David Duke Debunks Tea Pary Racism!
David Duke, White Nationalist, former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, holocaust denier and former presidential candidate, attempts to debunk the accusations of racism in the Tea Party.
This KKK Grand Wizard and Stormfront member since 1994 endeavors to school the Tea Party on racism. Their whiteness is defended. He explains why it’s not racist to be an overwhelmingly white political party in America.
Throughout his rambling he denotes self pity with claims of being “demonized by the media.” A picture in the video of an African American being arrested is a pathetic attempt to demonize African Americans, so I guess he knows a lot about ‘demonizing’.
Duke says, “the Tea Party is about preserving our heritage and freedom.” Mr Duke speaks of “preserving our heritage and freedom” a lot. This was made evident as I researched this in the bowels of Stormfront and other racist websites Mr Duke frequents.
On a side note, David Duke was known as “Puke Duke” in school. Puke Duke at one point in this video compares his censored rhetoric to Thomas Jefferson’s. Mr Puke, you are no Thomas Jefferson.
Mr Duck Duke, separatist extraordinaire, explains America’s history to the Tea Party. Of course, this is his version of history. In the Tea Party’s defense, this is unsolicited advice.
Without delay, here’s the Grand Puke himself:
Many years ago in New Orleans, Duke was running for political office. He explained away his past by saying, it was his past. He said he was no longer a racist. Now, he’s a lying racist.

Regardless of who he may or may not be and how horrible he is, isn’t “Duck” and “Puke” kinda childish?
Other than that, I’m kind of surprised with you. You taking lessons from Piperni (who by the way is an Atheist) (or maybe the Anti-Christ..or both!) You’ve slung Racist and just about every other disparaging moniker you can at the Tea Party. So now, are you trying to align them with David Duke and the KKK?

@Hank: I was trying to make light of this, eg, duck, etc. I could have ripped into the Tea Party, but I clearly said: IN DEFENSE OF THE TEA PARTY, THIS IS UNSOLICITED ADVICE. Tell me why you are so defensive Hank? Believe me, if I felt like blaming the Tea Party, this would have been worded completely differently. Should I be silent when a repugnant man like this tries to tell a party how they are or are not racist? You would think the Tea Partiers would want to know about this. I heard Hannity made someone take this video off his website. He was banned. The reason given: racist.

Anomaly – First things first. Correct the heading!
The way this reads to me is that you are trying to align Duke with the Tea Party with him trying to explain away appearances of racist elements even to the point of him saying it’s okay to be just a little bit racist. Thank you for the half hearted disclaimer at the end.
I don’t think I’m being overly defensive. What is it your headliner says? “If we don’t speak out, we’re part of the problem.”
You guys are trying desperately to discredit the Tea Party members any way you can. Just you putting a post together lumping David Duke and the Tea Party together gives the impression they are somehow aligned. Well, I’m speaking out on that.
Tea Party or Sarah Palin. Which scares you guys the most? But most importantly….why??
Come on. You shouldn’t play little Ms. Innocent and Naive. A Headline that screams “David Duke and Tea Pary (Party) Racism” on the surface implies……what???

Ano, I gotta ask…have you actually BEEN to a Tea Party protest?

@ChrisG: No, I haven’t. I can’t imagine why I’d go really. Tax wise, I have nothing to protest. I thought of going once, but I heard paranoid rantings about infiltrators. It’s just not my style. Besides, my patriot costume wasn’t fitted yet.
[Reply]
Ano, I am just saying…I have been to MANY. I mean, i read what you say about them and most of it, if not all, is not true. At all. It amazes me that one can bash and slam but not even go to one.
By “infiltrators” I mean people holding up signs that stand out from the norm. They are easy to spot really…
All I am saying is just attend one. It is not what you think and write about here. What you see and read is not the whole picture. Yeah, you prolly won’t agree with them…lower taxes, less government, but calling them (us) extreme and racists…its not true. Yes, you are going to have bad apples but that is to be expected, right? The left is full of them but at least you are attempting to be open. I can’t bundle you in with all the lefty crazy morons because you don’t act like one. Same goes for the Tea Party.
However, some of your writings are a bit…WAY left, *ahem* lol. BUT, that is you exercising YOUR first amendment rights, which I support.
All I am saying is that you really should go to a rally and at least be a spectator. The Tea Party as a whole does not condone what you think, that I can promise you.

