As Rep. Steve Scalise story grows, sordid details emerge about dark underside of the white supremacy

"U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise’s claim that he did not know who he was talking to when he spoke to that meeting of the Workshop on Civil Rights hosted by the European-American Unity and Rights Conference (EURO) back in May of 2002 is falling apart like a cheap suit.

And so too, are the cover stories concocted by participants of that meeting who are trying to pull Scalise’s fat out of the fire.

And those stories, with their unlikely associations and bizarre twists, constitute some of the most sordid stories imaginable, complete with bombing plots, pornography, escort services, mailing lists and dozens of politicians who subsequently went into scramble mode.

Mark Twain once said, “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything” and because of conflicting memories, the cover ups appear to be spinning out of control.

*SNIP*

Tony Perkins tries to set himself up as a saint and I see who he is and how he thinks. There is some cruel and vicious events, will probably see more action now that names are falling.

Nothing sweeter than when the real digging begins. Can't wait for the 'birther' connections - keep 'em coming.
