FLASHBACK Al Sharpton s Marchers in New York City Chant What Do We Want Dead Cops - Katie Pavlich

You fucking democrats...

A small group in New York did chant what you claim. However, Sharpton was in DC at the time, and the few dozen people chanting had nothing to do with the organized march which ended earlier in the day.

The truth about the dead cops chant MSNBC

MSNBC is not reliable.

The truth about the dead cops chant MSNBC

"Truth," from MSDNC?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You demagogues are a hoot.

 

[Statistikhengst]

To recap, of Sharpton’s 72 meetings:

• One-on-one meetings: 5 (7 percent) Like I said, 5 one-on-one meetings with the president.

Comrade, ask the hate site that does your thinking for you to explain why this is supposed to be relevant?

In all but 5 meetings, the racist fuck had an entourage...

How does that make it better? Ask your masters.

• Meetings with staff members or senior advisers, with more than one guest: 20 (27 percent)
• Events with more than 90 people: 16 (22 percent)
• Miscellaneous meetings or events, ranging from 3 to 700 guests: 31 (43 percent)

Giuliani 8217 s claim the White House invited Al Sharpton up to 85 times - The Washington Post

You are but a drone with no mind, pose my question to the hate sites and see if the hive can answer.

The Washington Post is a hate site?

Oh, I see you have encountered Unhinged2008.....

What is the obama jeremiah wright timeline?

Leave it to homo stats to display our daily dose of left wing double standards.

Liberals are such fucking losers.

You need to squeal a little louder than that.

What, precisely, has Al Sharpton said that is equal to David Duke's statements and actions, and his KKK/Nazi aims of white nationalism?

"What do we want? Dead Cops. When do we want them, NOW."

Why Comrade, I just don't know....

Fucking liar.

It's funny....this is all libs have now. This dumbass story that's over a decade old and has been debunked numerous times.


So, so sad.

The story is only a week old. Hell, thanks to the racist that defend Scalise and Duke it is still a fresh story. The story isn't about what Scalise may have said a decade ago. The story is that he got named to a leadership position in a party that is already struggling with a negative reputation in regards to racism. The longer the story lingers the more harm it does to the Republican Party. Keep commenting and bumping it.

Bump!

Have you every contributed anything beyond your signature "derp derp derpity derp" to any thread, anywhere, Statist?

 

[Camp]

Any curious readers that click on this thread will get to see the degenerate racist defending Scalise. Surprised someone from Scalise's office hasn't tracked them down and begged them to shut the fuck up. Let's hope the racist idiots keep us entertained for a few more days. It is just what the Republicans in Congress need. Endorsement from the extreme racist right wing American Taliban.

Bear with me, this will make sense at the end, with the final statement.

July 1, 1950: David Duke is born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His family moved around alot because of his dad's job in the oil business, but they eventually landed in Louisiana.

October 6, 1965: Steve Scalise is born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Specifically, he grew up in Metairie.

1967: David Duke joins the national KKK, at the age of 17. Not even out of High School and already hating minorities.

1968-1974: David Duke studies at LSU and forms the "White Youth Alliance" in 1970, at the age of 20. This group is a youth offshoot of the American NAZI party. Duke claims to have served in the military, in Laos, in 1971. He did not. He went to visit his dad there. His dad hired him to teach English to laotians, who then fired him because he was so terrible at it.

1974: upon graduation, David Duke founds the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan for Louisiana (KKKK) and becomes it's "Grand Wizard". He was 24 at that time. This was at the height of the Watergate Scandal in DC and shortly before Nixon's resignation in that year. At that time, Duke is a registered Democrat in Louisiana, two years after Nixon's successful Southern-State strategy in the 1972 presidential election.

1975: David Duke enters politics and runs for the LA state legislature, at first, as a Democrat, where he got a little over 11,000 votes and placed third (Jungle Primary, LA law). In 1979, he ran again and placed 2nd.

1979: David Duke founds and incorporates the "National Association for the Advancement of White People" (NAAWP). This is the second White Nationalist (Supremacist) group that David Duke has founded.

1984-1988: David Duke pays no income taxes.

1988: David Duke runs for President of the USA as a Democrat (lol) and actually wins the little known New Hampshire VICE-PRESIDENTIAL primary, which no longer exists as of 2009, but of course, his campaign goes no where. All told, Duke gets 45,290 votes (most of them in Louisiana), or 0.19% of all primary votes cast in the 1988 DEM primaries.

December 1988: David Duke changes his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican.

1985-1989: Steve Scalese attends LSU, graduates in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in political science.

