[White Nationalist] == [anyone who criticizes Obama]
Bring out the long knives.
Obama went to racial hate rallies for twenty years where the leader screamed that whites invented AIDS to genocide blacks, saying god damn america, etc..
I hope this takes down all the Boehner cabal
Boehner’s out to replace Scalise with a less conservative choice.
Can hardly believe such a non-story gets pushed by the media.
I take it the NAALCP, La Raza, MEChA, and other racial groups are O.K., just so long as it’s not a group promoting the interests of crackers?
If any self respecting republican hears the name David Duke, they would be wise to start looking for an exit and put as much distance between themselves and Duke as possible.
The fact that David Duke is a Code Pink supporting Cindy Sheehan scumbag should be enough.
Not a Scalise fan but soetoro spoke at a number of racist, black events including hanging with screwy louie. ‘Course we know dems get a pass.
Did they chant G-D AmeriKKKa?
Not a very smart move for a republican politician. But really, I could care less who he spoke to. Actions are what I am interested in.
Some one call WET and have it put in their newscasts!
Sounds as if someone is trying to create a narrative.
Maybe somebody will accidentally commit journalism and answer some questions.
David Duke at times had one very skillful ability, to promote his agenda through reasonableness. He had the tact to phrase things so that they did not have the offensive bite as others used. For example, his “white nationalist” organizations eight major ideas are the following, a blend of things just a *bit* more than many people would accept:
1) Equal rights for White Americans, particularly through an end to affirmative action. (A popular stance)
2) An end to desegregation busing, which they blame for declining educational standards, increased racial tension, and the wasting of public money. (Mostly gone already)
3) Welfare reform that would see welfare recipients made to work for their money, and the encouragement of family planning. (Workfare and Planned Parenthood)
4) Tougher sentencing for violent crime, alongside the repealing of hate crime legislation. (Popular issues)
5) Very strict limitations on immigration. (Again popular)
6) An end to media portrayal of whites as oppressors. (Not a big issue to most people. Such movies usually are money losers.)
7) The preservation of white heritage. (Nebulous, but a little inflammatory.)
8) A demand for excellence in all things. (Makes no sense)
Okay, now examine the expression “white nationalist”.
Socialists are internationalists, who loathe the very idea of nations, heterogeneous peoples, unique cultures and histories, and patriotism. So a “nationalist” to them is an invective as easily made at a National socialist as it is at a patriotic conservative. And a “white nationalist” is doubly damned in their eyes, as white implies a heterogeneous ethnic type.
Bottom line: look who is cursing at Steve Scalise for speaking to this group. Their hands are far from clean as well.
If instead he had spoken to communist black nationalists that would have been a resume enhancement.
ValJar is working overtime, it would seem.
You can speak to groups formed to advocate for black skin color but not groups formed to advocate for white skin color.
Misplaced glee - the only real losers are those who want to keep the far left at bay.
Duke was a long time democrat who didn’t get squat for Republican votes and even the guy he beat in the primary endorsed Dukes opponent.
“Duke is a Republican” is a liberal lie
He got WAY more votes when he ran as a Democrat.
About 5 times more in fact.
