    Why are you selectively deleting my words to twist the message? It was maybe TJ and basso that started the balack trend however you are a major participant in the racial game playing on Obama. Are you denying you have called him lazy, Hussein, and harped on his race over and over again? Give ME a break.

    You're on a trolling mission today.

    Glad you admit that I never called him balack.

    I used his middle name -- OH NOES

    All you're doing to stifling the dialogue on race.

    Bigotexxx, it's plainly evident you've been on a campaign to disparage Obama based on his race and ethnic heritage but how many times did you refer to Mitt Romney by his first name? Willard Mitt Romney is his name. How many times did you call him Willard? OH NOES

    You can play stupid if you like but everyone understands your use of Hussein and Ubama and Ba'raq and certainly the use of Balack by your ideological buddies Trader Jorge and basso. Everyone understands it, we all get it. He's black and he's different. OH NOES.

    I posted MLK quotes on Republican Barry Goldwater which shows his genius and prophetic vision of conservative policy and I also posted a very good article on MLK's support for something like affirmative action. You ignored those completely to continue disavowing your own behavior which is here in black and white. OH NOES.

    Yawn. Not compelling. You're doing nothing but trolling. If you can't tackle the topic at hand, then don't embarrass yourself by the personal attacks and vendettas against others. You've ruined this thread, but I suspect that was your intention all along.

    But I do accept your apology for lying about the fact that I called Barack "balack", which I never did. I'll be the bigger man and accept your apology.

    This is pretty telling.

    Why were no Republicans at the March on Washington rally?
    http://news.yahoo.com/why-were-no-republicans-march-washington-rally-175300783.html

    President Obama spoke at Wednesday's rally commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. So, too, did former Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, as well as civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga).

    Notice a pattern? Yes, all of those politicians are Democrats. In fact, not a single one of the day's speakers was an elected Republican official.

    Event organizers said they invited a number of prominent Republicans, but none accepted, citing prior scheduling conflicts or ill health. Former President George W. Bush, for instance, is still recovering from heart surgery and could not attend.

    Aides to congressional GOPers told the Washington Post that the invitations came too late for them to attend. Still, the lack of a GOP presence struck many as very odd, since the success of the civil rights movement should have been celebrated by both major parties. Also, the no-show goes against the GOP's major rebranding effort, which is, in part, aimed at attracting minority voters.

    "It's part of a continuing narrative that the party finds itself in with these big deals for minority communities around the country and how they perceive our response to them," former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said.

    Though no elected Republicans attended Wednesday's rally, the GOP did hold its own event earlier in the week commemorating the March on Washington.

    A spokesman for Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who is the only black senator in Congress, claimed Wednesday that Scott had not been invited to speak at the event. That sparked accusations in conservative corners that organizers had deliberately barred Republicans from attending.

    As it turns out, organizers did invite Scott, but the senator declined, citing a prior engagement. A source from the event told Roll Call that the speaker list "was created based on those who were able to confirm availability to attend the event." Since Scott said he was unable to even attend, they assumed he would be unable to speak either.

    Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) also turned down invites.

    As for the GOP leadership team, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) was in Wyoming, but had no public events scheduled for the day, according to the Washington Post. He has been headlining fundraisers all month with Congress on vacation.

    Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) was visiting energy sites in North Dakota with representatives from the North Dakota Petroleum Council. The group, as Alex Seitz-Wald at The Washington Post pointed out, is a registered lobbying outfit representing North Dakota's oil and gas industries.

    A spokesman for Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told ABC the senator was not invited.

    Nice diversion from the mountain of evidence against you. You failed to respond to evidence posted against you, selectively deleting my words, and now you're railing about about my manhood and vendettas. Wha?

    I'm going to be the bigger man and accept that you're unrepentant about your persistent race baiting. It's telling that you continue to ignore the evidence posted against you time and time again. I can only take your deflection as a tacit admission of guilt to the charges and that you're not "man enough" to apologize and change your shameless behavior. I look forward to your next racial episode followed by your denial of it shortly thereafter.

    I'm the one diverting? You jumped into the thread with one purpose -- to insult me. You clearly were the one diverting. And now you've ruined this thread, which of course was your objective all along. You're not in favor of having a dialogue on race. Quite the opposite.

    Republicans should have probably been contacted to help jointly organize the rally in the first place. This may help non-black liberals notch their scorecard against the other team, but blacks in general need to understand that white conservatives will always dwarf us economically and politically; and alienating or ostracizing them when commemorating the most bi-partisan moment of the entire Civil Rights movement will only give them license to trivialize and ultimately attack every other aspect of black enfranchisement. The current and coming generations of conservative, Republican or upper-middle class whites have no tangible, sweeping socio-economic racial sins to atone for through legislative, judicial or constitutional compromise; that they are no less wealthy, empowered or numerous than their chastened predecessors means blacks will have to re-earn their attention and empathy just to maintain the gains of the last half century.

    You seem to be blaming the lack of Republican participation on the organizers of the rally when from the article it clearly says that Republicans were given the opportunity to participate but declined.

    This isn't about non-black liberals notching there belt but Republicans choosing for various reasons to not participate.

    Yes, I'd compare it to Bush continually refusing to speak at the NAACP.

    My assertion was that Republicans or even the RNC should have been contacted to help plan the event from the start, rather than as non-speaking guests at an event that, without their participation, could have morphed into a Democratic or liberal partisan rally; and would have trivialized individual Republican officials' attendance. That and the predictable retroactive insinuation of their racial insensitivity were the targets of my criticism.

    Why didnt Republicans plan the event? Why didn't the RNC at any time, oh in the last thirty years, become a part of it?

    If you reread the article it doesn't say that Republicans were only invited as non-speaking guests. It says that Tim Scott didn't confirm he could attend so he wasn't put on the speakers list.