1989: David Duke wins his first political race, a special election in Lousiana House District 89 (which would later become district 81) - Metairie (due to a retirement). None of the candidates gets over 50% in the Jungle Primary, but Duke narrowly beats out George H.W. Bush's preferred candidate (John Treen) in the runoff. Duke serves as State Rep for district 81 (it was district 89 until the 1990 census and resulting redistricting) until 1992. He was so hated in the LA HOR that even a non-affiliated rep tried to pass a motion to refuse seating Duke in the LA HOR because his residence was not in the district he had won. At the time that David Duke is seated in the LA HOR in a district where Steve Scalese grew up, Scalese is 24 years old.

Here is a video of some of Duke's campaign in 1989:



There is a still-photo of HIM at the 59 second mark. Take a look. Yepp, that's a swastika on his armband.

1990: David Duke runs for the US Senate. He, an avowed racist and holocaust denier, wins the GOP nomination for Senate. At the time that David Duke runs, Steve Scalise is 25 years old. Because Steve Bagert (whom the GOP elite supported), who had been defeated by Duke in the primaries, was still on the November 1990 ballot for the Jungle Primary, the GOP was TERRIFIED that David Duke could win and they therefore arm-twisted Bagert to back out, which he did, reluctantly. It was such a serious threat that Jack Kemp, who would go on to become the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee in 1996, threw his support to Democratic incumbent Johnston, saying: "there's no place in the Republican Party for someone who has practiced and practices racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism." Good for Jack Kemp. The Republican party needs more Jack Kemps in 2015. On election night, Johnston won 54 to 43 for Duke. But as of this point in time, David Duke was now on the national radar screen and the GOP was not happy that he had joined their party - to their credit, at least at that time.

1991: David Duke runs for Governor, in one of the most fascinating political chapters in our Union's history. This is a race I remember quite well, for I was really starting to get turned on to electoral politics after Bush 41 was elected. This is the year in which Buddy Roemer (who was a friend of Bush 41) switched parties, the GOP primary was a mess and David Duke WON the GOP primary. Meanwhile, Democrat Edwin Edwards, a crook, was going for a fourth, non-consecutive term. In the October Jungle primary, it was Edwards 34% / Duke 32% / Roemer 26.5%, with a smattering for the other nine candidates. Republicans were more terrified than ever that Duke could actually win the runoff and make it into the US Senate. Buddy Roemer, who hated Edwards with a passion, nonetheless swung his support to Edwards and yard signs popped up all over Louisiana with "vote for the crook, it's important", the "crook" being Edwards. Even President Bush 41, through his spokesman Ed Sununu, chimed in with: "The President is absolutely opposed to the kind of racist statements that have come out of David Duke now and in the past." At the end of the day, Edwards (D) won in a landslide, but only because Roemer's faction fell in line and voted for "the crook". In spite of losing big time, Duke said: "I won my constituency. I won 55% of the white vote." And indeed, he did. 55% of the white electorate in Louisana voted for a NAZI white-supremacist in 1991, according to the exit polling. That is a very sad historical footnote.

Here is the complete debate from November 6th, 1991:



There was a panel of four political reporters who moderated the debate. One of them is black. His name is Norman Robinson (he was also a WH correspondent for CBS). There is an exchange where Robinson asks Duke questions about his overt racism and hatred. The exchange starts at 33:47 and goes to 37:58. Take a good hard look at that one. That is a good lesson on how racists dodge and avoid and evade. Most people who watched the debate say that this is the moment that most definitely nailed David Duke's campaign coffin shut and then, that was that.

Duke also got his ass handed to him by another panel member AND his Democratic opponent from 39:45 to 41:44 - about his racially tinged comments about "welfare mothers". That is a fascinating exchange.

Also, from 47:43 to 49:50, Mr. Robinson raked Duke over the coals about integrity, specifially, his tax evasion and the writing of pornographic books under a pseudonym. 49:33 is FASCINATING, you MUST watch it. At 49:33, Edwards, in his 30 second rebuttal, said of Duke: "he also wrote a plan for dividing America, in which he was gonna send the Hispanics to Arizona and the Jews some place else and the Blacks some place else and the Cajuns to Vermont, and I want to let you know, Mr. Duke, I'm a spokesperson for the Cajuns, and we ain't going". BOOM. In his closing statement, Duke claimed he didn't write that plan, but the facts don't bear him out. He did. So, the racist, anti-semitic David Duke lied. Big suprise there. He also indicated that he is "standing up" for his "heritage". Those are code words used by white supremacists. Ewards 3-minute closing statement probably goes into the history books as one of the most effective slap-downs in all of electoral history.

1992: David Duke runs for President, this time as a Republican. He is not well-received. He only gets 0.94% of all primary votes. However, WHERE he gets the Republican votes is fascinating: 10.62% in Mississippi, 8.85% in Louisiana, 7.09% in South Carolina, 3.14% in Tennessee, 2.85% in Texas. David Duke got more votes in the 1992 GOP primaries than did Ross Perot. That is a fascinating fact.