@ChrisG: The problem with this is geographically speaking, NY may not be the best choice to present your stance on whether Tea Party racism accusations are true or not true. NY is not middle America where most of the fringe element comes from. That may be why you have not witnessed this. Before anyone calls me a bigot, it is already well known that during the Palin rallies, what she called Pro-America was actually where a lot of prejudice comes from. Tell you what, you tell me when the next NY rally is & if I’m not working or in school, I’ll go. Yes, my blogging is with a left slant, but then, this is a progressive blogger’s outlook. Every party has a “a few bad apples” but in your heart of hearts, can you say that’s all it is? It’s not just one or two if I can show you hundreds of videos and images of Tea Party racism. Just Google: Racism in the Tea Party. There’s my citation. Chris, I’d love for you to prove me wrong. I’d love to know this country is not getting worse and that it’s more tolerant of other races than in the past. Since the first African American took office, racism has not gotten better, it’s gotten worse.

Chris says, “…i read what you say about them and most of it, if not all, is not true.”
And no Good Liberal has ever let the lack of truth stand in the way of disseminating disparaging, inflammatory and insulting information.
TXI – Come on. The quality of your commentary is slipping. Instead of quoting some silly, fallacious assertion about logical debate and discussion, why don’t you try to come up with something substantive to PROVE the assertion that the Tea Party is rife with Racists and Bigots as virtually every poll conducted points to a different conclusion.
I think the “membership” breaks down into three basic categories. At the top is a group of people that know exactly what is going on. They are educated and well informed and will state their differences articulately and back it up with firm numbers, sources, facts and figures in a logical, reasoned manner.
At the bottom are the extremists. The “Clingers” and “Hangers On”. They have recognized the popularity of this group and have attempted to attach themselves and their causes to it. Personally, I think this group is very small. And I think with time, they will be ousted.
In the middle, is the Everyman. The person that understands something is inherently wrong with what is going on in Washington and is frustrated at his inability to be heard. He has done the things he felt he should do but his voice has been ignored.
He probably doesn’t articulate his concerns as well as others. But he KNOWS the actions being taken by this Administration make no sense and he feels this country is headed down an unsustainable path. The fact that his Representatives appear to be ignoring his voice and simply forcing their own agendas on him IN SPITE of his very vocal and active protest has frustrated him into action.
The problem I see with you guys is you want to characterize the whole by it’s smallest and least desirable factions. And I feel that is intellectually dishonest. I feel it makes you guys generally cowards.
In contrast to your Socialist, Liberal Utopian Viewpoints, you attack the smallest faction trying to portray it as the whole.
You should be ashamed of your cowardice. Meet them head on with information refuting or at least addressing their concerns. Don’t try to mischaracterize them and dismiss them as you do.

I don’t need proof to substantiate an assertion that the Tea Party is rife with racists and bigots because I’m not the one making that assertion.
The Tea Party movement is incredibly diverse in terms of what they are protesting against and what their motives are, and in the level of rhetoric that is bandied about. I don’t believe that the racist radicals are the majority or even a sizable minority of the movement, but they do exist and they are there in some form or another.
All I am pointing out via my reference to the “No True Scotsman” thing is how Chris is able to immediately dismiss anybody who carries an off message sign as an infiltrator and not view it as someone who largely believes in the same messages they do, but are taking their own to an extremist level.
I think it is important for every movement to be vocal about what it is they stand for and what it is they don’t stand for, and what it is that they will not tolerate.
The Tea Party movement HAS been infiltrated. What originally started out as a Ron Paul libertarian idea has been co-opted by the mainstream GOP, neoconservatives, social conservatives, and a whole host of other entities, and done so to the point where it is getting impossible to understand just what the heck all of the protesting is about. You have people out there complaining about taxes, you have people out there complaining about government spending, you have people out there saying things like “keep your government hands off my Medicare” and it just goes on from there.
The extreme diversity of views and opinions of the tea party movement is one of the problems. It was good to try and gather in as many angry and frustrated citizens as possible, but eventually the number of opinions grew so much to where you can’t control the message of the movement anymore. And thanks to that, the tea parties are going to be rife with a lot of people who are making claims and spouting rhetoric that the vast majority may not agree with.
I don’t try to generalize the tea party movement and I’m pretty sure I have never made an attempt at portraying them as filled with racists and homophobes and violent radicals. But those types of people are there, and from where I am sitting and watching, the movement (being as piecemeal as it is with all of the different organizations making up the movement) is not doing a good job casting out those who are taking things in a direction that is not beneficial to the movement.

