- meuse, on 11/20/2008, -1/+7Whatever your opinion is of David Duke, his treatment was shameful. According to James Edward's account, not only was the conference cancelled, but Duke was evicted from his room at a different hotel by two uniformed police officers. The "anti-racists" had called in a bomb threat, and the hotel management decided that Duke was a security threat.
Imagine the outrage there would be if Jesse Jackson, or any black man for that matter, had been evicted from his hotel room and thrown on the street because a white person made a threatening phone call. It would be all over the national news, and there would be protests and boycotts of the hotel.

I don't care what the message is personally people don't have to like it. However to violate someone else's Constitutional Rights to the 1st Amendment is wrong. From what I have learned so far is this was a peaceful conference to discuss the issues that affect "European-Americans." What is wrong with that? - le0pardess, on 11/20/2008, -1/+5Every other race can (((scream))) rights and pride except European-American. *****. I will NEVER be reduced into thinking that I should not be proud of being White.
Looks like Mr. Duke has a discrimination case against them.
The Marriott won't be getting my fiat toilet paper money, ever. - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+5Thanks for the information a while back on Duke. I had not a clue who this person was. I have done my homework.
- sheeplescareme, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4it is just like oxford university's decision to invite shimon peres to speak yesterday, and to launch a lecture series in his honour.
peres has been personally responsible for numerous crimes and human rights, including playing a leading personal role in the 1948 ethnic cleansing of palestine as the man responsible for purchasing weapons and supplies for the haganah forces and its militias, being called the father of the israeli nuclear project, playing the leading role in establishing the dimona nuclear reactor, and thus introducing nuclear weapons for the first time into the middle east. he played a critical role in launching the 1956 tripartite aggression (suez crisis) against egypt, a war that caused thousands of innocent casualties. he was implicated in the lavon affair, he was an enthusiastic supporter of the settlers/colonists that established the early settlements in the west bank in the 1970's, playing a role in creating one of the biggest obstacles to future peace. he was responsible (as the israeli prime minister at the time), for the qana massacre of 1996, during which israel intentionally bombed a known un site, killing and injuring hundreds of lebanese civilians. during his tenure as israeli prime minister, he was responsible for a vast expansion in illegal israeli settlements constructed over occupied palestinian lands, he was foreign minister in sharon's cabinet that inflicted death, injury, and imprisonment on tens of thousands of palestinians during the most recent intifada (peres voted on many of the decisions that caused this dark outcome and supported without reserve ariel sharon's militaristic and oppressive approach). he currently presides over a state that is establishing one of the most comprehensive apartheid systems in human history (using walls, trenches, checkpoints, electrified wire fences and brute armed force, effectively turning that area into a prison).
but hey, no problem. brown people don't deserve basic human rights and dignities. - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+4Betty20 - It is funny once the MSM has set the tone on a person such as Duke in the eyes of the public (who believe every thing the MSM, ADL, SPLC, etc.. lies about) it is than OK that this person is denied equal rights under the law because they have branded him as a "Nazi, bigot, racist, pond scum, lower than an animal" and thus NOT entitled to equal rights under the law but are then gleefully denied them as he is un-worthy of them. It makes me sick.
America is NOT a free country and has not been for a very long time.
Think about it this way. Suppose the MSM is correct in their analogy of Duke and everything were true. He is still entitled to equall rights under the law REGARDLESS. - inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+3Excellent Erich, thanks!
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -2/+4David Duke is labeled a "racist" or "white supremacist". That's all it seems to take in our "society", a label. Yet Byrd sits in office today as a lawmaker, a former KKK member ( who by the way was "outed" AFTER he called for Clinton to step down!...... funny that).
As a student I was told to listen to both sides to form my own opinion. I've listened to Dr. Duke, he's absolutely NOT what they've said he is. LISTEN, then draw your own opinion.
