Conservatives complaining that the March on Washington anniversary celebration seems awfully partisan should note that they have only themselves to blame.

Speaker John A. Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the House’s two most senior Republicans, were invited to speak at the 50th anniversary of the historic March on Washington — but declined. […]

“They asked a long list of Republicans to come,” [civil rights activist Julian Bond] continued, “and to a man and woman they said ‘no.’ And that they would turn their backs on this event was telling of them, and the fact that they seem to want to get black votes, they’re not gonna get ‘em this way.”

1. To Be A Republican Is To Be A Cracker.

2. Listening to NPR's coverage. They decried the Dem dominance w/o mentioning this AT ALL.

3. Of course not.

When the good guys abolished slavery, the bad guys had to get up off their lazy white asses and put in an honest day's work for a change.

No way they are going to honor Dr. King and his legacy...

4. Not the least bit surprised

They believe in the New Jim Crow and Slavery By Any Other Name. Of course they aren't going to admit that black Americans were once chattel and then were terrorized for 100 years. Of course not . . .
