10. Actually, the only black GOP Senator says he was NOT invited

Havent seen anything to dispute that, but who knows. If he wasn't, then that doesn't look very good.

22. Well he was invited. the Black gop senator lies. Surprised?

[jberryhill]

3. Plenty. It wasn't a buffet.

Those plates aren't going to walk themselves to the table, you know.

5. Good point.

23. Senator Tim Scott was invited and turned it down. Yeah, he lied and said he wasn't..

"Senator Tim Scott Turned Down Invitation to 50th Anniversary of MLK Event"

Tim Scott (R-SC), told Roll Call through a spokesperson that he had not been invited, but the paper reported, Thursday afternoon, that an email confirms that Sen. Scott’s office declined an invitation to the event earlier this month.

As it turns out, though, Scott wasn’t snubbed. Roll Call reports today:

“Thank you for extending to Senator Tim Scott the invitation to the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington on August 28th. Unfortunately, the Senator will be in South Carolina during this time, so he will be unable to attend the event. Please do, however, keep him in mind for future events you may be hosting.”

6. What better way is there to commemorate Rev. Martin Luther King Jr

than to have a private brainstorming session on how to prevent Black people from voting

7. Stupid is as stupid does.

[Evoman]

8. Betcha anything they will claim they were not allowed to speak

By democratic party. They are left out by mean old Barrack Obama.

9. They just keep digging themselves in deeper and deeper.

11. They didn't want to appear friendly with black people.

It might offend their base.

19. "Hey look, we just ...

...want your votes. We don't want to actually hang out with you, listen to you, or try to make government help make your world a better a place."

[RoccoR5955]

20. Yeah, many cited "scheduling problems."

Right, and the sky is paisley!

[Cha]

21. Unreal! I may have known they all were really

that stupid but it's still boggles my mind that they're such small, ignorant, crass, insipids.. who could come out of the 1930s Alabama.

Thanks EarlG

And be photographed with Barack Obama. End of story.

[SoapBox]

27. I'm sure it was because Boehner knew he'd start blubbering seeing that many Black voters at one site

[bayareaboy]

28. I'm kind of glad the...

Re-pugs didn't show up.

So there wasn't any jerks with AR-15s and no other wing-nuts, or tea party jerks, in the audience. Sounds like a good day for the people who realize what the day involves.
