Exactly what are your sources of news and info?

http://news.google.com/

http://news.yahoo.com/

covers pretty much everything from the major media outlets along with "local" media outlets from across the world.

I form my opinion on my own from what I see, hear, and read - not from what the talking heads on FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, or any of the other bullshit outlets say my opinion should be.

According to [Duke associate Kenny] Knight, the EURO conference was slated to start in the early afternoon, roughly around 1 p.m. But his reservation at the hotel gave him access to the conference space for a few hours before the event’s official kickoff. At the time, Knight headed the Jefferson Heights Civic Association, which was largely comprised of elderly people who lived in his and Scalise’s neighborhood.

Knight said he set up a morning event for his own civic association in the hotel space before the EURO conference started. Though that event was in the conference’s hospitality room, it wasn’t at all related to the EURO event, he said…

Knight estimates that about two-thirds to three-quarters of the people in the hospitality room at the civic association meeting were local residents who weren’t there to attend the EURO event, and about one-third to one-quarter were EURO convention attendees who arrived early and filtered into the hospitality room to drink coffee and kill time.

“I don’t think Congressman Scalise was aware that there was a small contingent of people who came and sat in the audience prior to the EURO meeting,” Knight said.

really.. well then, if the media is so under the conservative business influence, tell me.. why do we get weeks after week of reports about "Bridgegate".. what about all the whining about Scott Walker? Va Gov McDonnell was a hot topic for a while and they tried going after Rick Perry for a bit and now they are hot on this Scalise guy - YET we hear nothing about Sharpton who still owes more than $4 million in taxes, or Charlie Rangel and his shenanigans? .. What about that congressman in Louisiana were the feds found a hundred grand stuffed in his freezer? The John Edwards scandal that too wasn't a big deal. Hell some are still whining about Bush V Gore and even Iran-Contra..

Democrat politician embroiled in a scandal? Meh.. nothing to see here, *shrug*

Republican politician embroiled in a scandal? Day after day, week after week nonstop coverage, hand wringing and whining.

If we had a truly independent news media, they would go after each side with equal zeal and equal gusto.

Selective memory discards inconvenient facts, huh? Then dives head first into false equivalency & Denial.

Who owns the Media? Who runs it? Who's spent untold millions to influence it with various well financed thinktanks & institutes for the last 40 years?

Leftists? Only in your fevered fringe whack dreams.

I'm good with Scalise over this incident. He's a product of his culture & a standup guy this time around, probably one of the more enlightened of the bunch. I respect that.

The problem for conservatives is that this speaks volumes about the culture he represents & how far away it is from the picture they like to paint. The fact that he thought it would be OK to speak to that group at the time tells us that things are different in his neck of the woods.

Racism isn't dead. It's just less overt, still strong in some places where it's always been a way of life.

Obviously, Knight has no reason to lie, huh? I'm sure that all the members of his "civic association" left before the Euro conference started, right?

There's this, of course-

http://www.nola.com/politics/index....r_than_he_first_disclosed_documents_show.html

Scalise knows he has to pander to racist sentiment to survive, if only just a little. He just needs to use the code & pick better venues, that's all. His constituency demands it.

Facts?
Does Social Justice Warrior need facts before playing race card?

For more information on that, let's turn to noted White House Advisor and media person Al Sharpton.

LOL

Al found Atkins....

Lawanda wasn't his ticket.
Nor was Duke lacrosse.

heh.. I just gotta love the progressive mindset..

if something does not conform to their viewpoint, it is either a lie, fantasy, racist, or dismissed out of hand because they don't like the publishing source.

Or, damn it, you've been watching FAUX news again!

At least Fox will dare to call out all of Obama's follies. The reporters must require 24/7 body guard service.

Yeh, it's obviously more convenient to believe Knight than Scalise himself, because he tells you what you want to hear.

I linked Scalise's mea culpa earlier. Perhaps you should read it.

There is sure a lot of old stupid shit the democrats are digging up. How about doing some non partisan digging and DO be sure to include Hillary too. Include everyone, that way there is no apparent partisan hacking going on. How about hold EVERYONE to the same standard? For every knife thrown at a Republican, there are plenty of knives that can be thrown at Democrats. And don't act like there is any innocence in that party either. Plenty of shit to fling at members of either party. It's getting to be like a damn volley ball game.

