David Duke is a well-known republican.


So was Strom Thurmond.

I am going to post a secret.

the real way to piss off a democrat is to say
Obama seems like a really nice guy, like Jimmy Carter I think he will make a great ex-president.
it destroys them
1. they are already armed to take on the muslim birther radical nonsense.
2. because it is true.

outside of America a better way is to say you think their mothers are whores. :lol:

Didn't Republicans deliberately sabotage Mr. Duke's presidential campaign?

Also this clown has been a Republican, Democrat, more like an opportunist and a racist.

In 1990, in the October 6 primary, Duke ran as a Republican against three Democrats including incumbent Senator J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.[38]

The Republican Party endorsed state Senator Ben Bagert of New Orleans, but national GOP officials anticipated that Bagert could not win and was fragmenting Johnston's support; so funding for Bagert's campaign was halted, and he dropped out two days before the election, though his name remained on the ballot.[39]

Duke's views prompted some of his critics (including Republicans) to form the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism, which directed media attention to Duke's statements of hostility to blacks and Jews.[40]

Duke received 43.51 percent (607,391 votes) of the vote to Johnston's 53.93 percent (752,902 votes).

@Inuyasha: he is referring to the internet/radio conspiracy celebrity/entertainer
Also, skafather is not trying to imply that Republicans are all racist, I am unsurprised they would have sabotaged Duke's campaign. You seem to think we have the same black and white outlook as you...

After he wished me bodily harm and then claimed he wasn't being serious, you can understand if I don't take him at his word.

Yes and you really need to familiarize yourself with the changes that have occurred over the years with the Republican and Democrat parties. The majority of the Blue Dog Democrats are much more Republican than Democrat and more of them are making the official switch each day as the south actually catches up semantically with where political reality has been sitting for the past 30 or so years now. The Republicans have specifically been targeting and courting these southern "democrats" for years now...it started back with the Southern Strategy and has grown into a pro-theocratic, anti-minority (through action, not words) party. It's why racists who would have previously registered themselves as Democrats changed to Republican: because Republicans court the racists...they've overcome the semantic boundary to where they can have proactively racist action by opposing much of the social programs that provide lifelines to impoverished (normally) minority areas.

The Southern Strategy has turned the Republicans into the Southern Democrats of old.

He's not a racist but he is still a neverending source of unintentional humor.

They're not all racist but there is a very distinct racist portion of the party that is becoming more and more endemic to the Republicans and is also the reason why public services are discouraged more and more. Not all Republicans are racist but they're holding a larger and larger portion of the population as times moves forward.

Dixiecrats are much more likely to be Republicans these days than Democrats.

Alex Jones is a libertarian on the much more extreme end.

:roll:

Would you take someone at their word saying they are only kidding after they say they wish you get beaten up and wish they could beat you up?

I know people get hot under the collar sometimes but you don't wish someone bodily harm or wish to commit bodily harm to an individual.

Uh no, Democrats just try to play the minorities so they can get a voting block that blindly votes for Democrats. Then they push for the status quo or a revenge mentality against the supposed oppressors.

The overwhelming majority of Republicans think racism is just plain stupid, who cares what someone's skin color is. What Republicans get concerned about is the people voting multiple times, people that are convicted felons voting, people that are here illegally voting, etc.

Ever heard of: "Vote early and vote often." That's the Chicago way, and its worries of actual voter fraud that makes Republicans pay close attention to what goes on at the ballot box. There may be a few Republicans that stray into intimidation which is wrong, but the actual concern of voter fraud is legitimate.

However, I haven't heard of Republicans or Tea Partiers in recent memory showing up with clubs outside polling places.

Here's a great republican quote for you:

Lee Atwater wrote:
You start out in 1954 by saying, "n****r, n****r, n****r." By 1968 you can't say "n****r"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites.

And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "n****r, n****r".


Taken from Southern Politics in the 1990s.

Lee Atwater was a key Republican strategist in the late 70s, through the 80s, and was the head of HW Bush's campaign strategy.

Ken Mehlman came out when he was head of the RNC in 2006 and apologized for the southern strategy. It was very real.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 02342.html

Blacks didnt just make up their aversion to the GOP. They know which party the southern racists ran to in the 1960s. It wasnt the Democrats. There are people alive today who remember it. It's natural for them to harbor a grudge.
