Event organizers said Wednesday that they invited top Republicans, all of whom declined to attend because of scheduling conflicts or ill health.

...

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush also declined an invitation

This POTUS is supposed to be a uniter and has done nothing but divide.

The only dividing going on is being done by you racist nut-jobs.

[me]

So then you're saying Senator Scott lied about not being invited? 

[Exterminator]

I'm saying that Senator Scott could organize his own observation if he gave a crap.  You neocons just want to whine like little cry-babies.

[Exterminator]

The truth.

[me]

The truth.

Oh ya, pull out Mr. Hate monger himself.  Chris Mathews is an idiot.

So then you're saying Senator Scott lied about not being invited?

You just proved that you have the reading skills and comprehension of a walnut.

Well, if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black!

Isn't that just a tad racist?  He is the first black senator from S C ya know.  Of course that would have taken away from our "special" POTUS and we can't have that now can we. 

[Exterminator]

Are you suggesting that he should have been invited simply because he is black or that every black politician should have been invited?

[me]

You just proved that you have the reading skills and comprehension of a walnut.

I did?  Show me where that indicates he was invited.  I think it is you who had better be sharpening up on your reading skills.  And if you're referring to the fact that others were but declined I'm saying this man above all others should have been invited.  He had more business being there than those "stars".  His accomplishment was every bit as big as Obama's and much more meaningful to the day and the ceremony than those "stars".  But then he wouldn't have been looking at the POTUS with moony eyes and gettin that warm tingly down his leg every time the POTUS looked his way.   

Ya know, I've heard nothing but good about today's speech, with 2 or 3 exceptions directed at speakers who were pot stirrers, but why were Republicans omitted from the list of speakers.  Yes, Bush was sent an invite but they knew he was recovering from surgery and wouldn't be able to make it.  I think this particular person should have been invited if no other Republican was and if you bother to read the article to the end you will see why.

Sen. Tim Scott wasn't invited to event commemorating MLK march on Washington

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., did not get an invite to the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of...
Sen. Tim Scott, R.-S.C., the only African American serving in the United States Senate, wasn't invited to the event commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's march on Washington, though a host of Democratic luminaries spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

"Senator Scott was not invited to speak at the event," Greg Blair, a spokesman for the South Carolina lawmaker, said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "The senator believes today is a day to remember the extraordinary accomplishments and sacrifices of Dr. King, Congressman John Lewis, and an entire generation of black leaders. Today's anniversary should simply serve as an opportunity to reflect upon how their actions moved our country forward in a remarkable way."

The event organizers didn't completely exclude Republicans from the event — former President George W. Bush, for instance, received an invitation, but he couldn't attend as he is recovering from surgery — but the slate of speakers was filled with names such as former President Clinton, Gov. Martin O'Malley, D-Md., Oprah Winfrey, Jamie Foxx and others.

President Obama was the keynote speaker of the event, of course, which is held in honor of the achievements of Dr. King and other civil rights leaders. Wouldn't it have made sense to have the first black president joined by the first black senator from South Carolina, which was a Jim Crow state when the original march on Washington took place?

The Washington Examiner contacted MLK Dream 50 to ask why Scott wasn't invited, but didn't hear back in time for publication.

His accomplishment is the same as the POTUS and should have been honored is what I'm saying.  Not just one thing King helped bring about but two.  The first black POTUS and the first black Senator in a Jim Crow state.

No, it isn't and the day wasn't about honoring him or Obama.

Again you offfer up your stupidity, only this time even smaller than a walnut ... I never indicated he was invited. I was responding to your "question" - "why were Republicans omitted from the list of speakers.  "

but why were Republicans omitted from the list of speakers. 

I merely pointed that your STATEMENT (which you will claim is just a question, but we know better) was a lie. Top republicans WERE INVITED, including John Boehner and Jeb Bush.
