David Duke: Rep. Steve Scalise Is “A Fine Family Man”

Racist-approved
Politics • Views: 42,622

I’m guessing this is probably not what Rep. Steve Scalise wants to hear right now.

The notorious former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke described Scalise as “a fine family man” with whom he often agrees.

[…]

Duke told The Huffington Post that he doesn’t remember speaking with Scalise before the conference. (He later told The Washington Post that Scalise was invited to the event by two of his longtime associates, Howie Farrell and Kenny Knight.) But it would have been nothing out of the ordinary for a Louisiana Republican at the time, Duke claimed.

“I literally defeated the Republican sitting governor of that state,” said Duke, referring to the 1991 race in which he forced a runoff against Democratic candidate Edwin Edwards. “I had a huge amount of Republican support.”

And even if there weren’t, for a member of any other ethnicity to call a black man a “monkey in a tropical forest” is automatically racist, because of the history of such lines.

Seriously though, there has GOT to be video of this thing right?

Shoot, as I recall people used to video record every darn thing. It’s easy to forget just how much people did record events, especially since now a days it so much easier.

If not video, there HAS to be transcripts, right?

This is interesting:

Democrat: Scalise doesn’t have ‘racist bone in his body’

Louisiana Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond defended colleague Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) in the midst of reports that Scalise spoke at a white supremacist convention in 2002.

“I don’t think Steve Scalise has a racist bone in his body,” Richmond, who is black, told the New Orleans Times Picayune.

“Steve and I have worked on issues that benefit poor people, black people, white people, Jewish people. I know his character.”

Over the weekend, a Louisiana blog reported that Scalise may have spoke at a rally hosted by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, a group started by former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke. Scalise told the paper that he doesn’t remember speaking with the group but that he traveled the area speaking to a number of groups about taxes.

While Richmond supports Scalise, the Louisiana Democratic Party bashed the GOP lawmaker and House majority whip in a statement. The party said the story is “disturbing” and accused allies of “trying to sweep this incident under the rug by blaming Scalise’s staff and claiming the then-state representative didn’t know the group’s ideology.”

Thoughts?

The thing is and props to Charles for finding this is that Scalise is quoted in 1999 as saying that he stood for similar principles to Duke but could win. Scalise is a liar. I have an impossible time believing that he had no idea who David Duke was in 2002 after David Duke had been elected to the same body as him (the LA state house of representatives) and made a run at the Senate and Governor. Scalise, I think is showing what we already know about many right wingers especially in the deep South that white supremacism is fine with them.

He knew exactly what he was associating himself with. Fact is there are photos of many prominent Republicans at CCC- Council of Conservative Citizens event and that group has been pretty much labeled a modern day White Citizens Council. Scalise is just hoping he can lie enough for the story to be forgotten about but the fact of the matter is that it won’t go away. You know that Boehner while he may be a jackass isn’t stupid about the optics of having a guy who associated with David Duke being part of the House leadership.

National Police Defense Foundation executive director Joseph Occhipinti chimed in to offer help in coordinating the demonstrations. “I would suggest that everything go through the [Patrick Lynch’s Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association] for any organized protests,” he added. A former agent of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Occhipinti was convicted in 1991 of conducting illegal searches and narrowly escaped jail time for allegedly stealing $16,000 from his victims. When the US attorney who secured his conviction, Jeh Johnson, was appointed by Obama to direct the Department of Homeland Security last year, Occhipinti rushed to the right-wing writer Charles C. Johnson to complain.

If you google image search that photo, it’s obvious it’s not ChuckyPoo’s. There are links to it that go back to at least 2010. Since I’m mobile, I don’t have the patience to track down the original photographer. But I’d bet they’d love to know someone else is watermarking it and claiming it as their own… Anyone?

The man had been elected to the LA state legislature and had ran for governor and senator of Louisiana. Hell it was so bad when he ran for Senator of Louisiana that then President Bush and the GOP had ti disavow his candidancy but Duke still got 43.5% of the vote and I wouldn’t be shocked if Steve Scalise was among those that voted for him.

Willful blindness.

White supremacy runs deep in the Louisiana region Scalise now represents in Congress. The 2004 race for Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District included Democrat Roy Armstrong, an ex-Ku Klux Klan leader and spokesman for Duke. Duke himself had mulled a run for Congress that year, having just been released from federal prison, but ultimately Armstrong ran instead. Republican Bobby Jindal, who is now the governor of the state, won the race in a landslide, but Armstrong managed to pick up more than 19,000 votes.

Whataboutism

Whataboutism is a nickname coined by the Western political historians for the tactic allegedly used by the Soviet Union in its dealings with the Western world during the Cold War. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the response would be “What about…” followed by the naming of a criticizable event in the Western world.[1][2] It represents a case of tu quoque or the appeal to hypocrisy, a logical fallacy which attempts to discredit the opponent’s position by asserting the opponent’s failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent’s initial argument.

