When the 50th Anniversary was coming up, I knew there would be whining and gnashing of teeth by the Right.....it was just a question of what form it would take. Now we know.
Sorry Republicans, But Sen. Tim Scott Was Invited To the March On Washington
The latest in Republican false meme creation began when ABC Benghazi emails News reported, The only African American serving in the Senate, Republican Tim Scott, wasnt invited to partake in the festivities today, a spokesman confirmed to ABC News. This statement was also reported by the Newscorp owned Wall Street Journal, which was then quoted by The Washington Post.
But according to the event organizers, this isnt true. Roll Call broke with the mainstream media tradition of taking a Republicans word for it by actually asking the organizers of the event if Republicans were invited. In an email statement, a spokesperson for the event said, This was truly a bipartisan outreach effort All members of congress were invited to attend and the Republican leadership was invited to speak. Majority Leader Eric Cantors office was very helpful in trying to find someone to speak at the event. Making this commemoration bi-partisan was especially important to members of the King family, too.
Typical crap. Cherry pick paragraphs. No mention that Cantors invite was an afterthought 12 days before the event after he had already committed to other events, albeit, non official.
You guys are so fucking hell bent on painting the GOP as a bunch of racists, you refuse to see what the fuck is happening around you.
Let's turn this around and look at it from a serious, professional viewpoint:
Why would Eric Cantor, John Boehner, etc. make plans to be elsewhere? They have top-notch staffs as Speaker and Majority Leader. These staffs know how to read a calendar.
If anyone in Washington had "scheduling conflicts" it was deliberate.

as the only sitting black senator would you have gone as a 'spectator'?

So...it IS about him being black?
of course it is, you'd invite prominent gays to speak at an event lauding gay rights wouldn't you?

I'm saying that this event has been on the calendar for 50 years!Typical crap. Cherry pick paragraphs. No mention that Cantors invite was an afterthought 12 days before the event after he had already committed to other events, albeit, non official.

Statist libs are all about parsing, nuance...it's how they rule their lives. Lives in shades of gray, where nothing is certain, black, or white. Truth for them is a hard pill to swallow.Look, I am not going to argue dueling links which all seem to back each other up in that he was invited , as to an invite to attend the event, the links make their own delineation(s) as to an invite, spectator role and speaking etc...*shrugs*

If Senator Scott was interested in participating, his Senate staff would have made the arrangements. United States Senators have highly competent, top-notch staffs. Don't try to tell me that this crept up on him.
It's already been shown that everyone in Congress was invited. He turned that down. If he felt that he deserved special consideration because he's Black (a weird thing for a Republican to argue), then he could have voiced that concern. He did not. His staff did not.

from a party that celebrates every single democratic black, woman, gay, hispanic etc etc etc who attains any kind of status?

you're going to play that card? seriously?
he should not have had to ask, everyone from la raza to the NEA president to the first black DC dog catcher got a slot

How many Congressmen, Black or Otherwise, were invited to speak?

I am CERTAIN, that if I invited someone to an event and they sent regrets, stating they were going to be out of state at that time, I would NOT waste my time then asking them to speak at that event. I know they cannot make it..........so...how is that parsing?
