Scalise has already admitted he spoke in front of the group, but the latest excuse is that he didn't know they were a white supremacist group formed by David Duke. As excuses go, it's a pretty weak one. And VX, felons are disenfranchised long after their release. Some states have offices that are supposedly there to assist them in getting their voting rights back, but they're dysfunctional, underfunded, and few actually do get to become voters again. It's something that should concern people, perhaps even more than complaining about the inconvenience of getting a gun.
Read before you write.  It was Shadow who mentioned felons and the vote. Just as I don't know how gun registration got into this. It's about voting.  I guess in your case it's never let anything else get in the way of your rhetoric.

I don't even know much about Scalise and don't gives a rats @ss who he spoke to or didn't.  I read the first report that came out of Slate and then I read the back up piece that retracted the original.  He did NOT talk to a KKK group or a Duke group.  His speech was in the same building as the Duke bunch was scheduled but his speech was at an earlier time and he spoke with city or county or some officials about taxes of some sort.  He and his staff didn't remember the speech in question on that date and their bumbling attempts to explain it was part of the problem when the first article was published.  I still don't think either side handled this well.  But the second article from Slate did make an effort to correct its original premise.


And no, I'm not going to hunt through Slate's archives to give you links to this story.  You'll believe what you want to regardless of any proof shown you.  So why waste my time!
