You forgot the important word. Supremacy. Duke is obviously an advocate of White Supremacy.
Hateful ideologies and propaganda are being accelerated and while Duke's banning is to be applauded, it is only a first step in the right direction, IMO.

Nice try. The white supremacist in the White House needs to be banned next.
If you tell a lie a thousand times, many people will begin to believe it. When you tell the lie a million times, everyone will. Just because you've conned a ton of people into believing a lie doesn't magically make the lie true though.

I have to wonder-would they have banned Robert Byrd if he had a Twit account? Duke is NO DIFFERENT than Byrd-both were at one point in their lives, prominent in the KKK. The only difference I guess-Byrd was embraced by a political party for that affiliation-while Duke never was.

That certainly is the MO of the white supremacist in the Oval isn't it? He has taken Goebbels lessons to heart. I agree with you that he has been wildly successful with his campaign of deceit and strategy of lying. Trump is a master. How this autocrat has chipped away at truth and honor and undermined our country's founding principles, its institutions and government with brazen lies and disinformation and propaganda is disgusting. Appalling that a president uses a social platform to cause social and civic discord and foment violence. Never thought I would see such a thing in the USA. It is truly a very low time for our nation.

When did David Duke renounce White Supremacy? When did he start talking about how wrong it is and apologize for this very special type of intolerance that has NO PLACE IN AMERICA? I had no idea he had stopped harassing fellow citizens of color and different ethnicities and orientation.

I must have missed that.

The Nazis in America today, hands down, are liberals.


Just like the Nazis blamed Jews for everything in Germany, liberals today blame whites for everything in America. We know where this leads.

Trump has nothing to do with the racial hatred that the entire Democrat party now endorses.

This is the human brain, on Fox News.

Weak response.


It's not hard to see the parallels:

Nazis blamed Jews for everything
Liberals blame white Americans for everything


As i said, this leads to NOWHERE GOOD.

David Duke refused to acknowledge the success of Indian Americans when Bobby Jindal (Indian born and raised in Louisiana with a full on Cajun accent) ran as a republican and won and ruled Louisiana successfully (he's more conservative than most White republicans and did a great job with the budget) for two terms. For him, if it ain't white, it ain't right.
