You can take the Louisiana GOP out of David Duke, but you can't take the David Duke out of the Louisiana GOP.

You libs have to go back 12 years to find fault with a guy?

I hugged a black woman last Veteran's Day. Her daughter was a 4.0
student in one of the JA groups I advised. And I had an interesting
conversation with Tony Dorsett a few years ago. Do I really have to
call you a honkey?

I'm not going to read the rules - I'll play by my own.

the problem really is that instead of saying he sees things differently now, his team is getting the word out that he "may not have known" who he was talking to. So either he was a racist or a rather dimwitted guy. And now, with this strategy, he comes off as currently dishonest.

Then: racist or stupid or both
Now: a liar

that's not exactly what you want in a high-ranking Party official. And yes, I'm aware of parallels in the Democratic Party. But at some point we should focus on each case instead of hiding behind "well your guys do it too!!!"

This. Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a politician readily admit "Yeah, that prolly wasn't the bestest idea. Blah blah blah"?

Hopefully people become less dimwitted as they mature. He's not *still* attending Klan meetings, verdad?

I agree with the last statement because I think it is defensive and a
loser. I believe in making the other guy play defense.

As for what I want in politics, I want tough people who are willing to
go to any lengths to destroy liberals. They are more destructive than
any war this country has ever faced. Patty-cake doesn't work.

That would be a surprise. If it's really good how can you not beat
them?

Somewhere out there I bet there is a video, or at least a transcript, of what he said to this fine group. That just might demonstrate that he hit the trifecta: racist, stoopid and a liar.

I believe you're making the comparison of a current high ranking official of the Republican Party with a couple of old dead guys.