1995: Don Black and Chloe Hardin (Duke's Ex-Wife) found "Stormfront" as a website. David Duke has an account at that website. Hate has found it's way to the interweebs.

1995: Steve Scalese is elected to the LA House of Representatives, district 82, at the age of 30. He serves from 1996-2008, is re-elected twice, does not serve out his third term. See: 2007

1996: Duke again tries for the US Senate, but this time, is only 4th place in the Jungle Primary, but in 1999, he runs again for LA-01, the district that Steve Scalise currently represents in the HOR. Steve Scalise also runs for LA-01 in 1999. He is 34 at the time. So, in this year, the two men ran against each other for the same US HOR seat. This is the year in which Steve Scalise gave an interview in Roll Call and said that many of his views were the same as Duke's but that he was more electable.

2000 onward: David Duke is on a "Jewish Supremacism" trip and writes a number of virulently anti-semitic books. He is arrested and subsequently released in the Czech Republic for his neo-nazi writings.

2002: David Duke is charged with and found guilty of tax fraud. He serves 15 months in prison. He had duped his followers through postal mail and asked for donations for a campaign he never ran. The issue of tax fraud was brought up way back in the 1991 Gubernatorial debate, remember.

2007: Steve Scalese runs for and wins a special election to the LA Senate, District 9. (New Orleans). After the 2010 Census, LA reduces it's state Senate districts to 7. So, if you are looking for State District 9 now, you will not find one.

2008: Steve Scalese elected to the US HOR for LA-01 (North of New Orleans, east of Baton Rouge), 65.7% to 34.3%, he will be re-elected in 2010 (78.5% to 19.2%), 2012 (66.6% to 21.3%) and 2014 (77.6% to 10.2%). Steve Scalese represents a ruby-red, conservative district in Louisiana.

2009: David Duke is discovered living in secret at "Zell am See" (Salzburg) Austria, under the pseudonym "Ernst Duke". As of 2014, Duke is no longer listed as a registered voter in Louisiana. Zell am See is exactly one hour's drive from Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, which was Hitler's summer home and a favorite tourist spot for Neonazis. Zell am See was also a favorite vacation spot for Jörg Haider (who was the leader of Austria's neo-nazi party called FPÖ, until his death in 2008) outside of his home in Kärnten. I can't prove it yet, but I bet that if I dig deep enough, I will be able to prove that the two men knew each other.

2015: Scalese-gate



What is the point I am making?

The point is that when Steve Scalese had finished his undergraduate work at LSU, at the same time that David Duke had become national figure because of his coming dangerously close to winning two important races in Louisiana, in 1990 and 1991. Steve Scalise grew up in the same city that David Duke represented in the LA Legislature: Metairie. To have minored in poly-sci and now to act as if he barely knows anything about such an incredibly controversial and racist figure such as David Duke is just ridiculous on the part of Steve Scalese. In fact, a lot of his statements sound a lot like a lot of David Duke's catch-phrases from the 1991 gubernatorial debate.

And even sadder yet, some of the things that David Duke said then, things that were shunned by Republicans of 1990 and 1991, are now being embraced by Republicans of 2014-2015. That is just plain old scary.

So, no, Scalese-gate is not going away. Not by a longshot.

Now, whether you are a Conservative and maybe angry that I bring this up, David Duke's political activities are now part of the public record, he (and today's Republicans) cannot hide from them.

I think that's called "guilt by association." The Nazis and McCarthyites used to extensively. Of course in their case they could actually "show" an association, unlike you.
A new low in stupid from the resident dick sucking poseur.

Comrade, you demagogues have done your best to create an impression that Scalise has some sort of relationship with David Duke, which you claim creates a guilt by association.

But do you, or your fellow Goebbels here, have examples of this "racism" by Scalise? Or are you just depending on the usual formula of innuendo and gossip to attack the enemies of the party?

 

[Statistikhengst]

I think the most interesting thing in the Duke debate video is that he whines that he isn't the KKK/Nazi he used to be, and when asked to repudiate white supremacists groups, he does.

Well, we all know he went on to be the same KKK/Nazi fuck he always was and always will be.

Such is the way of deceivers.

g5000


Yepp. He was able to dress up and look salon-fähig for one debate, but once the spotlights were off, he went right back to the same old hatred.

And he had the gall to question his opponent's "Christianity" at the end of the debate. Really, what a hoot.

 

[Statistikhengst]

What, precisely, has Al Sharpton said that is equal to David Duke's statements and actions, and his KKK/Nazi aims of white nationalism?

"What do we want? Dead Cops. When do we want them, NOW."

Why Comrade, I just don't know....

