    Whether you want to admit the leftist/progressives/Democrats get more desperate everyday and now are left David Duke as some important political figure and can get them in a tizzy, desperation is all that it amounts too.

    When do they ever complain about Obama and Bill Ayers? There is an actual connection there!

    I don't believe there is. He might be a supporter of Trump, but I wouldn't class that as "company".

    No pb at all. I did want to note the issue, but I have had the same thing happen to me- that is, unexpected quoting by the site's software.

    What a lame bait-thread.


    Am sure I know the reason it was allowed to remain....

    Because The Great Flatu has the suckers hooked?


    It's fun to watch though, isn't it?

    None of the various news reports of the ex-Grand Wizard - or of any of the various neo-nazis and white supremacists supporting Trump - has suggested he's still "an important political figure."

    Duke is as au current as Sarah Palin, merely a kibitzer from the sidelines.

    The reason is obvious. It's documented that Trump's message resonates loudly with the hate groups, racists, neo-Nazis and White Supremacists across America because Donald Trump really is a racist and misogynist. It's obvious to most but not to some otherwise good Americans that have been duped by this man. It was my intent to shock them out of their current support for Trump by presenting documented facts.

    Trust me, I'm just as disenchanted with the "establishment" as any but I'm not going to abandon my principles to support a racist presidential candidate. There are ways to be "anti-establishment" without supporting a racist or misogynistic agenda such as Trump's.

    I believe many of us understand the disenfranchisement with the "establishment" that they feel because we feel it too. The thing is that we shouldn't abandon our prinicples by supporting racist and misogynistic candidates like Donald Trump because that is an abandonment of principle for most Americans. They're really better people than that but they've been duped by Trump into believing that it's not racist to hate "Mexicans" when, in fact, it is.

    Looks like the racist meme is still alive and well. And still as foolish as it was 6 years ago.

    No YOU do and comparing him to Palin is about as absurd as you can get. Why do you let him get under your saddle so much?

    You seem terribly concerned about the ex-Grand Wizard of the KKK publicly supporting Trump.

    He, precisely like Ms P is entitled to spout his opinion from the sidelines.

    My expectation is that The Great Flatu will now be toning down the incendiary, xenophobic rhetoric about criminals, rapists, etc.

    The neo-nazis and white supremacists who became so smitten with him will not like his now proclaiming, "I want to have a big fat beautiful open door!"

    Has Trump publicly said that he would support birthright citizenship for WASPs, or that he opposes it only for non-WASPs? If so, then I can agree. If he wants to end it, and end it for everyone, I fail to see the racism in that.

    Must be why Trump has a 25% approval rating among blacks.

    I'll preface by saying: There is no moral law that favors one over another. Laws should be written to recognize (but not to enforce) equality.

    Racism aside, to understand this, I scale it down with a simple analogy: Say I immigrate with my family to another place. I find and stake legal claim to a small island in the lake. I use the resources on that piece of land to build a small house, grade roads, dig a well, plant a garden.

    You are saying, as I understand it, that another person unrelated to me can exercise a "right of immigration" to come to my island, to share my house, use my roads, to eat from my garden, to drink from my well, simply because I was able to do so ahead of him? What right does he have to do that?

    On the other hand, I may need a doctor, and several farm helpers. Shouldn't I be able to interview people who want to live in my house and to pick and choose those who will bring the most value to my island? Shouldn't I be able to make an individual character judgement before allowing them in?

    ROFL is your reading comprehension that far off. It is YOU who is so concerned and me noting how it is of no consequence. Or are you just left with making things up now?

    And he still remains of no consequence other than being able to twist you into a tizzy-fit.

    Who?

    Methinks thou doth protest too much.

    Whether support and endorsements of The Great Flatu by white supremacists and neo-nazis is of no consequence is for the public to decide.

    Obviously, the American people have a right to that information, and they can then decide one way or another as they see fit.

    No one needs to dictate to them whether it is of consequence or not.

    Statistically revocation of birthright citizenship for immigrants only affects Hispanics from Latin America and Mexico and a few Chinese but no WASP's. It is racism in it's purest form.

    This is identical to the reasons behind revocation of voting rights for non-citizens that occurred starting in the late 19th Century and is now absolute. It overwhelmingly affected non-WASP's because the majority of immigrants were no longer coming from England anymore. It's also identical to the Voter ID laws that overwhelmingly disenfranchise blacks and Hispanics when compared to whites.

    All of these laws were/are based upon racism with the underlying intent to maintain WASP (Male) Supremacy in the United States which is why the hate groups, white supremacists, and neo-Nazi's support Trump more so than the other Republican candidates. Trump is the biggest racist of them all and the racists know that. What's sad is that other Republicans can't see what the racists see in Donald Trump.

    You seem to be backing off your tizzy about it now. Came to your senses of something?

    So what? You were the one giving him some credibility and in a tizzy about it.

    Who?

    And here I thought you came to your senses, so why do you let Duke get you so emotional? You feed right into to him.

    ROFL me thinks thou doth, you are the one so upset about a guy with zero credibility or influence on anything.

    As much as you fallaciously believe Duke has any and has convinced you he does. He's really gotten in your head hasn't he.

    And Duke has convinced you he is of some consequence..........just amazing. Maybe you should just stop listening to him as the rest of the country did many years ago then you wouldn't have to deal with these emotional tizzies he drives you into.

    No they are aren't: They are merely trying to enforce the established laws against illegal immigration. Trump never said (nor did he infer) that he would treat a White illegal alien any differently than an illegal alien that is not White.

    Pure nonsense. Neither Trump nor any other Republican candidate has ever come close to saying that "non-WASP" illegal aliens would be treated more harshly than White illegal aliens, and I challenge you to provide evidence to substantiate your claim.

    Why is this news? I bet many murders support Hillary that's in prison. I bet the drug lords support Obama. I bet global banks support Hillary. That's a more important one

    OMG nooooo. I have always voted a straight Democratic Party ticket. Always was liberal on pretty much every issue. This time if trump gets the nomination I will vote for him.

    People can call me racist all they want I don't care. It is easy to be a liberal when you have no real responsibilities.

    I think a lot of Dems mainly blue collar and those with children will vote for Trump if given the chance.
