On CNN: David Duke spouting off kkk bullshit, criticizing Jews.

[muntrv]

He rails against Israel's oppression of Palestinians, even though he considers Palestinians sub-human since they're people of color.

[ewoden]

1. the enemy of my enemy is my friend n/t

[JohnLocke]

3. Excuse me?

Jews are your enemy?

[originalpckelly]

9. I believe ewoden meant to say that was the reason David Duke is sympathetic to the Palestinians...

hence "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" bit.

[PCIntern]

11. I hope he says it himself...

[originalpckelly]

15. Well, to those of us who think that most DUers don't deny the holocaust...

and probably don't like David Duke, it was pretty clear.

The trouble is that you assume a DUer likes David Duke.

[The Magistrate]

85. The Trouble, Mr. Kelly

Is that we have been removing recently a great many posts on the Tehran Holocaust deniers convention expressing agreement with Duke and his beliefs, and expelling members over it as well....

[originalpckelly]

90. Holy CRAP! You have to be kidding me!?!?

WOW! That's actually very stunning. Well I wish you poor mods the best of luck.

Do you think they've infiltrated on purpose?

[The Magistrate]

98. I Wish I Were Kidding, Sir

Obviously, I cannot divulge details, but the range is from recent sign-ups caught in the first couple of posts to people who have been here as long as me....

Your good wishes are much appreciated, Sir.

[ewoden]

29. yes it is an Arabic proverb

Duke is cozy with Palestinians, for now, as they are the enemy of his long term target the Jews. my opinion of Judaism, Zionism, Israel is not the subject here.

[DawgHouse]

58. I am familiar with this phrase and understood what he meant. too

Duke lies when he pretends to care for the Palestinians. But his hatred for the Jews is greater.

[BuyingThyme]

22. Good god, man. Take a few minutes to become familiar

with your own language.

[Divine Discontent]

44. seriously!

stfu - because if you make another AWESOMELY hilarious choice of wording like that again, I may piss myself.

very very funny sentence. THANK YOU!!!

[PCIntern]

8. Duke is your friend?

[ewoden]

31. It's Wednesday perhaps you are tired.

The saying is an Arabic proverb. Read my response above.

[Redstone]

12. Then I'm damn glad I'm not your friend, If Duke is. I don't like racists, nor their friends.

Redstone

[La Lioness Priyanka]

23. i think he meant to say that duke is pretending friendship to palestinians

because they are enemies of the same people

thats atleast what i think.

[Redstone]

27. Others have said that. Why won't he say so himself and clear up the confusion?

Redstone

[ewoden]

36. I'm not confused, though you seem to be and impatient as well

Still, for the last time. Duke cozies up to Palestine to get at his target the jewish people . Pretty simple to get, especially for those not bent on fabricating the absolute worst in a fellow DU'er.

[Redstone]

42. Nobody was "fabricating." Your post was DAMN easy to read as being in favor of Duke.

Redstone

[ewoden]

43. Then you took the easy way, Not always the correct way is it?

I'm sorry your misinterpretation of my statement caused you consternation.

[Redstone]

46. Hey, I've made ambiguous posts that people took the wrong way, too. But when I did,

I always clarified my point, and acknowledged the ambiguity of the post without attacking people who misinterpreted it.

But that's just me.

Redstone

[ewoden]

50. Oh mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Better now?

[Redstone]

51. Just tryiing to be helpful. Better now?

Redstone

[ewoden]

56. No, Try harder ,

You called me a racist, yet you don't even know me. You jumped to the conclusion that, because you misinterpreted my post, I must simply be a racist friend of Duke (that's in your topic line). I am personally insulted by your accusation. But hey it's an anonymous board so what the hell you get a bye and I'll move on to more fruitful topics.

[Renew Deal]

64. Don't be insulted

You brought it upon yourself by being vague.

[ewoden]

67. So endeth the sermon for the day. Now was that from the

"Right" side or the "Left" side of the alter?

[Renew Deal]

63. You didn't make a clear statement

It's your fault not his.

[ewoden]

66. Oh now I get it. The lack of a clear statement on my part...

Is license for someone to call me names. Okay and WOW how liberating that can become.

[Renew Deal]

68. Not calling you names

if it's true. You left it up to everyone to decide.

[ewoden]

74. Aah a redbaiter. Inquisition anyone?

Let's put him to the stake, if he doesn't burn he's a racist, if burns well he deserved it. Are you perhaps a fan of the McCarthy era? Maybe some Salem blood? And no I did not leave it up to everyone to decide. I was very clear, in my subsequent response to those confused, the purpose of my post.