Except, they didn't say that. That video was doctored, Spermbreath. Nice try.

Now, whether you are a Conservative and maybe angry that I bring this up, David Duke's political activities are now part of the public record, he (and today's Republicans) cannot hide from them.

I think that's called "guilt by association." The Nazis and McCarthyites used to extensively. Of course in their case they could actually "show" an association, unlike you.
A new low in stupid from the resident dick sucking poseur.

Well, actually, this right now is the fake Rabbi acting like a dick because he cannot read an OP from start to finish. Once again, proof that you are anything but a Jew when you think it's cool for Scalese to be associating with such a Jew hater. What, you like David Duke, or what? Spit.

It's a timeline that makes a specific point of logic at the end, one that is very, very hard to deny. Read it before yapping at the mouth.

 

[The Rabbi]

Bear with me, this will make sense at the end, with the final statement.

July 1, 1950: David Duke is born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His family moved around alot because of his dad's job in the oil business, but they eventually landed in Louisiana.

October 6, 1965: Steve Scalise is born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Specifically, he grew up in Metairie.

1967: David Duke joins the national KKK, at the age of 17. Not even out of High School and already hating minorities.

1968-1974: David Duke studies at LSU and forms the "White Youth Alliance" in 1970, at the age of 20. This group is a youth offshoot of the American NAZI party. Duke claims to have served in the military, in Laos, in 1971. He did not. He went to visit his dad there. His dad hired him to teach English to laotians, who then fired him because he was so terrible at it.

1974: upon graduation, David Duke founds the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan for Louisiana (KKKK) and becomes it's "Grand Wizard". He was 24 at that time. This was at the height of the Watergate Scandal in DC and shortly before Nixon's resignation in that year. At that time, Duke is a registered Democrat in Louisiana, two years after Nixon's successful Southern-State strategy in the 1972 presidential election.

1975: David Duke enters politics and runs for the LA state legislature, at first, as a Democrat, where he got a little over 11,000 votes and placed third (Jungle Primary, LA law). In 1979, he ran again and placed 2nd.

1979: David Duke founds and incorporates the "National Association for the Advancement of White People" (NAAWP). This is the second White Nationalist (Supremacist) group that David Duke has founded.

1984-1988: David Duke pays no income taxes.

1988: David Duke runs for President of the USA as a Democrat (lol) and actually wins the little known New Hampshire VICE-PRESIDENTIAL primary, which no longer exists as of 2009, but of course, his campaign goes no where. All told, Duke gets 45,290 votes (most of them in Louisiana), or 0.19% of all primary votes cast in the 1988 DEM primaries.

December 1988: David Duke changes his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican.

1985-1989: Steve Scalese attends LSU, graduates in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in political science.

1989: David Duke wins his first political race, a special election in Lousiana House District 89 (which would later become district 81) - Metairie (due to a retirement). None of the candidates gets over 50% in the Jungle Primary, but Duke narrowly beats out George H.W. Bush's preferred candidate (John Treen) in the runoff. Duke serves as State Rep for district 81 (it was district 89 until the 1990 census and resulting redistricting) until 1992. He was so hated in the LA HOR that even a non-affiliated rep tried to pass a motion to refuse seating Duke in the LA HOR because his residence was not in the district he had won. At the time that David Duke is seated in the LA HOR in a district where Steve Scalese grew up, Scalese is 24 years old.

Here is a video of some of Duke's campaign in 1989:



There is a still-photo of HIM at the 59 second mark. Take a look. Yepp, that's a swastika on his armband.

1990: David Duke runs for the US Senate. He, an avowed racist and holocaust denier, wins the GOP nomination for Senate. At the time that David Duke runs, Steve Scalise is 25 years old. Because Steve Bagert (whom the GOP elite supported), who had been defeated by Duke in the primaries, was still on the November 1990 ballot for the Jungle Primary, the GOP was TERRIFIED that David Duke could win and they therefore arm-twisted Bagert to back out, which he did, reluctantly. It was such a serious threat that Jack Kemp, who would go on to become the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee in 1996, threw his support to Democratic incumbent Johnston, saying: "there's no place in the Republican Party for someone who has practiced and practices racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism." Good for Jack Kemp. The Republican party needs more Jack Kemps in 2015. On election night, Johnston won 54 to 43 for Duke. But as of this point in time, David Duke was now on the national radar screen and the GOP was not happy that he had joined their party - to their credit, at least at that time.