I'm gonna say the same thing to you that is almost always said to me when I say the same thing.. "Oh look, another Fox News robot!"

How dare you even imply that there could possibly be something dirty going on with any Democrat.. Didn't ya know, their shit just doesn't stink! :biggrin:

Sometimes I do not know who is worse, the Tea Party morons or MSNBC Progressive idiots.

So fucking lame. Anybody can join the NAACP-

Anybody can join la Raza-

If I sign up for both, will you call me a race traitor?

There's a saying... justice is blind. Those groups have mission statements for one race, plain and simple, I don't care how progressive they are at letting others lend them a hand. Being smart doesn't change what it is at its core.

Here we have three groups for three races, and you stand by two of them. It'd be nice if you denounced all such groups. It'd be nice to have a future that moved past them and had us united for the advancement of all Americans.

You can see what happens when divisive groups play up the tension in Ferguson. Do you want more of that? Denounce them and help your fellow Americans move into the 21st century, together.

Every CBD thinks the same thing. You turn data into rationalizations and never notice. But the scientists have your number.

is that all you have? am I supposed to feel insulted by that?

I'm an equal opportunity offender, although.. it's not my fault the lefties here leave so much low-hanging fruit hanging out there, hard to resist sometimes.

Others have called me much worse, anything from tea-party-racist to bleeding-heart-i love you-loving-liberal and everything in between, so bring it on!

Progressivism is by far one of the minor concerns of Comcast. Their own Comcast centric culture is much more problematic and that was apparent back when it was just NBC. The huge shit involving Conan and Jay Leno but including just as much the NBC leadership was one of the prime examples of the cesspool that is NBC.

As anyone who associates with those groups should be. Only... the President has spoken for both NAACP and La Raza. Their very names for racist purpose. Not for the betterment of all people, but "their" people.

What is Steve Scalise guilty of, that the public accepts from EVERY OTHER person? If their white it's a racist group that is banned. If not, they're a "civil rights" group. That's a standard of racism that cannot be accepted.
I don't think you can compare the NAACP and La Raza. The former was and is dedicated to bringing blacks up to parity with whites after centuries of slavery and decades of Jim Crow segregation; the latter is pure racial superiority.

Progressivism is by far the majority concern at MSNBC, whatever its management woes.

Happy New Year Were!

I know absolutely nothing about La Raza. Could you tell us some more?

Under the euphuism 'Hispanic Homeland' and 'Nation of Aztlan,' activists from numerous organizations including Mexican American Legal Defense and La Raza (The Race) activists are attempting to annex large portions of SW United States to Mexico. "Republica del Norte," the Republic of the North, which would include the present U.S. states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, plus southern Colorado, along with several current Mexican states, is "an inevitability" says Charles Truxillo, professor, University of New Mexico. He further states the new "Hispanic Homeland" should be brought into being "by any means necessary."

... A 'Hispanic Homeland' could be written off as the work of extremists were it not for wide-spread support by Mexicans. A June 2002 Zogby poll of Mexicans found that a substantial majority of Mexican citizens believe that southwestern America is rightfully the territory of Mexico and that Mexicans do not need the permission of the U.S. to enter. The poll, a people search of appropriate persons, found that 58 percent of Mexicans agree with the statement, "The territory of the United States' southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico." Zogby said 28 percent disagreed, while another 14 percent said they weren't sure.
"we didn't cross the border the border crossed us" Youtube Video NSFW???

History isn't my discipline. But I think it might have something to do with the people that were originally living in what is now the SouthWestern US...

See also Aztlan... See also Reconquista....

Fact is many Mexicans were left in California and the Southwest after the US took over the area after the US-Mexican war. However Mexicans were actually only in the area for some mere centuries and the original inhabitants still exist in California and the Southwest even today and some like the Navajo are very large and probably very powerful politically. They are not going to just assimilate into any Mexican overlords.

How many people on this forum would or could lose their job if you were speaking there and it was obvious who you were and where you worked.

If it happened 12 years ago and long before I had my job? I would hope that wouldn't automatically cost a person employment for life, especially if they've had a change of heart.

If he had disavowed Duke and all he stands for in 2003 it would be ok.