[Renew Deal]

81. The only reason you needed a subsequent response was because

your original was vague. You know you were wrong. Why are you fighting it?

[ewoden]

83. Fighting what? Being called a racist?

Why can't you let go of a fight you don't even have a dog in?

[Renew Deal]

86. This is about you.

And the fact that you posted something vague. Then acted like everybody else was wrong for not being able to figure out what you were trying to say. You made a mistake. Instead of fixing it you turned it into a 30 post flamewar. BTW, Redstone is one of the finer characters you'll meet here. Maybe you could learn something.

[ewoden]

91. Oh I learned a lot

[Divine Discontent]

45. it's okay Redstone

I read it as the person was summing up what Duke was really doing ---- thereby saying the enemy of his enemy is his friend, but they said it in the 1st person (I think). I never liked that saying anyhow... lol

themartyred

[Lance_Boyle]

112. why don't you stop

looking to pick a fight over something that has been explained away three times already before you chimed in? I swear, some people here just strain their tiny brains immensely to find offense where *clearly* none was intended.

[ewoden]

34. Well I'm the son of a Liberator of Ordruf. I likely know more about the

Concentration camps than most of you. I have ORIGINAL photographs of the carnage, taken by my dad. I held a swatch of cloth given to my dad from a inmate of the camps with inscriptions of gratitude on it, written in the man's own blood as he had nothing else to leave his mark with. I went to rallies with my dad to shout down neo-Nazis before I was teenager.

I can and will say little more on this subject.

Look up the enemy of my enemy is my firend. find it's origin. You will come to understand the irony.

[GOPBasher]

40. Oh my good God, people, that's not what he meant.

I really can't believe I have to point this out. He just meant that Duke must be thinking, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I'll be friendly with the Palestinians." He doesn't like Duke. Man.

[Journeyman]

13. If you assume a persona on this board, ewoden, it's best . . .

to clearly identify it as such, and explain (however briefly) why you see that persona making such statements. Otherwise, as happened here, most of your readers will not discern your intent.

[PCIntern]

17. "Yeah...what he said..." n/t

[BuyingThyme]

33. You're wrong. Most people here are smart enough to understand

extremely common phrases.

It's a very select few which need to be treated like small children.

[ewoden]

35. Point taken. I erroneously assumed others were well read.

[Journeyman]

52. You'd think so, wouldn't you? . . .

I hope I'm not too ambiguous here, but I made a decision awhile back to be as nice as I can on these boards as much as I can, so when I read the inane responses to your post I chose to politely chastise your responders in the guise of giving you advice. I was not entirely successful (post 33). But for what it's worth, your intent was entirely clear to me, but then, I'm not so obtuse as to need sarcasm smilies and the like, nor do I feel a need to unwarrantly attack other posters of good standing over opinions they state which I might not fully understand.

[Renew Deal]

87. Others assumed the same thing about you.

[GOPBasher]

41. All he should have done is put the statement in quotes, but still,

people here should know better anyway. I would have put it like this, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Thus, the quotes make it clear, or should to most people, that I'm attributing the attitude toward Duke.

[Divine Discontent]

47. I got the intent....

but then again, I am having a good day. If anyone thinks our brains don't truly have good days and bad days, they're sorely mistaken.

[PCIntern]

2. "Criticizing' isn't the word..

he is the sickest export from the US in my lifetime. I'd rather listen to Carl McIntyre...anyone else remember him?

[Jack Rabbit]

57. Yes.

You must go back a ways, my fellow graybeard.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. He's getting his ass handed to him on a platter and WHINING about being

picked on by the media.:rofl::rofl: David Duke is one SICK puppy!

[WindRavenX]

5. There's a whole lotta messed up shit at this holocaust denial meeting

I mean, jesus christ. It's the 21st fucking century.

What a shitty new millennium it's been x(

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. Extremists like that are funny that way

I know some fundamentalist anti-choice people who say Catholics are idol-worshippers, but they will stand side by side with them picketing a woman's clinic and make like they are the best of pals.

[wryter2000]

7. Why in hell is he on CNN?

Time was reputable news organizations didn't give hate-mongers like that a podium. You don't have to interview everyone because they're sensational.

:mad:

[PCIntern]

10. Ratings...this is gonna get replayed

all over the place in one forum or another.

