out of water.
Speaking of Lamar White, it's interesting we haven't heard a peep about te Bill Cassidy double billing story since Cassidy won the election. Hmmm......

It's a non issue. Obama attended a racist church, Holder belonged to a racist black militant group in college. Al Sharpton visits the White house over 80 times and is the unofficial race czar to the President.
Again, it's a non issue.

The Democrats had a former card-carrying KKK member among their ranks in the Senate for a half century. Thats all that needs to be said.

Story is officially dead even Nancy Pelosi dismissed the Lamar White Jr. account today. You know its bad when the Democratic leadership is distancing themselves from the story as quick as possible.

Yep. The GOP spend too much time trying to answer allegations of wrong doing from the left. The bottom line is that until the left is held to the same standard, the right should simply ignore the accusations.

Have you checked the big news websites today? Nothing. Yesterday’s top story is gone. CBS and NBC still have day-old posts about Scalise apologizing for delivering the brief 12-year-old address he barely remembers, but he’s vanished everywhere else.
There’s a good reason for that: it turns out the big story was, depending on how charitable you’re feeling, either dubiously sourced, a mistake, or an outright hoax. It fell to Betsy Woodruff at Slate to dig deeper and discover that on the fateful day, Scalise actually spoke to an innocent civic association, along with representatives from the local sheriff’s office and the American Red Cross. The unpleasant chaps from the Duke-linked “EURO” group had the room booked after the civic association was finished with it.
This is all based on the shifting recollections of a “longtime associate of David Duke” and neighbor of Steve Scalise named Kenny Knight, who is beginning to look like the unreliable single source for a too-good-to-check “scoop” the mainstream media’s “multiple layers of fact-checkers and editors” didn’t bother to investigate thoroughly before cudgeling an apologetic sound bite out of the Majority Whip.

Plus Slate is an openly liberal website. What reason would they have to discredit a story like this?

Holder belonged to a racist black militant group
Please detail your knowledge the group he belonged to other than its title.

This is all I can find from Pelosi:
quote:
“Whip Scalise’s involvement with a group classified by the Anti-Defamation League as anti-Semitic and the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group is deeply troubling for a top Republican leader in the House.
“However, actions speak louder than whatever Steve Scalise said to that group in 2002. Just this year, House Republicans have refused to restore the Voting Rights Act or pass comprehensive immigration reform, and leading Republican members are now actively supporting in the federal courts efforts by another known extremist group, the American Center for Law and Justice, which is seeking to overturn the President’s immigration executive actions.
“Speaker Boehner’s silence on this matter is yet another example of his consistent failure to stand up to the most extreme elements of his party.”

A bunch of students took over a lounge. That shite happens all the time. Doesn't mean militant.
Only you could make a bunch of Columbia wimps into militants.
