David Duke considers run against sellout Steve Scalise

[Reinhard]

Steve Scalise first took fire from the left for his speaking gig at a David Duke affiliated conference. Now, Scalise is taking fire from Duke himself. The former Grand Wizard of the KKK took to the airwaves to blast the House Majority Whip for “selling out.” In an interview with Jim Engster, Duke even mulled a run for Scalise’s seat.

Representative Scalise was the recipient of public outrage after admitting that he addressed a conference hosted European-American Unity and Rights (EURO) a white supremacist group led by David Duke while serving as a state legislator in 2002. After blogger CenLamr broke the news of the address, Scalise ultimately apologized. He called the speech “a mistake I regret.”

While many, like Marc Morial, questioned the sincerity of the apology, Duke was outraged that an apology was issued at all.

Duke told Engster, “He said specifically that he shouldn’t have gone to the European American Unity and Rights Organization. That he shouldn’t have done it, it was a terrible mistake. He shouldn’t…what he’s basically saying is that 60% of his district, the same people by the way who voted for him that they’re just nothing but a bunch of racists. You know, I’ve said nothing at that conference any different that I ran for office on. It wasn’t a klan meeting. It wasn’t any sort of a radical meeting, it was a meeting that said there was European American rights, right? So he is a sellout, right? Because, you know he can’t meet with members of his own district who have opinions like I have but he meets with radical blacks who have total opposite political positions than him.”

Duke continued, angry to be compared with Scalise.
“Steve Scalise, let me tell you something, this is the way I view it now: I mean this guy is a sellout. I mean he’s a sellout. He’s not David. He used to say that he was David Duke of course without the baggage, whatever that means,”

As the interview continued, the neo-nazi called for Scalise’s resignation and then mulled ousting him personally. Despite his political views, the white supremacist firebrand is not a registered voter. However, his disdain for Scalise is apparently so intense that he is a considering getting back on the grid for the sole purpose of challenging the Whip. “Just so, I might have to run against Steve Scalise because you know, I really might. I mean, I’m definitely going to consider it because its so disgusting to me to see…he got elected on false pretenses.”

After all, Duke views himself as the source of the GOP’s current electoral success. “The New York Times admitted that the Republican Party won office and got control of the United States House of Representatives, essentially on my political issues. Opposed to the massive illegal immigration, the issues of welfare reform, so many other issues that I’ve talked about, and but the difference is with someone like me Steve Scalise, or David Vitter, you know the prostitution king. The difference between myself and those guys is that I did not sellout.”

Duke served as one term Louisiana State Representative. He also served 15 months in a federal penitentiary for tax fraud. He has lost elections for Louisiana Senate, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and presidential primaries in both parties.

Most notable was Duke’s bid for Governor of Louisiana in 1991. Duke, Edwin Edwards, and Buddy Roemer split the initial round of voting, sending Duke and Edwards to a runoff. In the second round, Edwards adopted the slogan, “Vote for the Crook. It’s Important.” The Silver Fox went on to collect 1,057,031 votes (61.2 percent) to Duke's 671,009 (38.8 percent).

Duke's beliefs are respectable, but he's not going to make much of a difference even if he won a seat in congress again. What is one racially minded congressman going to do among 434 or so non-racially minded representatives? He is not going to spearhead any major votes or pass any legislation that will save America. Duke's vote would be drowned out by all the other Representative's votes who are in the pockets of the Jews. The best Duke could do as a Congressman is to slow the impending destruction of America by a slight fraction. He can't reverse any of the damage done to America through the democratic system. Democracy doesn't work. It is a proven failure and it's why we are in the mess we are in today to begin with. It's time to forget about the romance with Democracy.

If David Duke succeeds again in getting into an elected office, it shouldn't slow down our Alliance-building and outreach efforts for even a microsecond. Every practical thing he tries to do will be stymied by the System. But, if he's clever -- and I think he is -- he might be able to do some serious educating through the "bully pulpit" of his office.

All the best,

Kevin.

I agree, Kevin. David Duke is probably the only guy on our side who can credibly run for a big office; he has a long track record and a lot of support. While the American political system is tightly controlled by big money and special interests and specifically designed to keep people like us out, there is strategic value in supporting a rare candidate like Duke.

I am in agreement as well. I do not believe that discouraging Duke, or any other effective White rights activist who is courageous enough to speak for our concerns, is the way to go in regaining our future. It won't happen by itself. We have already seen the results of inaction, indecision, incompetence, and fear. I believe it is best to ride the wave of voter displeasure freely handed to us by the Black, Marxist occupied government we enjoy today. I encourage and support David Duke's run, should he decide he has enough support to win. He's done it before and knows what he is in for. If it is true that "Fergudishu" and the bald overreach of our rulers set back the Civil Rights Movement by decades, then we would be remiss in ignoring this gain in common sense and racial awakening of our people. We have to start somewhere. I can think of few candidates better than the honorable Dr. David Duke.

What do you mean exactly by your statement that circumstances have 'set back the Civil Rights movement by decades'?

I just spent twenty minutes writing a response to Toward the Stars' question and it simply disappeared <poof!> without touching a key, before I posted it -- very discouraging. I won't be writing it again. Suffice it to say that Lady M explains herself just fine in the second half of her sentence, the part after the comma.

I would love to see Dr. Duke make the talk show circuit. Heads would explode if he got on 'The View.'
