Racists Melt Down Over Steve Scalise

Emily Shire
12/30/14

White supremacists online whine that the Republican leader addressing one of their groups is no different than talking to the NAACP.

The scandal swirling around Steve Scalise’s address to white supremacists has white supremacists crying foul.

Steve Scalise, newly elected as Republican majority whip, admitted to addressing the European-American Unity and Rights Organization conference in 2002 when he was a Louisiana lawmaker. (EURO was founded by David Duke, the ex-Klansman who ran for Louisiana governor in 1991.) Scalise says he didn’t know they were a white supremacist group and equated addressing them with “liberal” groups like the League of Women voters.

Stormfront.org, the leading white-hate site on the Internet, agrees with Scalise’s defense. Stormfront founder and former KKK leader Don Black wrote he can’t stand the “absolute hypocrisy of the anti-White establishment.”

“Politicians grovel before African-American, Latino and Jewish groups, which openly promote their racial interests,” Black complained, “but they are conditioned to run like scared rabbits at the very idea European-Americans have rights.”

The GOP didn't already know about this before they voted for this POS. I guess just like Scalise didn't know who he was speaking to in 2002.

Does the GOP have any members that aren't White Supremacists of their ever-loving supporters?
Is Rand Paul quaking in his boots? Is Scalise just a warm up for tearing White Supremacist Rand Paul down?

The Republican Party’s response to revelations that Republican House Majority Whip Steve Scalise addressed a Ku Klux Klan group in 2002, has been to qualify them and show support for Scalise. This is gobsmackingly tone-deaf, even for the GOP.

-snip-

House Speaker John Boehner said,

“More than a decade ago, Representative Scalise made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate,” Mr. Boehner said. “Like many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, I know Steve to be a man of high integrity and good character. He has my full confidence as our whip, and he will continue to do great and important work for all Americans.”

Looney Iowa Tea Party Rep Steve King compared Scalise to Jesus Christ Himself, arguing,

“Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners.”

And you didn't need a computer to figure it out.

The NOFEAR trademark scuffle and the renaming to EURO was a prominent local issue. Anyone who picked up a newspaper or watched the local news knew.

The added bonus is that Duke lived in his district.

And while Scalise has the IQ of Rick Perry, knowing that EURO was a racist outfit was obvious even to someone with the intelligence of a rock.

He's one of the faces of the GOP and anti-semites and racists are crawling out of their rat holes to support him. If they replace him, they'll just put another racist in there who was less reckless in his associations.

“Politicians grovel before African-American, Latino and Jewish groups, which openly promote their racial interests,” Black complained, “but they are conditioned to run like scared rabbits at the very idea European-Americans have rights.”

aren't many Jews white/Euro-American also, or am I nuts?
I also think it is ironic that the last name of Stormfront's founder is "Black".