@Anomally100:
Yeah, racism has gotten worse. But not the way you are thinking. Now, if you disagree with Obama, your a racist. If you attack his methods, your a racist. And, I have even been called a racist because I said I hate Obama’s policies and they will do more harm than good. That makes me a racist? I actually said the same thing about Bush when he tried that whole NAFTA deal. I guess that makes me a racist against my own skin color!
If you have, or can make free time in September, you are more than welcome to carpool with me to Washington D.C. I’ll keep tabs on NY rallies for you.
Also…I don’t just attend rallies here in NY. I go to D.C. too. And soon I’ll be going to others in the “middle”.
You can check out my photography on the Tea Parties I have gone to if you want. And if you dig nature, I have that too. I’m a freak for waterfalls, lol.

@ChrisG: Obviously, there is nothing racist about you. I’m sure no one else thinks you’re a racist either. I’ve heard this complaint before with right wingers & essentially from most of them, I think it’s a lockstep complaint. It’s like this one: If someone mentions Bush, tell them, “Forget about Bush already” then in the same breath, every single issue in America is blamed on Obama. A lot of us have a very hard time with people we see protesting something that doesn’t effect them. A lot of us have a hard time hearing about Birth certificates when McCain’s citizenship was not in question. We hear Rush Limbaugh touted as, “Getting to the truth,” yet he says racist remarks which are defended by right wingers. For instance, Rebel. He told me to give him an example of Limbaugh’s racism. I gave him 25. He wouldn’t acknowledge it. Do you see why sometimes leftists think these things? Nothing else would make sense. I’ve seen tapes where the videographer would ask a Tea Partier what issues they have with Obama. They couldn’t name any. Someone would say, “his foreign policies” but when asked, they could cite no example. I could write volumes on this. In short, we are perplexed when Obama is called a Socialist. He is not a Socialist & are we to believe that this many people do not have a dictionary? Rebel called me a Communist. That’s crazy. I hope he’s reading this because he knows & I know the president is not, “socialist, Marxist, Maoist or communist” as has been suggested over an over again. But for you….you are not a racist and that’s obvious. I feel you’re misguided but you probably think the same about me.
[Reply]
@Anomally100:
Agree to disagree. That is about all me and you can do. I believe Obama has socialist intentions. I mean, the guy was a member for 20 years of an American-hating church and CHOSE not to leave it UNTIL he ran for president. Try and argue that one.
The guy loves the book, “Rules for Radicals”. ZING!
C’mon Ano, are you really just gonna sit there and ignore that? Is your curiosity not sparked?
And about Bush and Obama. It is called RESPONSIBILITY. And both need to take their share of it. Obama needs to be held accountable for the crap he does, makes, and supports. He needs to stop blaming his favorite scapegoat so he doesn’t look like an amateur dipstick who doesn’t know what the heck he is doing. I mean, why else would he need 30+ czars to run almost everything for him?

I’m with you on most of what you say, but I will take some issue with this statement.
Is it that they are not doing a good job of casting them out? Or is it that their detractors are doing a BETTER job of emphasizing them and trying to mainstream them?

Poor mr david duke. You take a secion of the acts dated back in 1790 where it is showing that the FIRST nationalization law itself was wrong and against everyone other the white men.:
The original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat. 103) provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to aliens who were “free white persons” and thus left out indentured servants, slaves, free blacks, and later Asians, as well as women.
This is not JUST YOUR country, the land of milk and honey belongs to everyone and you will share it.The 1790 Act also limited naturalization to persons of “good moral character”; the law required a set period of residence in the United States prior to naturalization, specifically two years in the country and one year in the state of residence when applying for citizenship. When those requirements were met, an immigrant could file a Petition for Naturalization with “any common law court of record” having jurisdiction over his residence asking to be naturalized. Once convinced of the applicant’s good moral character, the court would administer an oath of allegiance to support the Constitution of the United States. The clerk of court was to make a record of these proceedings, and “thereupon such person shall be considered as a citizen of the United States.”
The ATCS are living and change and grow…..You need to start growing as it is not 1790 anymore and things will continue to change for the better ever if you can not see it or like it. STOP picking pieces of old history that do not apply. BE OF good Moral character or as Jon Stewart would say<Go #ck ur self.

On the contrary, it is extremely important to keep Duke’s Nazi and KKK relationship as public as possible. Let the Teapartyers try to explain why they are not white supremacists.

That’s a good question and it’s worth asking. But I guess I could say that if the opposite side is having a better time emphasizing them, that would sort of imply that they are still there and able to be emphasized.
Not that I expect there to be a full blown purge of 100% of unsavory elements from the movement (that’s just unrealistic).

al1948 – Typical Alinsky.
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”
He further states, “…he suggests that the perennial question, “Does the end justify the means?” is meaningless as it stands: the real and only question regarding the ethics of means and ends is, and always has been, “Does this particular end justify this particular means?”
This is the code of ethics the left and this Administration operates under. Nice? Eh??
