Sen. Tim Scott, R.-S.C., the only African American serving in the United States Senate, wasn't invited to the event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's march on Washington, though a host of Democratic luminaries spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.“Senator Scott was not invited to speak at the event,” Greg Blair, a spokesman for the South Carolina lawmaker, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “The senator believes today is a day to remember the extraordinary accomplishments and sacrifices of Dr. King, Congressman John Lewis, and an entire generation of black leaders. Today’s anniversary should simply serve as an opportunity to reflect upon how their actions moved our country forward in a remarkable way.”
Sen. Tim Scott wasn So why wasn't the only Black Senator invited to the biggest Black event of the year?[/FONT][/COLOR]
I think this event has been hijacked by Socialist Liberals and Tim Scott wasn't invited because he doesn't embrace that bulls***.I think some are judging men and the event by the color of one's skin rather than the content of their heart.
Off-putting to the nature of Black Marxism. This event has nothing to do with Martin Luther King's message.I see Senator Tim Scott politics and rather harsh dogma as rather off-putting to the nature of the gathering.

He wasn't their kind of people I suppose...
Politically you are KEYrect. Then again few who were heartily endorsed by the Tea Party this last election cycle were invited to speak.
Words, deeds, actions count here, not mere skin color.
Then again, did Louis Farrakhan speak?eace
Ahh, Calypso Louie... I miss that firebrand...
I don't miss him at all, but you do get the point...... don't you?
i got the point alright, but let me ask you this -- Would our country have been better served with a bi-partisan celebration in the spirit of racial harmony or what we got, the turning of race into a political issue pitting those all inclusive, sympathizers of minority struggles Democrats versus them damned cold hearted, cold blooded, angry White Republican Devils?

You left out 'old' and 'dying off' in the silly vilification of Cons... :roll:
It would be GREAT for a bipartisan celebration, but sadly it seems like the Cons are not interested in a meeting of the minds, but rather a demigoading of the issues.
Look at the posters 'upset' over Sen Scott not being invited to speak- each used the race card- an act they deplore (when convenient).
MLK's message was content of heart over color of skin and yet for these Cons the issue was the skin color of a Tea Party favorite's political heart.
THAT was my point, these cons focus on skin color over message.... I'd opine some on the radical right are not interested in bi-partisanship and as long as they put skin color before heart I don't feel anyone should shift closer toward them.
The term is 'meet in the middle' not everyone run to one side of the boat- that is how the ship of state capsizes...eace
I bet you really see it that way, don't ya? I will say this, the GOP has made plenty of mistakes, and you can't blame them for what a handful of whackadoodles might crayon on a posterboard but to characterize them as you have giving the impression that the Dems are the fair minded ones, I'm sorry...That's just disingenuous.
The Black David Duke.Ahh, Calypso Louie... I miss that firebrand...
Oh, I'm sure there were plenty of bigots who opposed MLK. So what's your point?I am old. I remember the Speech in 'real time'. Back in the day MLK was called everything but white- he was a commie, an anarchist, a race baiter, and a criminal agitator.
I see we have a two minute expert in our midst.Your rhetoric would fit right in. Though I have to laugh that you divide the Marxism by race... you are having trouble seeing past skin color?

I'm talking about his message in general. I hate marches of any kind. They make me nervous.66% of the country opposed King in 1963. Even JFK didnt want the march.

His message was judging and being judged based on the content of character, not skin tone. The fact that I was a white male, under 40 yrs old, and a local law firm wouldn't touch me when I inquired about pressing charges for discrimination, tells me that we've gotten nowhere since 1963. The fact that I had the misfortune of having standing in line while waiting to file a Medicaid claim and my wife and I were serenaded by a black man singing ditties about how HIS president is black, told me that we've gotten nowhere since 1963. The fact that every black liberal I'm aware of found George Zimmerman guilty BEFORE he was found innocent, tells me we've gotten nowhere since 1963.What was his message and how does it relate to today.

These fools from last night have no idea what MLK was trying to achieve.