1991: David Duke runs for Governor, in one of the most fascinating political chapters in our Union's history. This is a race I remember quite well, for I was really starting to get turned on to electoral politics after Bush 41 was elected. This is the year in which Buddy Roemer (who was a friend of Bush 41) switched parties, the GOP primary was a mess and David Duke WON the GOP primary. Meanwhile, Democrat Edwin Edwards, a crook, was going for a fourth, non-consecutive term. In the October Jungle primary, it was Edwards 34% / Duke 32% / Roemer 26.5%, with a smattering for the other nine candidates. Republicans were more terrified than ever that Duke could actually win the runoff and make it into the US Senate. Buddy Roemer, who hated Edwards with a passion, nonetheless swung his support to Edwards and yard signs popped up all over Louisiana with "vote for the crook, it's important", the "crook" being Edwards. Even President Bush 41, through his spokesman Ed Sununu, chimed in with: "The President is absolutely opposed to the kind of racist statements that have come out of David Duke now and in the past." At the end of the day, Edwards (D) won in a landslide, but only because Roemer's faction fell in line and voted for "the crook". In spite of losing big time, Duke said: "I won my constituency. I won 55% of the white vote." And indeed, he did. 55% of the white electorate in Louisana voted for a NAZI white-supremacist in 1991, according to the exit polling. That is a very sad historical footnote.

Here is the complete debate from November 6th, 1991:



There was a panel of four political reporters who moderated the debate. One of them is black. His name is Norman Robinson (he was also a WH correspondent for CBS). There is an exchange where Robinson asks Duke questions about his overt racism and hatred. The exchange starts at 33:47 and goes to 37:58. Take a good hard look at that one. That is a good lesson on how racists dodge and avoid and evade. Most people who watched the debate say that this is the moment that most definitely nailed David Duke's campaign coffin shut and then, that was that.

Duke also got his ass handed to him by another panel member AND his Democratic opponent from 39:45 to 41:44 - about his racially tinged comments about "welfare mothers". That is a fascinating exchange.

Also, from 47:43 to 49:50, Mr. Robinson raked Duke over the coals about integrity, specifially, his tax evasion and the writing of pornographic books under a pseudonym. 49:33 is FASCINATING, you MUST watch it. At 49:33, Edwards, in his 30 second rebuttal, said of Duke: "he also wrote a plan for dividing America, in which he was gonna send the Hispanics to Arizona and the Jews some place else and the Blacks some place else and the Cajuns to Vermont, and I want to let you know, Mr. Duke, I'm a spokesperson for the Cajuns, and we ain't going". BOOM. In his closing statement, Duke claimed he didn't write that plan, but the facts don't bear him out. He did. So, the racist, anti-semitic David Duke lied. Big suprise there. He also indicated that he is "standing up" for his "heritage". Those are code words used by white supremacists. Ewards 3-minute closing statement probably goes into the history books as one of the most effective slap-downs in all of electoral history.

1992: David Duke runs for President, this time as a Republican. He is not well-received. He only gets 0.94% of all primary votes. However, WHERE he gets the Republican votes is fascinating: 10.62% in Mississippi, 8.85% in Louisiana, 7.09% in South Carolina, 3.14% in Tennessee, 2.85% in Texas. David Duke got more votes in the 1992 GOP primaries than did Ross Perot. That is a fascinating fact.

1995: Don Black and Chloe Hardin (Duke's Ex-Wife) found "Stormfront" as a website. David Duke has an account at that website. Hate has found it's way to the interweebs.

1995: Steve Scalese is elected to the LA House of Representatives, district 82, at the age of 30. He serves from 1996-2008, is re-elected twice, does not serve out his third term. See: 2007

1996: Duke again tries for the US Senate, but this time, is only 4th place in the Jungle Primary, but in 1999, he runs again for LA-01, the district that Steve Scalise currently represents in the HOR. Steve Scalise also runs for LA-01 in 1999. He is 34 at the time. So, in this year, the two men ran against each other for the same US HOR seat. This is the year in which Steve Scalise gave an interview in Roll Call and said that many of his views were the same as Duke's but that he was more electable.

2000 onward: David Duke is on a "Jewish Supremacism" trip and writes a number of virulently anti-semitic books. He is arrested and subsequently released in the Czech Republic for his neo-nazi writings.

2002: David Duke is charged with and found guilty of tax fraud. He serves 15 months in prison. He had duped his followers through postal mail and asked for donations for a campaign he never ran. The issue of tax fraud was brought up way back in the 1991 Gubernatorial debate, remember.

2007: Steve Scalese runs for and wins a special election to the LA Senate, District 9. (New Orleans). After the 2010 Census, LA reduces it's state Senate districts to 7. So, if you are looking for State District 9 now, you will not find one.

2008: Steve Scalese elected to the US HOR for LA-01 (North of New Orleans, east of Baton Rouge), 65.7% to 34.3%, he will be re-elected in 2010 (78.5% to 19.2%), 2012 (66.6% to 21.3%) and 2014 (77.6% to 10.2%). Steve Scalese represents a ruby-red, conservative district in Louisiana.