Oh, the multiplexes won’t disappear. People have been predicting the demise of movie theaters for ages and yet they remain. No, what we’re instead saying goodbye to is the big screen release of all but the big-budget films. The films like The Hunger Games and Lord of the Rings which are guaranteed big box office draws. Films like The Interview will soon be relegated to digital downloads without a widescreen release in between, and no doubt will suffer accordingly.

And he still hasn’t got that apology from Chipotle.

He didn’t but the NYPD did, and the DM gave UpChuck some exposure in their reporting:

Chipotle apologizes after employee makes hands-up protest gesture as nine NYPD officers filed into the restaurant

The head honchos of national burrito chain Chipotle have apologized following an incident in which a single Brooklyn location employee raised his arms in a one man-protest against uniformed NYPD customers.

The ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ gesture got nine officers in such a tizzy December 16, they turned heel and left the store.

Contrary to an internet rumor gone viral, however, they were not refused service at the Brooklyn eatery.

And here’s Chuckles:

The amplifying effect of social media and blogs even led to suggestions the Chipotle company itself is somehow anti-police.

Pointing toward a decidedly unofficial Facebook page named Thank You NYPD that claimed ‘an officer was in fact refused service at Chipotle,’ as evidence, Twitter user @ChuckCJohnson posted the Brooklyn store’s phone number in apparent attempt to get his 20,000 followers to harass its employees.

Note that the DM does make clear CJC was wrong. Not that Chuckles will admit it, of course.

Bodies, debris located as AirAsia plane believed found in sea

The hunt for a missing AirAsia passenger plane appeared over Tuesday as wreckage and dozens of bodies were spotted at sea off Indonesia, prompting raw scenes of emotion from sobbing relatives of the 162 people aboard.

The Airbus A320-200 disappeared en route from Indonesia’s second largest city Surabaya to Singapore during a storm early Sunday.

All indications now are that it crashed in the Java Sea southwest of the island of Borneo, with debris and dozens of bodies retrieved so far.

Now Anadarko’s shareholders have financial certainty about what sort of a hit the company will take, and billions of dollars will go into restoring these polluted areas in big cities, small towns and remote rural regions. Some areas are beyond repair, however: for example, Kerr-McGee operated a wood-treatment facility in Manville, N.J., that used coal tar creosote from 1910 until the mid-1950s; now the state of New Jersey will get $4.5 million to compensate it for the fact that the area’s groundwater resources cannot be brought up to meet federal standards.

The couple gets a call from the POTUS, which in most worlds, except the wingnut one, is a pretty good offset for being inconvenienced. And the couple lives in Hawaii.

I did want to post this while you were here GGT, since I think this one will offend you as much as it did me:

The boss who fires women for wearing too many clothes: ‘Breastaurant’ CEO offers a waitress free breast implants and fires a bartender for covering up in a t-shirt on Undercover Boss
— Doug Guller, owner of chain Bikinis Sports Bar and Grill, fired a female bartender because she wouldn’t wear a bikini top on camera
— He also found fault with Jessica’s lack of enthusiasm for bar tending because she wanted to return to previous career as logistics expert
— Waitress Gracie, 23, was offered free breast implants because of her ‘enthusiasm’

As a ‘new employee’ , Guller shadowed bartender Jessica and admitted he was ‘p*****’ to find she has chosen to wear a T-shirt while being filmed instead of her bikini top because she didn’t feel comfortable.

‘That’s not what we do here at Bikinis,’ Guller added. ‘We wear bikinis, jean shorts, and cowboy boots.’

The CEO went undercover at his sports bar dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.

Jessica also confided that she was looking for a new job but was bar-tending to support herself as she was a logistics expert who lost her job when her old company went bankrupt.

Guller ultimately fires Jessica at the end of the episode for not wearing her bikini and lacking in enthusiasm - but not before offering to put a good word in for her with other employers.

While you’re here, if I may drag you off-topic: what’s the advantage of taking the PATH transit system out of the Port Authority and giving it to a third party?

The fact that this report got dumped on the Saturday night between Xmas and NYE raised an eyebrow or two here.

It’s the overnight thread, so no problem.

The fact that the plan got dumped in the holiday season and Cuomo vetoed the legislative reform package that would have gone in to effect had Cuomo let it sit on his desk shows that this is all about politics and optics, not about infrastructure or mass transit improvements.

Eliminating overnight service is a huge mistake for PATH. They’re considering spending more than $1 billion to extend PATH to EWR but want to save $10 million (if that) by shutting down overnight, even though overnight service is key for many who live in NJ and work in NY. It’d be a hit to the real estate values of those living near PATH in NJ since they’d lose overnight service. As it is, service is already limited, and PATH saw a hit due to shutting down on weekends for nearly a year.

It’s interesting to look back though at the history of PATH and how the Port Authority came to operate it; it was part of the deal for the PA to build the WTC in the first place and take over the existing rail service (H&M). It was never a great fit, and a far better fit would be to incorporate PATH into the MTA, which already operates the nation’s largest subway. There’d be a savings on purchases, benefits, and operating costs due to shared services. Incorporating PATH into NJ Transit wouldn’t realize nearly the same savings since they run incompatible services.

