After Bill O'Reilly lied on his Fox News show that no conservatives or members of the GOP were asked to speak at the 50th Anniversary of the "I have a dream" speech, several places reported that the organizers had asked all 50 governors, and all sitting members of Congress were asked to speak. But then, the RNC (Tea Party National Committee), in an attempt to put the blame back on the event organizers, said that they gave the organizers at least 3 names that they could call and try to get to speak. The 3 names that were given were Senator Tim Scott, former Representative J.C. Watts, and Oklahoma Speaker of the House T.W. Shannon. Wait, aren't they all black? Well, yes. Okay, but RNC, are you saying that only black Americans can speak on injustices and poverty? If that's true, then you must believe that former Presidents Clinton and Carter had no right to speak. Or, for that matter, any of the many white speakers who were there and gave speeches.
Bill O'Reilly got on Fox News and lied about the speakers at the 50th Anniversary of the "I have a dream" speech, and the RNC, in an attempt to put blame on organizers, showed themselves to be small minded and biased. The sad part of that is, it was all just a normal day for these two.
