Does anyone know if the Tea Party ever responded to this video? Do the points raised by Duke sound like valid arguments?


YouTube - David Duke Speaks to the Tea Party

Wow! That is a very scary video. I can't believe that the Tea Party have not officially distanced themselves from this man, and yet continue to say they are not a racist organization. He has perfected his hate speech over the years, and with his calm cool demeanour is undoubtedly even more dangerous than ever. Sounds to me like a campaign speech.

Unfortunately you seem to be ill-informed. Lots of people pay attention to that "clown." The white nationalist web site from which he speakes to white nationalists all over the country is located in your "neck of the woods" down there, West Palm Beach. The son of the owner of that web site is active in politics in West Palm Beach and was successful in an election to a Republican position.

I would have thought you might have noticed that the NAACP was saying in their message to the Tea Parties that the Tea Parties have white supremacists in their organizations, and named Council of Conservative Citizens, David Duke, and stormfront. Yes, the President of the NAACP used that dreaded label, "white supremacists." The Tea Party has not publicly come out and stated that they do not want the support or endorsement of David Duke nor members of the stormfront web site, which will certainly lead people to believe that the Tea Parties do, in fact, have white racist members. What would you say if David Duke put out a video in support of the Democratic Party, if the Democratic Party just ignored the video? I don't have to think very long to come up with and idea of what you and other cerservatives might have to say.

Having the support of white supremacists as well as having them at many of the large Tea Party rallies around the country could very well explain the racist signs when have been seen and photographed repeatedly.

Yes, he claims they aren't because he knows they aren't.

He claims "thousands" of Tea Party members have clamored for him to run.

He was a speaker for their rallies before they dumped him to show they aren't racist, even though he was cheered by the Tea Party in Missouri during their "state conference" (also the same group that endorsed Stormfront).

They claim not to be racist, clamor against charges of it...then let his wonderful endorsements stand without a peep.

Obviously people seem to think if they scream loud enough they will believe the screams rather then the actions staring them right in the face. I have to wonder if they really have taken that many blows to the head for them to delude themselves.

This is nothing new. The KKK and neo-nazi's have three philosophies. A bible in one hand, a gun in the other, and vote republican.

Who cares what this guy has to say? Why give him any kind of publicity?

I don't know if an unwanted endorsement is ever publicly rejected....it's usually just not acknowledged and ignored....and in the case of the tea party, there is no one being unanimously recognized as the head of the party to make a statement any way.