The real issue is that the Port Authority needs to divest itself of non infrastructure holdings - the WTC being first and foremost. Add to that rolling the PAPD into local law enforcement, which all provide similar services at a far cheaper cost per officer. Everything the PANY does is far more expensive than it ought to be.

We’re right back at 1999-2000, which was when the Port Authority entered into the 99 year deal with Silverstein to operate the WTC. Since 9/11, the Port Authority has fought to claw back as much from Silverstein as possible, and they essentially pushed him out of the 1WTC rebuilding. That was all about politics, as Silverstein has shown that he could rebuild swiftly (7WTC) and get tenants.

So much of the Authority’s current infrastructure projects are bound up in NY versus NJ; if NY gets money for airport rebuilding, NJ must get a similar amount for PATH extension, even though there are projects that are far more worthy.

The toll hikes also play into all this - as the toll hike fits neatly into the amount of cost overruns for the WTC PATH transit hub. So, for an agency that is suddenly cost-conscious about saving $10 million, they didn’t see a reason to cut billions in cost overruns on the PATH hub.

The focus of the Authority has to be put back on its rightful place - building and maintaining bi-state infrastructure. Building new capacity across the Hudson River, not taking over airports in Atlantic City or Newburgh. That’s what the agency needs to be, but it still remains a patronage mill. And we all suffer for it because they can’t move ahead with the critical tasks of building new cross-Hudson capacity.

Heck, with the PATH hub at WTC, you’re not getting a single new bit of capacity. It’s got the same track limitations as pre-9/11. And that’s to everyone’s detriment.

Interpreting the demand for equal rights and protection under the law, seeking justice for people gunned down by cops under suspicious circumstances is launching a race war?

The sad fact is that whites feel threatened by the fact that blacks have made strides, and these right wingers need to retake what they feel blacks have gained, which is equality. And minorities are still a long way from equality - recent events show that to be undeniably true. So the fight for justice and equal rights continues.

June 2004— Sun Myung Moon and his wife were crowned “King and Queen of Peace” in Washington, D.C. before an audience that included more than a dozen members of Congress, and during which he proclaimed himself the messiah. He also said gays were “dirty dung-eating dogs.” When questioned by reporters why they attended, many of them said they thought Moon was just giving out “peace awards.” money.

Gibson knew school shooter was white because “lack shooters don’t” shoot themselves; “they shoot and move on”

There’s literally about a hundred guys just like John Gibson in right wing talk radio. I swear. All these guys are the same bigoted asshole with the same shitty sense of humor.

Jeez. This is sick. These cops are disgusting. Read it and weep for the citizenry.

I can’t even pretend to be shocked. These cops have developed an “us against them” mentality and they’ll do anything to advance their cause. De Blasio needs to stand firm against police brutality. The cop who murdered Garner should have faced a trial, at the very least.

He was pretty critical of western style democracy too IIRC. But come on, this is the guy who thinks it’s perfectly reasonable to attack a man for his position on the police using his father’s views circa 1938 on Hitler but doesn’t think it’s pertinent to bring up that the number 3 in the House GOP leadership spoke at a David Duke group event.

Insufferable is the first adjective evoked by Snowden’s recent interview with Barton Gellman in The Post, but it has numerous cousins: smug, self-righteous, egotistical, disingenuous, megalomaniacal, overwrought.

Walking Dead Marathon. I can do this.

I’ve been binge-rewatching on Netflix. Just started Season 3 last night.

Lot’s of things I forgot about so far, glad I am rewatching. A few below:

Click to Reveal

1. When Dale was attacked by the zombie Carl couldn’t kill, Rick was about to mercy kill him when Daryl stepped up to take on that burden. Nice little Dale/Daryl connection.

2. I had forgotten about Daryl’s up and down relationship with Carol during the search for Sophia then the aftermath of that search. Really puts the current seasons relationship into better perspective.

3. Noticed a continuity error. When they were deciding what to do with Randall (their captive they kept in the barn) they decided not to release him 18 miles out from the farm once Rick and Shane realized he knew the Greene’s and went to school with Maggie.

Then an episode or two later when trying to determine his fate (again), they pondered driving him further out from the farm/releasing him but Shane/Rick who were pro executing him never brought that up as evidence in their favor.

Okay…just read through the thread and something stands out.

If Chucky C. Johnson is out to destroy Hunter Walker and the whole industry that Walker is part of (Journalism), then what is Chucky?

And if he is not shooting to be the world’s greatest journalist, then he has denied his journalistic awards?

Didn’t he hit the scene as a journalist?

I know he is a complete wacko, but just for giggles sake, what the fuck is he going to call himself once the whole journalism industry is a smoking pile of rubble?

Just trying to understand a mad man. It may be a hopeless endeavor.

ChuckC, in a rare moment of self-awareness, realizes that the only way he can call himself a “journalist” is if all the other journalists are annihilated.

Just a little note for the crazies of the world who claim that the Obama-monkey thing was not a slur. Yes, the Korean phrase is a stock idiom. However, NK has consistently used that idiom deliberately and specifically for Obama because of the racial connotations. (Korean speaker here).