Wolfie was getting pretty pissed that Nazi was lambasting him. Last time I saw him that angry was when someone insinuated that Mrs. Wolfie was watching him on TV...he replied that you could bet your life that she wasn't watching. ALways wondered what that was about...

[SemperEadem]

30. I must say...

it was funny watching Wolf Blitzer getting pissed.

[Redstone]

14. Why the FUCK are they giving that racist pondscum airtime?

Redstone

[PCIntern]

16. I particularly 'enjoyed' the part

where he stated that all that was 30 years ago, so therefore it's no longer relevant, then went off into the old diatribes. One sick POS

[Redstone]

18. Thanks for letting me know what he said. I wouldn't be able to watch it myself,

because I'd hate to lose my dinner so soon after eating it.

Redstone

[Wonk]

20. 1976? Talk about revisionist history...

:shrug:

[SemperEadem]

32. Exactly.

people are in Guantanamo for less than what Duke has done today.

[Virginia Dare]

19. Something I had forgotten about Duke...

he won over 60% of the white vote in his race, was it for Governor? I can't remember anymore, I've tried to block that scary asshole out of my mind.

[babylonsister]

21. I think he said he was a state rep. nt

[durrrty libby]

24. Wolfy said Duke was once a state rep

Wow :wow: that is so sad that people voted for him

:freak: :hangover: :hurts:

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Louisiana House of Representatives.

:(

[Lurking Dem]

26. Was that when he was running as

a Democrat, an Independent, or a Republican? I think he's done all 3 by now.

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. Republican. Member of Louisiana state house of representatives, 1990...n/t

[blitzen]

102. 60 frigging percent of my fellow white Louisianans voted for him for Gov

in 1990....

that is a sobering thought...Worse is, he'd probably get about the same percentage now, provided that he was suitably "framed" by the media

[SemperEadem]

28. He obviously got a face lift

from the local butcher... his face is messed up, s0n! He must not watch Dr. 91210...

[Cameron27]

38. By now, his hate is so well-worn that it's

conspicuously sitting on his face.

[Lurking Dem]

39. My mother used to refer to it as

"the meanness coming out."

49. "Jew friends?" I can see from your post why

you sympathize with Duke.

"If you remember it was during the time that Leb. was invaded that Mel Gibson went on his rant. I think like some of us he's just sick of the constant warring, and after a few to many drinks what was troubling to him came out. Too bad, I'm sure he has many Jew friends but to some people in the US, we think of them as American but they still identify with Israel which I don't feel comfortable with."

Words fail me. Oy.

[Cameron27]

53. He doesn't have to spout hate;

he exhales hate with every single fucking breath he takes. Israel has nothing to do with this POS.

[in_cog_ni_to]

54. You're making excuses for Mel Gibson and he has "JEW FRIENDS?"

OMG....I'm just going to exit this thread before I say something I'll regret.:grr:

"Jew friends." Lovely. The adjective is "Jewish."

And furthermore, there is no monolithic viewpoint on Israel among American Jews.

Go back to your "articles, books and lectures" now.

62. I am too

Just disgusted.

[fujiyama]

61. Yes, you deserve to get flamed

If you believe Duke deserves "kudos" for anything, you are a fucking idiot...And Ahmed-Jad is a fuckin antisemitic theocratic nutcase.

And enough of this "he was misquoted" bullshit. STOP FUCKIN LEGITIMIZING HIS WORDS. I'm fuckin sick of this.

100. I'm an idiot, because I view racists as scum?

If you want to try to legitimize the words of virulent racists, then you deserve to get your ass attacked.

And I don't care about Wolf Blitzer, but I won't tolerate racism or the defending of racists.

[WindRavenX]

65. I love these threads. They make people show their true colors

For better or for worse.

God this thread has some fucked up characters in it :puke:

[cali]

69. Unbelievable isn't it?

Straight out and out support for David Duke. I think we can put to rest the idea that there isn't any anti-semitism on DU, now.

True colors indeed.

[WindRavenX]

71. it's fucking disgusting

And i say this as being a vocal critic of many aspects of Israeli policy.

Fucking disgusting :puke:

"I don't hate the Jews BUT..."

"I have Jewish friends so I'll say something completely blatantly anti-semitic..."

Predictable. Always.

[cali]

76. Precisely.

I have no problem criticizing Israel, but I'm just shocked by this thread. I thought it was bad during the Israeli attack on Lebanon, but this is even worse. We have a problem on DU. BTW, don't look now, but another Dukian just crawled out of the woodwork.

