What's The Message The Republican Party Is Sending By NOT Attending The Selma 50 Year Anniversary?

[martybegan]

Bush

Was it political? If so, what gain does it give them and why? Do you agree w/them not attending? Would you have done the same in their position? Lastly, do you think what they've done improves race relations w/the black community? Why/why not?

I'd like to hear particularly from the conservatives, Republican and rightwingers of the board.

Bush was there!!

Is George W. Bush, the Republican Party?

Why don't you simply answer the question?

Who, by your definition is "The Republican Party"

This thread is nothing more than a vain attempt toward legitimizing the racist attitudes of the left, regardless of the truth.

The Republican Party in general.

Not just 1 or two.

And until I see some documentation that the two were sent as "representatives" I don't buy it.

So will you answer the question in the OP please?

Still not enough information. Who was invited? Who ran it? Why doesn't an Ex-president count?

SNIP:
What Happened to Obama’s Moral Authority?
He wouldn’t understand the question.

By William Murchison – 3.10.15

One vast, towering reason for Barack Obama’s victory over John McCain in 2008 was the widespread expectation that an articulate and half-black chief executive would help the country overcome at long last its racial anxieties.

He’d speak about race with far-seeing eye and reasonable demeanor. He’d see all sides of the matter. He’d guide with confidence — as he sought to do in Selma the other day, reminding Americans that “the march is not yet over; we know the race is not yet won. We know reaching that blessed destination where we are judged by the content of our character requires admitting as much.” Etc. — words and more words, glistening for a minute or two in the sunlight, then just lying there.

So it goes.

No recent president has so frittered away the presidency’s moral authority — on race, on foreign affairs, on democracy, you name it — as has Barack Obama.

No recent president has rendered himself so unlistenable, so omittable from adult discussion aimed at the resolution of genuine problems.

This is not to say our 45th president has no credibility on anything. It’s to say he preserves these days possibly one-tenth of the credibility the media and his followers happily assigned him in advance of his ascent to the presidency, when the wonderfulness of the Obama intellect was a general theme of campaign coverage.

You can’t be sure when to take Barack Obama seriously, howsoever seriously his brow appears to knit with concern on significant occasions. It’s the legacy of the “red line” on Syrian chemical weapons, which turned out, on closer inspection, to be indistinguishable from the dust around it. It’s the legacy of you-can-keep-your-health-insurance-if-you-like-it.

It’s the legacy of the president’s non-stop lectures about Republican refusal to negotiate with a White House that scorns (and regularly shows that it scorns) the whole idea of giving away anything it wants. It’s the legacy, more recently, of the Keystone pipeline bill on premises that flatly contradict fact — e.g., the assertion that Keystone is all about using the United States as a transit point for Canadian oil, when, in fact, an estimated 70 percent of the oil would be refined for U.S. consumption.

There’s a pattern here: The president, with eyes turned toward his ramshackle constituency of feminist leaders, African-American spokesmen, “green” billionaires and voters who believe — falsely — that Wall Street runs the American show, coaxes and caters and coddles. Non-members of the coalition — conservatives, for instance — could be attending a Mongolian mahjong tournament for any attention their arguments receive from our great Reconciler in Chief. And so pass numerous moments for the adult conversation so many voters in 2008 thought would succeed the rhetorical flummery (as they saw it) that issued from George W. Bush’s mouth.

Barack Obama must be laden with serious thoughts of one kind and another. You just can’t tell which thoughts, the way he whips up rhetorical ice cream sundaes for the Obama hard core.

He’s preaching, at Selma, to our minds and hearts and souls? He’s working to assuage passions? To reconcile the keepers of order — policemen — with those for whom their brotherhood keeps order? He aims at reconciliation and respect? Liberty and justice and human dignity?

all of it here:

I picked the last choice because pretty much everyone knows that Republicorp & their slavish supporters are 94%+ white. Look at their last convention and its obvious who they represent: Panoramic 2012 Republican National Convention

You expected every congressperson to show up? did every democratic congressperson show up? Did 25%? Did 50%

Also his wife was there, and she is a former first lady, and probably a Republican as well.

And it turns out a few others were there as well.

Fact Check Were There Really No GOP Leaders at the 50th Anniversary Event in Selma Ben Swann Truth In Media

NBC News correspondent Maria Shriver fired out a tweet from the March 7 Selma, AL commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, a turning point in the civil rights movement, and accused GOP leaders of skipping the event, despite the fact that the list of Republicans in attendance included congressmen, senators, the House Majority Leader, and the chairman of the Republican National Committee.
