GOP House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Spoke At White Supremacist Conference

[TooTall]

The story is not over with yet. Wait until ALL the facts are out.

The story is over. Scalise never spoke to EURO.

Except for the people who were there and touting his speech.

"Scalise was reportedly armed with a microphone at the Landmark Best Western in Metairie and talking about tax policy to an international convention… of white supremacists and neo-Nazis. According to a commenter who used the name “Alsace Hebert,”

Steve Scalise was a highlight of the convention. Quoting (from Stormfront):

• "EURO’s recent national convention held in the greater New Orleans area was a convergence of ideas represented by Americans from diverse geographical regions like California, Texas, New Jersey and the Carolina’s. This indicates that concerns held are pervasive in every sovereign state and Republic alike, within an increasingly diminishing view of where America stands on individual liberty for whites.
• In addition to plans to implement tactical strategies that were discussed, the meeting was productive locally as State Representative, Steve Scalise, discussed ways to oversee gross mismanagement of tax revenue or “slush funds” that have little or no accountability.

• Representative Scalise brought into sharp focus the dire circumstances pervasive in many important, under-funded needs of the community at the expense of graft within the Housing and Urban Development Fund, an apparent give-away to a selective group based on race.

Mr. Hebert was so impressed by Representative Scalise’s apparent characterization of the Housing and Urban Development Fund as nothing more than a scam designed to give-away public monies to “a selective group based on race,” that, two years later, with David Duke behind bars, Hebert took to the pages of Stormfront to float another candidate’s name for Congress. Quoting (bold mine):

• It was just announced that Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson will enter the race in the 1st Congressional District. Those that attended the EURO conference in New Orleans will recall that Scalise was a speaker, offering his support for issues that are of concern to us.
• I suppose if Duke does not make the election for whatever reason, this gentleman would be a good alternative.

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise Was Reportedly an Honored Guest at 2002 International White Supremacist Convention

"Reports that Rep. Steve Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, gave a speech to a white nationalist conference connected with David Duke in 2002 are not accurate, the man who organized the events said Wednesday (Dec. 31).

Kenny Knight, a longtime political adviser to Duke, said Scalise spoke at a meeting of the Jefferson Heights Civic Association -- not affiliated with the European-American Unity and Rights conference that was held in the same Metairie hotel -- two-and-a-half hours before the white nationalist event started"

Steve Scalise spoke to civic association meeting not white nationalist conference David Duke adviser Kenny Knight says NOLA.com

Just another democrat lie.

That's the David Duke best bud -- and contributor to Scalise covering butt.

Those remarks by the attendee long before this story broke speaks for itself.

All liberals have to do is make the accusation. No matter how false. Then they will cling to that lie no matter what else happens.

Fact-Checking Site Finds Fox News Only Tells the Truth 18 Percent of the Time

For liberals, it’s not exactly “breaking news” to find out that Fox News is mostly comprised of misinformation or flat-out lies. Anyone with even a shred of common sense can watch just a handful of their featured shows and see that the entire channel is nothing more than a propaganda mechanism for the Republican party.

<Snip>

Though I’m sure any conservative who might run across this article, or the Punditfact profiles, would simply dismiss the results as “liberally biased lies.” You know, because anything that’s not approved by Fox News or some other right-wing media source is clearly “liberally biased propaganda.” Which is really a fantastic piece of rhetoric, isn’t it? Fox News, and other right-wing media sources, can lie as much as they want. Then if any other source debunks the nonsense they’re spewing, the conservative media simply dismisses it as “lies perpetuated by the liberal media.”

Fact-Checking Site Finds Fox News Only Tells the Truth 18 Percent of the Time

please post the truth stats for MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYtimes, Wash post, etc. I think you will find that they are all less truthful than Fox, but you don't really care about that TRUTH do you?

It's in the same article. All other news sources are more truthful than Fox.

It has the exact 2002 post by the Stormfronter who said THIS - (with the link so you can see for yourself)

• "EURO’s recent national convention held in the greater New Orleans area was a convergence of ideas represented by Americans from diverse geographical regions like California, Texas, New Jersey and the Carolina’s. This indicates that concerns held are pervasive in every sovereign state and Republic alike, within an increasingly diminishing view of where America stands on individual liberty for whites.

• Representative Scalise brought into sharp focus the dire circumstances pervasive in many important, under-funded needs of the community at the expense of graft within the Housing and Urban Development Fund, an apparent give-away to a selective group based on race.

The thread has remained there since -- just a few days ago, a Stormfronter who added this:

"We have our man on Capitol Hill!" - White USA

You haven't figured out what the story is yet. You are still stuck in the trap laid out by opponents of the Republican leadership in Congress. They and you think the story is about an event that happened 12 years ago. They could have turned that lemon into lemonade, but instead let it drive them into damage control and put them on the defense. They have allowed the story to become one of illustrating weakness, incompetence and dysfunction in the leadership of the Republican congress.

There is no story except the fact the knee jerk media took a liberal blogger's word that Scalice spoke to EURO and didnt fact check the fact that Scalise actually spoke to the Jefferson Parish Civics Association within the 2 hour timeframe EURO had their conference at the same hotel.

They can't be posted because you are full of shit and those stats don't say what you proclaim. Anyhow, if they do than you should post them.

the so-called statistics about Fox are also bullshit. But you lefties made the claim, all I am asking is that you post the stats on the others. But again, fairness of reporting is not your agenda, now is it?
