Here's my blog on the subject, in which I agree with Duke -- to a point.

See? Duke is simply asking for the right to speak freely, and may the best idea win. How can you disagree with him? You can't; he's right. And by banning him you give him the opportunity not only to indulge his paranoid fantasies ("Look! Look! I'm being repressed!") but to cloak himself in the language of light and freedom....

Banning bad ideas merely gives bad ideas credibility and a certain outlaw panache.

Default So quickly forgotten

David Duke, now there's a name from the past I didn't expect to hear from again. I am going to pretend I didn't hear it now, and just leave it in the past were it disappeared... because it had no socially redeeming value back then either.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

If he is so pro-free speech why is he kissing Iran's ass? Free speech is certainly not a major concern of Iran's government. Oh wait, he's a white supreamist...so I guess the hypocrisy isnt quite that surprising after all. The two generally go hand in hand.

Whichever moderator did this, THANK you.

Normally I frown on moderators editing posts, but this cut and paste crap is annoying. Learn to summarize your links.

As long as it is really you talking, feel free to make your posts as long as you want. But it isnt necessary to copy a small novel's worth of material on here from some other site. Just link it and summarize the link.

Seems to me if one supports free speech one should specifically seek out places that don't have it and give a pro-free speech talk. Nothing hypocritical about that. And he's also anti-Jew. Iran is too. So they obviously have common ground there. Or do you need to agree with someone 100% before you visit them or talk to them?

I think I have to agree with ya!! Let him speak----let Adolf Ahmendenajad speak too!! Everytime either one of them opens his mouth, it only reinforces how dangerous their beliefs are and lets the entire world know what we are up against in this fight.

Default Truth is all that matters.

I agree with Duke. People ought to be allowed to express their opinions freely about the holocaust. Banning opinions that don't coincide with the official story only creates suspicion towards the official story. I have always believed the official story, but ever since learning that many European countries ban opinions expressing doubts about the authenticity of the holocaust, I can't help now but feel that, although vastly true, perhaps there are inconsistencies, exaggerations, or half-truths within the story.

Let the revisionists speak. Let them hold up their evidence against that of the official story so we can see how they stand together.


I also understand Duke's point when he compares the Jewish Holocaust in Germany with the Bolshevik Holocaust in the Soviet Union. The Jewish Holocaust gets far more attention than any other, even more recent ones. As Duke pointed out-- how many films, documentaries, museums, etc are there to help us remember the Jewish Holocaust, yet how many of any of these exist today so that we may never forget the tragedy of the Bolshevik Holocaust? Some say this is because the Jews use the Holocaust to gain sympathy from the world. If this is true, I have no idea. There's certainly to suggest it is possible, but that doesn't make it true.

Wow! It happens once every six months or so...
But I am 100% with JP5. She summed up the point exactly as I would have.
