GOP Leaders Choose Fundraisers Over Black Voter Forum

"GOP ditches black voters' forum for fundraisers."
Ahhh duh. Is this news to anyone? The GOP hasn't been interested in black issues since Abraham Lincoln was President.

Hmmm. Line up to be a punching bag or line up for checks. Tough choice.

This just gives more credence to the fact that many Republicans are bigoted, racist haters. Their party is firmly identified as such.

Well i now see why the Black Unemployment rate is so high when it comes to the BLACK MAN in AMERICA!And why their was a need for 12-20 million invited guess workers to come to america for jobs that AFFIRMTIVE ACTION Was being used to diplace WHITE WORKERS.The new NAZI PARTY OF AMERICA CAN'T HIDE ANY MORE.

Strange photograph, HuffPo.

Factually, even with my Republican background and commitment to Christian values, give me someone who is not shy to teach tolerance about gays as opposed to accepting people trying to win my vote all the while snubbing minorities. This skipping a minority event is not new for these Republicans. Remember the Spanish TV debate? In terms of values, dissing minorities is very high on lists of behavior to avoid. Anti Christian entirely. Just political sense would have told Romney he needs to be there with the history of how his church has treated Blacks.

Isn't this a darling photo. Look at those smiles. God help us all.

...And yet not one GOP showed up for the Logo sponsored debate for the GLBT community. The GOP certainly looks like a group of self-serving bigots. Can anyone prove that they are not?

They made the decision not to go before O'Reilly ate at Sylvia's and found it the same as White restaurants. If they had heard O'Reilly BEFORE they refused to attend the event, they would have gone. But they thought the questions would include alot of "m-----f-----s" and the audience would be begging while a huge woman would drive into the debate with the latest Cadillac, pushing for a higher welfare allowance. O'Reilly should have gone to Sylvia's a couple of months ago.

They all make me sick. I especially loathe Rudy G. I am a NYC resident. I was one at the time of 9/11. He is a gross pig. I can't believe he allowed Fund Raisers to name a money making event 9/11.
Who can forget his words during the republican Convention, "As we were being attacked, the first thing I thought was THANK GOD GEORGE BUSH IS OUR PRESIDENT" Yah, sure pal. People were throwing themselves out of buildings to avoid being burned to death. He probably thought "Get me outta here" he was a rotten mayor before 9/11 and remained one after 9/11.

It would take German artist George Grosz and his grotesques of Weimar decadence to do justice to the faces of these gangsters.

Republicans
no whigger left behind

Rudy is a self serving low life...

I guess Rudy was too busy with his $9.11 fundraiser to show.

He obviously cares about engaging in serious debate with people of color . . . much the same way he would NEVER exploit a national tragedy for personal benefit or political gain.

Hmmm... The choices are:

1) Go to fund raisers to bolster my war chest.

2) Go pander to people that vote for Dems no matter what I say.

Sounds to me that they made the right choice.
