Boy, the Republican Establishment really knows how to vet their candidates, don't they?

So what?

Is there not a Congressional Black Caucus? What would a list of their speakers and contacts show?

I’m sick of this s***.

Just because the SPLC says they are a "hate group", does not make them a hate group.

That said, very poor judgement for a #3.

This would be a wonderful time for FOX to mention Grand Dragon Robert Byrd.

The timing of this story is suspect. It’s almost as if it was kept quiet by opponents to put him in place and then humiliate him with the story. Even if this is no big deal, why did it not come up during his election?

But Obama inviting racist and community agitator, tax fraudster Sharpton many times to the White Hut is to be lauded.

So what? Obama has invited Sharpton to the White House numerous times, and MSNBC gave Sharpton his own TV show.

I’ve ran for state rep before. If somebody puts 10 people in the same room and invites you, you go.

Showing up and speaking to people isn’t an endorsement of their beliefs...unless you’re the type of person who says anything to get elected.

Believe me, you have to be willing to turn down votes while pressing the flesh, “I’m sorry to disagree with you, but I support coal (Israel, etc.).

I’m sure this isn’t a non-story: they will make hay. But. It’s a non-issue. Candidates in local races have to meet as many people as they can. That’s the process.

Same old rat behavior. Wasn’t John Ashcroft faulted for writing an article for some supposed southern hate magazine.

I guess the difference is that when Dims do it, their folks gather round to defend them no matter how much evidence of malfeasance - when Repubs do it, their side of the aisle automatically condemns them even with lack of any evidence of malfeasance; just the charge is enough.

Net sum gain for the Dims when we knee-jerk.

You have to ask, “What was he doing speaking to half the Democrat Party?” Sponsored by the same party that was heart and soul of the KKK. My what a mistake. He was trying to recruit some people to the Republican side.
