It’s actually much worse in Obama’s case than in Scalise’s.

Scalise can say he just showed up, gave his speech, and left, and never heard what the rest of the people there were talking about. Obama stuck around for years, lapping it up.

How do you announce your political career in a known killer terrorists living room?

Nope,
Scalise was the snake who did Boneheads dirty work and pushed out the conservative reps left over from
Hastert .

He is the snake.
Good riddance !

If you prefer innuendo please yourself.

There is plenty hard news about what happened to Boehner’s mini-amnesty. Scalise turned it into an enforcement bill.

I lived in this guys district before.
He is a Bonehead henchman and very anti Tea party .

He is part of the Bonehead Chamber of Crony capitalist crowd.

He would not be in leadership otherwise under Bonehead and McCarthy .

So who are you trying to kid here ?

“We need to have a Speaker race.”

To my mind this is a sure sign we do have one: this story removes Scalise as a compromise choice to replace Boehner.
I hope Boehner has gone too far.

I think it would be rather easy to show up at some of these events and not know who all the speakers are. I’ve shown up at plenty to have ten or fifteen people address the crowd. I know only a few names going in.

Not like us on the right ever sat there and kept our tongues shut on Byrd.

That is why I said not many of us would ever let up on some POS like Sharpton, and not Byrd either. He was also a POS. The Media may forgive these POSs, but not most of us. But then again, here is another angle. The Media may say that a$$ hats like Sharpton never need forgiveness, because blacks can't be racists, only whites can be racists.

Heck, he doesn’t even have to forsake it. They’ve already forgiven him!

Correct, or they will say he does not need any forgiveness.

If he had instead spoken to a meeting of black nationalists, that would have been fine.

Or maybe if he had attended a meeting of socialists who were about to decide that some US Senators needed to be assassinated, that would be a further qualification for office.

Scalise was originally a strong conservative. He, however, voted with Cassidy and Landrieu, for Obama’s “executive” amnesty in December.

How do you sit in a racist church every Sunday for twenty years and meet with the Pasture personally and never hear anything he said?

“He had to leave Louisiana because he didn’t like its politicians? That’s taking political obsessions too far.”

It just looks like Erick Erickson parading some Politically Correct sensitivity for his pals to admire.

This sort of posturing is a big deal among ‘center-right’ media figures. While making a career out of being Establishment Conservatives they have the constant need to demonstrate to their liberal buddies that they aren’t nasty bigots like, you know, conservatives.

The budget bill that Scalise, Cassidy, Landrieu, and Boustany supported had all that Obama wanted in it.
