Steve's true colors.

I am told there are still some African-Americans who are leaning to the right, believing that Republicans are good at heart. Then those persons might want to know that House majority whip, Rep. Steve Scalise (R. La.) once spoke at a conference hosted by the white supremacist group European-American Unity and Rights Organization. (He also twice voted against making Martin Luther King Day a holiday in Louisiana.) Of course he now pleads ignorance about the event. But he is not being censored by his fellow Republicans, many of whom share his opinions on purity. Update: Apparently most Republicans, notably John Boehner, are standing by Scalise, maintaining that he didn't know the group was racist. They seem to feel that Scalise is not a bigot, just incredibly stupid.