2009: David Duke is discovered living in secret at "Zell am See" (Salzburg) Austria, under the pseudonym "Ernst Duke". As of 2014, Duke is no longer listed as a registered voter in Louisiana. Zell am See is exactly one hour's drive from Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, which was Hitler's summer home and a favorite tourist spot for Neonazis. Zell am See was also a favorite vacation spot for Jörg Haider (who was the leader of Austria's neo-nazi party called FPÖ, until his death in 2008) outside of his home in Kärnten. I can't prove it yet, but I bet that if I dig deep enough, I will be able to prove that the two men knew each other.

2015: Scalese-gate



What is the point I am making?

The point is that when Steve Scalese had finished his undergraduate work at LSU, at the same time that David Duke had become national figure because of his coming dangerously close to winning two important races in Louisiana, in 1990 and 1991. Steve Scalise grew up in the same city that David Duke represented in the LA Legislature: Metairie. To have minored in poly-sci and now to act as if he barely knows anything about such an incredibly controversial and racist figure such as David Duke is just ridiculous on the part of Steve Scalese. In fact, a lot of his statements sound a lot like a lot of David Duke's catch-phrases from the 1991 gubernatorial debate.

And even sadder yet, some of the things that David Duke said then, things that were shunned by Republicans of 1990 and 1991, are now being embraced by Republicans of 2014-2015. That is just plain old scary.

So, no, Scalese-gate is not going away. Not by a longshot.

Now, whether you are a Conservative and maybe angry that I bring this up, David Duke's political activities are now part of the public record, he (and today's Republicans) cannot hide from them.

I think that's called "guilt by association." The Nazis and McCarthyites used to extensively. Of course in their case they could actually "show" an association, unlike you.

It's a timeline that makes a specific point of logic at the end, one that is very, very hard to deny. Read it before yapping at the mouth.

Hm, so Scalise lived in LA at the same a David Duke. Wow. That must mean he's a racist. Along with the other 4.6M people who also lived there about that time. That's 4.6M racists including Democrats and blacks. Geez, you are such a baller, Herr Falschspieler!

Not an issue for RWs but change the names to Obama and Ayers and you'll hear a different tune.

Scalese saying he's a 'David Duke Republican' and 'David Duke without the baggage' pretty much says it all.

We need to get white supremacists out of public office.

Good luck with that one....especially since the non-racist Republican/conservatives keep making excuses for them and claiming they are not racist....

It was such a serious threat that Jack Kemp, who would go on to become the Republican Vice-Presidential nominee in 1996, threw his support to Democratic incumbent Johnston, saying: "there's no place in the Republican Party for someone who has practiced and practices racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism." Good for Jack Kemp. The Republican party needs more Jack Kemps in 2015. On election night, Johnston won 54 to 43 for Duke. But as of this point in time, David Duke was now on the national radar screen and the GOP was not happy that he had joined their party - to their credit, at least at that time.

1991: David Duke runs for Governor, in one of the most fascinating political chapters in our Union's history. This is a race I remember quite well, for I was really starting to get turned on to electoral politics after Bush 41 was elected. This is the year in which Buddy Roemer (who was a friend of Bush 41) switched parties, the GOP primary was a mess and David Duke WON the GOP primary. Meanwhile, Democrat Edwin Edwards, a crook, was going for a fourth, non-consecutive term. In the October Jungle primary, it was Edwards 34% / Duke 32% / Roemer 26.5%, with a smattering for the other nine candidates. Republicans were more terrified than ever that Duke could actually win the runoff and make it into the US Senate. Buddy Roemer, who hated Edwards with a passion, nonetheless swung his support to Edwards and yard signs popped up all over Louisiana with "vote for the crook, it's important", the "crook" being Edwards. Even President Bush 41, through his spokesman Ed Sununu, chimed in with: "The President is absolutely opposed to the kind of racist statements that have come out of David Duke now and in the past." At the end of the day, Edwards (D) won in a landslide, but only because Roemer's faction fell in line and voted for "the crook". In spite of losing big time, Duke said: "I won my constituency. I won 55% of the white vote." And indeed, he did. 55% of the white electorate in Louisana voted for a NAZI white-supremacist in 1991, according to the exit polling. That is a very sad historical footnote.

Here is the complete debate from November 6th, 1991:



There was a panel of four political reporters who moderated the debate. One of them is black. His name is Norman Robinson (he was also a WH correspondent for CBS). There is an exchange where Robinson asks Duke questions about his overt racism and hatred. The exchange starts at 33:47 and goes to 37:58. Take a good hard look at that one. That is a good lesson on how racists dodge and avoid and evade. Most people who watched the debate say that this is the moment that most definitely nailed David Duke's campaign coffin shut and then, that was that.

