PEARL, Miss. -- They're not exactly rooting for him, but prominent white supremacists anticipate a boost to their cause if Barack Obama becomes the first black president.
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, of Louisiana, said Democrat Obama would be a "visual aid" to the idea that whites have lost control of America.

Don’t know much about the Klan, not even sure if we have anything like that up here, are they lefties?
Yeah, but where can I get my hands on some tat?
Historically they were originally the armed wing of the Democratic Party. They made their bones murdering Republicans in the south.
They have always been Democrats. “One” tried to run in recent years as a Repub and was hounded out by other Repubs. Traditionally they were always Democrats.
Democrat senator Byrd was a Klan recruiter back in his younger days.
They were founded by the dimocRATS to counter the advancement of blacks under Republican administrations in the South.
Now that is interesting. It’s funny that the prevailing myth up here is that Klan people are right wing extremists. Obviously not the case.
That was simply breathtakingly stupid, but Jennings and the media gave him a pass on it. He should have had his fat nose rubbed in his own stupidity. He heard the question was about the Federal Reserve.JENNINGS: Reverend Sharpton, I'd like to ask you a question about domestic policy, if you don't mind. If during your term as president, if you become the nominee, and you have the opportunity to nominate someone to be chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, what kind of person would you consider for the job? You can name someone in particular, if you have someone in mind. And maybe just take a minute or so to give us a little bit about your views on monetary policy. SHARPTON: Well, first of all, let me say this. I wanted to say to Governor Dean, don't be hard on yourself about hooting and hollering. If I had spent the money you did and got 18 percent, I'd still be in Iowa hooting and hollering. (LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE) SHARPTON: So, don't worry about it, Howard. (LAUGHTER) DEAN: Thanks, Reverend. SHARPTON: I think, first of all, we must have a person at the Monetary Fund that is concerned about growth of all, not setting standards that would, in my judgment, protect some and not elevate those that cannot, in my view, expand and come to the levels of development and the levels of where we need to be. I think part of my problem with how we're operating at this point is that the IMF and the policies that are emanating there do not lead to the expansion that is necessary for our country and our global village to rise to levels that underdeveloped countries and those businesses in this country can have the development policies necessary. JENNINGS: Forgive me, Reverend Sharpton, but the question was actually about the Federal Reserve Board. SHARPTON: I thought you said IMF, I'm sorry. JENNINGS: No, I'm sorry, sir. And what you'd be looking for in a chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. SHARPTON: Oh, in the Federal Reserve Board, I would be looking for someone that would set standards in this country, in terms of our banking, our — in how government regulates the Federal Reserve as we see it under Greenspan, that we would not be protecting the big businesses; we would not be protecting banking interests in a way that would not, in my judgment, lead toward mass employment, mass development and mass production. I think that — would I replace Greenspan, probably. Do I have a name? No. HUME: Thank you, Reverend Sharpton. Thanks very much. We've got to take a brief break here, but we will be back with more questions for the seven Democratic candidates. Stay tuned. (COMMERCIAL BREAK)
Good points. The black and latino gangs have made wastelands out of big parts of many cities. But we’re not supposed to think about that, at least not in racial/ethnic terms, according to the politically correct crowd. Instead we’re told that there’s a lack of opportunity in cities, which creates fertile ground for gangs. And then the problem gets blamed on Bush and Repbulicans and capitalism passing by inner city areas.
Yes, the gangs of America are a bigger threat to all of us than the shrinking white supremacist groups.
The Democratic Party is more complicated than most people realize. And the whole left/right paradigm is not as useful a tool as people think.
Just remember. The Democratic Party was the party that backed slavery, and Jim Crow race repression right up into the modern era. They were the lynch mobs, and the guys with the firehoses going after the blacks; they were the klan night-riders burning down churches and killing people right up into the modern era.
The Repubs were born as the abolition party, and opposed Jim Crow all during the bad old days. During most of history, they were the only party that would accept black membership, which is why the klan was necessary to repress black political activity. The Repubs were the ones who finally broke down the door on Jim Crow; it was the Democratic Party that finally changed their position on the subject.
They’ve tried to re-write history since then. You can’t blame them.
Agreed.
Tried?
They've succeeded.

David Duke is certainly a nut job, but he has done nothing to my knowledge worthy of lynching or incarceration. Fortunately, America permits individuals to have all sorts of beliefs, even beliefs we might abhor.
A nation that will incarcerate or lynch Duke for his beliefs, may soon come after you.
I was actually thinking about how he went to Iran, an enemy country and gave them aid and comfort during their holocaust denial fest. I want to also add that I read awhile back that he and Rich Butler made some pro terrorist remarks during 9/11.
And some racist do like someone because of their color. Is it any surprise that The One gets over 90% of the black vote?
Please.
Read how minority friendly the Indiana republicans were in the 1920s.
Wow, that really does look like David Duke and his protégés doesn’t it?
“Read how minority friendly the Indiana republicans were in the 1920s.”
While you’re at it read on how minority friendly the Alabama Democrats were in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
You know - “Segregation Today, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever!” and a governor standing in the door at the University of Alabama to prevent black students from attending.
All racists at their heart, are all collectivists. They often try to cozy up to the right because they are pro-second amendment, but they very much are leftists in that they are anti-individualist (instead, labeling everyone and limiting people based on labels) and collectivist (redistributing assets based on race).
