GOP House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Spoke At White Supremacist Conference

[Steve_McGarrett]

Twelve years before he was elected by his colleagues as House majority whip, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) spoke at a conference hosted by the white supremacist group European-American Unity and Rights Organization.

Louisiana political blogger Lamar White Jr. dug up a number of posts on Stormfront, one of the original white supremacist websites, that place Scalise at the 2002 EURO gathering. According to one user who attended the conference, Scalise -- then a state representative -- spoke to the organization at a workshop "to teach the most effective and up-to-date methods of civil rights and heritage related activism."

Two years after speaking at the conference, Scalise was one of just six state representatives who voted to oppose making Martin Luther King Jr. Day a state holiday in Louisiana. That was at least the second time Scalise had voted against an MLK holiday. He was one of three lawmakers to vote against it in 1999, too.

Founded in 2000 by former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke (who served as a Louisiana state representative from 1989 to 1992), EURO seeks to fight for "white civil rights." The group is recognized as a white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Well, shucks, this won't look good on his resume - except in red states.

Yes, but he said he was sorry and Boehner vouched for him so.... It's okay!

The Jewish Anti Defamation League accepted his statement too.

Salise is pro-Israel which David Duke said is the one thing he disagrees with him on.

As well as I.

This reminds me when liberals were outraged that 30 or so years ago Romney strapped his dog cage on the top of his car. Only to find out that Obama ate a dog. Liberals are idiots.

Let's see.

A grown man abusing an animal vs. a child eating what his parents give him to eat.

The idiot here is you.

How was the animal abused?

Locked up on the roof of a car long enough to shit himself.

If he was in a truck bed like many dogs travel, he would have shit inside the truck bed. Romney's oversight is he didn't make time for a potty break, something that most dog owners are well aware of.....that they need about as many potty breaks as a 4 year old child. Calling it abuse is just you Leftwats making an issue where there isn't one because you're hacks.

Will Scalise follow in Trent Lott's footsteps?

Will Scalise follow in Trent Lott's footsteps?

Seems they both felt that they'd be accepted when embracing White Supremacists ... bad calls.

It's easy for him to have been confused after 12 years, especially the 2 conferences being held 2 1/2 hours apart at the hotel.

Despite your attempts to marginalize Scalise, its a lost cause. The truth has come out. He DID NOT speak to EURO. You have failed.

 

[Dana7360]

Scalise for SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE!!!!

We whites had better start waking up or we will find our self just like south Africa or worse, ZIMBABWE. We won't have any rights. Stick together and work as a group...Everyone else does.

What happened in South Africa?

What I find extremely repulsive is that tea bagger actually thinks that America is the same as apartheid South Africa of the 1980s.

And they wonder why we believe they're racists.

Because he was actually confused about the situation. Can you remember speaking to somebody 12 years ago on a specific subject within a 2 hour time span on a certain date? Think about it. Scalise has given 100s of speeches since then. He didn't know who EURO was and accepted the media as being truthful in their fact checking and immediately issued an apology anyway. Turns out the knee jerk media and the liberal blogger who started this mess was wrong. He spoke at the Jefferson Parish Civics Association, a bunch of old people worried about their taxes. Scalise is owed an apology by the media as well as the Louisiana liberal blogger who created this mess.

On December 29, Niels Lesniewski of Roll Call reprinted an article that had been run in 1999, after Congressman Bob Livingston had resigned from Congress. Duke and Scalise were considering running for his seat and they and others were interviewed for the piece. When asked about a potential bid for Congress by Duke, Scalise had told the newspaper that he held many of the same "conservative" views as Duke, but was a more electable candidate, saying that Duke's "novelty" had worn off.[33] Two days later, Louisiana political reporter Stephanie Grace recounted that during her first meeting with Scalise two decades ago, he had told her that he was "like David Duke without the baggage".[34]

According to legislative records, Scalise was one of only three state legislators who, in 1999, voted against making Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a state holiday, and one of six who again, in 2004, voted against recognizing the holiday.[32][35]

This should qualify Scalise for a white sheet and pointy hat.