Duke also got his ass handed to him by another panel member AND his Democratic opponent from 39:45 to 41:44 - about his racially tinged comments about "welfare mothers". That is a fascinating exchange.

Also, from 47:43 to 49:50, Mr. Robinson raked Duke over the coals about integrity, specifially, his tax evasion and the writing of pornographic books under a pseudonym. 49:33 is FASCINATING, you MUST watch it. At 49:33, Edwards, in his 30 second rebuttal, said of Duke: "he also wrote a plan for dividing America, in which he was gonna send the Hispanics to Arizona and the Jews some place else and the Blacks some place else and the Cajuns to Vermont, and I want to let you know, Mr. Duke, I'm a spokesperson for the Cajuns, and we ain't going". BOOM. In his closing statement, Duke claimed he didn't write that plan, but the facts don't bear him out. He did. So, the racist, anti-semitic David Duke lied. Big suprise there. He also indicated that he is "standing up" for his "heritage". Those are code words used by white supremacists. Ewards 3-minute closing statement probably goes into the history books as one of the most effective slap-downs in all of electoral history.

1992: David Duke runs for President, this time as a Republican. He is not well-received. He only gets 0.94% of all primary votes. However, WHERE he gets the Republican votes is fascinating: 10.62% in Mississippi, 8.85% in Louisiana, 7.09% in South Carolina, 3.14% in Tennessee, 2.85% in Texas. David Duke got more votes in the 1992 GOP primaries than did Ross Perot. That is a fascinating fact.

1995: Don Black and Chloe Hardin (Duke's Ex-Wife) found "Stormfront" as a website. David Duke has an account at that website. Hate has found it's way to the interweebs.

1995: Steve Scalese is elected to the LA House of Representatives, district 82, at the age of 30. He serves from 1996-2008, is re-elected twice, does not serve out his third term. See: 2007

1996: Duke again tries for the US Senate, but this time, is only 4th place in the Jungle Primary, but in 1999, he runs again for LA-01, the district that Steve Scalise currently represents in the HOR. Steve Scalise also runs for LA-01 in 1999. He is 34 at the time. So, in this year, the two men ran against each other for the same US HOR seat. This is the year in which Steve Scalise gave an interview in Roll Call and said that many of his views were the same as Duke's but that he was more electable.

2000 onward: David Duke is on a "Jewish Supremacism" trip and writes a number of virulently anti-semitic books. He is arrested and subsequently released in the Czech Republic for his neo-nazi writings.

2002: David Duke is charged with and found guilty of tax fraud. He serves 15 months in prison. He had duped his followers through postal mail and asked for donations for a campaign he never ran. The issue of tax fraud was brought up way back in the 1991 Gubernatorial debate, remember.

2007: Steve Scalese runs for and wins a special election to the LA Senate, District 9. (New Orleans). After the 2010 Census, LA reduces it's state Senate districts to 7. So, if you are looking for State District 9 now, you will not find one.

2008: Steve Scalese elected to the US HOR for LA-01 (North of New Orleans, east of Baton Rouge), 65.7% to 34.3%, he will be re-elected in 2010 (78.5% to 19.2%), 2012 (66.6% to 21.3%) and 2014 (77.6% to 10.2%). Steve Scalese represents a ruby-red, conservative district in Louisiana.

2009: David Duke is discovered living in secret at "Zell am See" (Salzburg) Austria, under the pseudonym "Ernst Duke". As of 2014, Duke is no longer listed as a registered voter in Louisiana. Zell am See is exactly one hour's drive from Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, which was Hitler's summer home and a favorite tourist spot for Neonazis. Zell am See was also a favorite vacation spot for Jörg Haider (who was the leader of Austria's neo-nazi party called FPÖ, until his death in 2008) outside of his home in Kärnten. I can't prove it yet, but I bet that if I dig deep enough, I will be able to prove that the two men knew each other.

2015: Scalese-gate



What is the point I am making?

The point is that when Steve Scalese had finished his undergraduate work at LSU, at the same time that David Duke had become national figure because of his coming dangerously close to winning two important races in Louisiana, in 1990 and 1991. Steve Scalise grew up in the same city that David Duke represented in the LA Legislature: Metairie. To have minored in poly-sci and now to act as if he barely knows anything about such an incredibly controversial and racist figure such as David Duke is just ridiculous on the part of Steve Scalese. In fact, a lot of his statements sound a lot like a lot of David Duke's catch-phrases from the 1991 gubernatorial debate.

And even sadder yet, some of the things that David Duke said then, things that were shunned by Republicans of 1990 and 1991, are now being embraced by Republicans of 2014-2015. That is just plain old scary.

So, no, Scalese-gate is not going away. Not by a longshot.