[WindRavenX]

77. It's a sad day on DU when someone like that trilobite Duke is affirmed

:puke:

78. There's been so much of this crap today

I'm beyond even reacting to it.

Anyone who aligns himself with Duke, is as vile and disgusting as he is. You should be banned from DU.

[WindRavenX]

73. Whatever. Duke deserves not a SHRED of support of acknowledgment

He is human scum. He should, like all holocaust deniers, be completely ignored and shunned by society.

[cali]

79. Oh, and mentioning Jimmy Carter in the same breath as

David Duke is not only a fucking travesty, it's the type of red meat that the right wing just loooves.

88. Regardless of how you feel about Israel...

David Duke is a former member of the KKK who attempted to radically clean up his image so that he could run for Congress as a right-wing Republican in Louisiana. He hates those who are non-white. He has absolutely no love for the Palestinians or anyone else in the Middle East.

I'm sure you can find some other folks who admire him at Free Republic.

[cali]

92. Sadly, I think there's actually more support for Duke

here at DU than over there.

[Chorophyll]

93. Well, I sure hope not. n/t

[Lurking Dem]

94. Jon Stewart

just referred to Duke as, in a flashback to the 80's, the Flock of Seagulls of hate!

[Chorophyll]

95. Just saw that.

He DOES look like crap... deservedly so. (David Duke, I mean. Not Jon Stewart.)

[Lurking Dem]

96. This whole segment is

giving me some MUCH needed laughter. Some of the posts here today have been simply shameful.

[Chorophyll]

97. Me too.

Sometimes I think I'd lose my mind if it wasn't for Jon and Stephen. Enjoy!

[The Magistrate]

101. That Is A Bit Much, Ma'am

We appreciate alerts on clear expressions of support and agreement for the man, and for Holocaust denial or defense of same, and they will be acted on. But comments like this are not helpful either, and their cessation would be very welcome.

[mvd]

105. Hi, Sir!

Good to see you. Even if someone disagrees with Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, the bigot Duke is not the person to use. Everything he says has underlying bad intentions and he should not be applauded for anything.

[cali]

106. I'm sorry that raised your dander so, Mr. M.

and I definitely think there are far, far more bigots over in freeperville, but perusing their threads on Duke and the conference in Tehran, I saw not one iota of support for Duke. Yes, I realize that that has everything to do with convenience, and nothing to do with being a real picture of freeper sentiments.

[RB TexLa]

80. And to think I got flamed when I said StormFront had a presence here

during the Dubai port deal. Same racist type shit then too.

:puke:

[ftr23532]

89. FYI: This is an old alliance

it goes back http://fortherecordessays.blogspot.com/2006/11/part-5-muslim-brotherhoods-nazi_11.html">before WWII, http://fortherecordessays.blogspot.com/2006/11/part-6-nassers-nazis-go-global-cold_11.html">evolved through the postwar era, and http://fortherecordessays.blogspot.com/2006/11/part-3-down-al-taqwa-rabbit-hole-so_11.html">up through today. Then again, the same could be said about the Bush family's relationship with Nazis (to name just one prominent family in our world with such ties).

Fascism is like the "black" of the political fashion: if it's not this season's hot thing...just wait.

[AntiFascist]

103. I'm glad Duke is buddying up with Ahmadinejad....

now we are seeing Ahmadinejad's true colors as a simple-minded hatemonger. Doesn't he realize that embracing a former KKK member is a big political mistake? What an idiot!

[951-Riverside]

104. You people are so thin skinned (words are just words)

always playing the race card... oh wait he directed his comments towards jews not blacks... nevermind. :eyes:

[Chorophyll]

108. David Duke has a long history with the KKK.

One can safely assume he's directed plenty of nasty comments toward African Americans, which is equally reprehensible. It's just not what he was doing in this case.

[Hippo_Tron]

107. Of course, he's promoting Republican family values

[RadiDem]

109. He went nutz on Wolf Blitzer, Wolf kept his witz, Duke is a PaleoPig

[Immolate]

110. Like most dinosaurs

Duke longs for the days when he and his kind were relevant, even in a negative fashion. I don't quite understand why CNN chose to give him an extension on his five minutes of infamy.

[smitty]

111. Duke is a racist scumbag. His KKK career tanked years ago,

but he managed to reinvent himself as an "objective" investigator of Zionism. Now he's feted in Syria and Iran and given interviews on BBC radio and American cable news. Disgusting.
