In reply to the discussion: EX-KKK leader David Duke: Lay Off Steve Scalise or I’LL START NAMING OTHER POLS I MET WITH [View all]loyalsister
(13,390 posts)62. I think this could be a be careful what you ask for situation
There was a story about a college professor who invited a white supremacist (the guy who shot up the Jewish Center) to give a lecture to his class. The reasoning behind it was that you can't begin to truly understand the ugliness of that hate without seeing it first hand. Who knows if Duke met with some people who wanted to know the enemy, curious individuals, closet racists. The fact that he said it as if to threaten all politicians is something to be wary of. If he does it we may not like the results much.

"If Scalise is to be crucified....", he names names? Warning to the GOP? I volunteer to drive in the first spike.

Anyone afraid Duke will release their names for meeting with him should not be in public office.

Anyone who met with Duke should be proud enough of their action to own it.

Wait...I'm confused, are we supposed to believe that the GOP is not the party of racists?

Duke seems to think a lot about a person that says their only meeting 12 years ago