Now, whether you are a Conservative and maybe angry that I bring this up, David Duke's political activities are now part of the public record, he (and today's Republicans) cannot hide from them.

Not an issue for RWs but change the names to Obama and Ayers and you'll hear a different tune.

Scalese saying he's a 'David Duke Republican' and 'David Duke without the baggage' pretty much says it all.

We need to get white supremacists out of public office.

Good luck with that one....especially since the non-racist Republican/conservatives keep making excuses for them and claiming they are not racist....

Yes, it's all the rage with Rrrrracist Rrrrrrightie Rrrrrroookies theses days.

Bear with me, this will make sense at the end, with the final statement.

July 1, 1950: David Duke is born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His family moved around alot because of his dad's job in the oil business, but they eventually landed in Louisiana.

October 6, 1965: Steve Scalise is born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Specifically, he grew up in Metairie.

1967: David Duke joins the national KKK, at the age of 17. Not even out of High School and already hating minorities.

1968-1974: David Duke studies at LSU and forms the "White Youth Alliance" in 1970, at the age of 20. This group is a youth offshoot of the American NAZI party. Duke claims to have served in the military, in Laos, in 1971. He did not. He went to visit his dad there. His dad hired him to teach English to laotians, who then fired him because he was so terrible at it.

1974: upon graduation, David Duke founds the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan for Louisiana (KKKK) and becomes it's "Grand Wizard". He was 24 at that time. This was at the height of the Watergate Scandal in DC and shortly before Nixon's resignation in that year. At that time, Duke is a registered Democrat in Louisiana, two years after Nixon's successful Southern-State strategy in the 1972 presidential election.

1975: David Duke enters politics and runs for the LA state legislature, at first, as a Democrat, where he got a little over 11,000 votes and placed third (Jungle Primary, LA law). In 1979, he ran again and placed 2nd.

1979: David Duke founds and incorporates the "National Association for the Advancement of White People" (NAAWP). This is the second White Nationalist (Supremacist) group that David Duke has founded.

1984-1988: David Duke pays no income taxes.

1988: David Duke runs for President of the USA as a Democrat (lol) and actually wins the little known New Hampshire VICE-PRESIDENTIAL primary, which no longer exists as of 2009, but of course, his campaign goes no where. All told, Duke gets 45,290 votes (most of them in Louisiana), or 0.19% of all primary votes cast in the 1988 DEM primaries.

December 1988: David Duke changes his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican.

1985-1989: Steve Scalese attends LSU, graduates in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minor in political science.

1989: David Duke wins his first political race, a special election in Lousiana House District 89 (which would later become district 81) - Metairie (due to a retirement). None of the candidates gets over 50% in the Jungle Primary, but Duke narrowly beats out George H.W. Bush's preferred candidate (John Treen) in the runoff. Duke serves as State Rep for district 81 (it was district 89 until the 1990 census and resulting redistricting) until 1992. He was so hated in the LA HOR that even a non-affiliated rep tried to pass a motion to refuse seating Duke in the LA HOR because his residence was not in the district he had won. At the time that David Duke is seated in the LA HOR in a district where Steve Scalese grew up, Scalese is 24 years old.

Here is a video of some of Duke's campaign in 1989:



There is a still-photo of HIM at the 59 second mark. Take a look. Yepp, that's a swastika on his armband.

1990: David Duke runs for the US Senate. He, an avowed racist and holocaust denier, wins the GOP nomination for Senate. At the time that David Duke runs, Steve Scalise is 25 years old.

Good for Jack Kemp. The Republican party needs more Jack Kemps in 2015. On election night, Johnston won 54 to 43 for Duke. But as of this point in time, David Duke was now on the national radar screen and the GOP was not happy that he had joined their party - to their credit, at least at that time.

2015: Scalese-gate

Now, whether you are a Conservative and maybe angry that I bring this up, David Duke's political activities are now part of the public record, he (and today's Republicans) cannot hide from them.

I think that's called "guilt by association." The Nazis and McCarthyites used to extensively. Of course in their case they could actually "show" an association, unlike you.
A new low in stupid from the resident dick sucking poseur.

Well, actually, this right now is the fake Rabbi acting like a dick because he cannot read an OP from start to finish. Once again, proof that you are anything but a Jew when you think it's cool for Scalese to be associating with such a Jew hater. What, you like David Duke, or what? Spit.

It's a timeline that makes a specific point of logic at the end, one that is very, very hard to deny. Read it before yapping at the mouth.

Hm, so Scalise lived in LA at the same a David Duke. Wow. That must mean he's a racist. Along with the other 4.6M people who also lived there about that time. That's 4.6M racists including Democrats and blacks. Geez, you are such a baller, Herr Falschspieler!

Yeah, because the 4.6M people who also live there all went and spoke at one of Duke's gatherings......
