Say, remember when the news media wouldn’t stop demanding Donald Trump disavow David Duke even though Donald Trump repeatedly disavowed David Duke?
I wonder how they’re going to feel about David Duke rushing to Ilhan Omar’s defense this morning.
After Nikki Haley called out Omar’s latest foray into anti-Semitism, David Duke was there to provide air cover.
Anti-Semitic birds of a feather …
I’d say that Duke must be Ilhan’s brother from another mother. But then she’d probably try to marry him.
Listen, the party that most aligns with the raging anti-Semitism Duke burps out on a regular basis was never the Republican party.
So his coming to Omar’s defense hardly surprises me.
But don’t expect any pearl-clutching or gasps of horror from the idiots at CNN or MSNBC over David Duke coming to Omar’s defense.
Mostly because they’re too busy coming to Omar’s defense to notice.
And you can bet your bippy none of them will demand Omar disavow Duke. They’ll simply pretend this never happened.
Fact is, David Duke is also in ideological alignment with Rashida Tlaib.
But, again, I’m certain the brave Guardians of the Truth won’t utter a peep about that either.
BS...Duke was a Democrat Neo-NAZI who faked his conservatism to get elected. He duped some good people in Louisiana. There is no such thing as a right wing NAZI. It’s oxymoronic!!
maybe reads it for informational purposes to keep an eye on those who want to kill his people, etc?
Doubtful. La Raza fits right in to the program.
If you can read this from “The Hill” and still distinguish between Pat Buchanan and David Duke, there’s something going on besides being on the right or the left.

There is absolutely nothing “right wing” about race-hate.
Where would you place Pat Buchanan?
no doubt about that... La Raza is a terrible organization
Meanwhile, if you want real race-hate ... you'll find plenty of examples in the Democrat Party members of congress, at every "black studies" university department anywhere in the country, at the next "Black Lives Matter" or "Antifa" riot, and similar. All of these are strongly leftist.
Pat Buchannan’s anti-interventionalist stance does not make David Duke a right wing conservative.
“Not the race-hater that folks make him out to be. But that’s an unpopular opinion around here, and I’m not going to argue the point.”
So you would place him on the right?
And yes, race-hatred is alive and well on the left. Is it neo-Nazi? Nazis hated Jews, not ‘whites.’ So I don’t think Nazi quite fits, do you?
I see it as a continuum that gets worse as it goes.
Robert Novak > Joe Sobran > Pat Buchanan > David Duke
Sure. But I disagree with the people who tarred and feathered him for a race-hater.
Not sure what your third section is about. If you want to find Jew-haters, you'll find them on the left in large numbers. The democRATs just elected a couple of them to Congress. If you want to find White-haters, take a look in the (all Democrat) Congressional Black Caucus ... or La Raza. If you want to find Black-haters ... Planned Parenthood will supply them.
Get the point?
Race hate is a leftist thing, like all other forms of group-think. Right-wing individualism is incompatible with race-bigotry of any sort.
The farther right you go, the more free market, libertarian, anti-intervention you get. David Duke is for NAZI Socialism, big government imposed racism which is leftist.
That’s why I prefer a different chart. Rather than left/right, it goes from liberty to authoritarian, in the process flushing out both parties as being statist. And that drives me to libertarianism.
“Duke was a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988...”
Huh?
