David Duke in Damascus to express solidarity with Syria
2005-11-22
Oh, THAT'll give Assad the credibility and respectability he yearns for, now won't it?


Former US Louisiana Representative David Duke on Monday expresses solidarity with Syria in face of the pressures and threats against the country.
Traded his hood for a turban
Duke told a news conference at the 'Nation's Tent' at Rawda Square in Damascus that "I have come to Syria to express my support to the Syrian people and their just stances...it's the duty of every free man to reject the conspiracies and threats Syria is exposed to."

He added that the pro-Israel neoconservatives in the US have influence on their country's foreign policy and have been working behind the scenes through their mass media in the US to hide "the reality of Israeli terrorism against the Arabs."
Trust a Klansman to stick to the "It's the Jooos fault" party line.
On the war on Iraq, the former US Senator said the war has created a crisis in the world, adding that those who advised the American administration to go into this war have been working to widen the scope of the crisis to spread it to other countries in the region.
That would be me.
Former Representative Duke said Iraq war cost the US 300 billion dollars, more than 2000 dead, and between 20,000 to 30,000 wounded, pushed America into a real crisis and raised hatred against its foreign policy in the world. He added that Israel has been practicing state terrorism against the Arabs, and the American people know this reality which "Zionist-controlled mass media seek to distort."

Duke questioned why nobody has so far talked about the Israeli mass destruction weapons and its violation of more than 50 UN resolutions while it continues to occupy Arab territories and increase the number of its settlements in the West Bank. He added that Iraq was invaded under false allegations, that the country had WMD which never existed.
Duke expressed appreciation of Syria under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad, saying he would do his best to convey "the real peace-loving Syrian" stances to peoples across the world.
Oh, I'm sure he will

The news conference was attended by President of the World Charity Fund for Cooperation and Tolerance Among Religion and member of the Russian Union of Writers Valerie Borokhova, Professor of the Diplomatic Relations at the Academy of politics in Moscow, Director General of Islamic Furqan in Moscow Mohammad al-Rashid, several members of the Syrian Parliament and Arab and foreign correspondents.

I suspect Bashar had better re-look his PR campaign.

#22  I predict Cross burning is going to be a big hit in Syria.

#21  And do we have to let him back in?

#20  I have for a long time advocated the removal of Duke from the land of the living. This isn't much in the way of anything new for him. I just wonder how we let a felon travel out of the counrty?

#19  The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin el-Husseini was a Nazi supporter during WWII. The "Hanjar (Saber) Division" was a unit of the Waffen SS which he personally recruited for Hitler.

Maybe David Duke aspires to be a modern day Grand Mufti of Syria.

#18  They don't have to pay their own airline fares. People who spew his (and other) brands of bullshit are paid well by others to do so, and their expenses are covered.

#17  How in the hell did he afford an airline ticket?

#16  Duke has incontrovertibly proven himself to be an enemy of the state. Invalidate his passport, prohibit his re-entering the United States and begin to root out all of his supporters here as well. Enough of this Nazi male bovine fecal matter.

#13  So now Jesse Jackson, David Duke and Farrakan are all on the same side. Go figure it would be the Joooos to root out the aliances! God this is better than TV. I see it now: The Klan, Black Panthers, and NDC all meet in Berkley for a peace conference. The guest speaker could be Jane Fonda, and Patty Hearst.

#10  2b, yea, ironic to the power of 2. But you underestimate the LLL capacity for cognitive disonance. We may live in a closed universe, but stupidity (and its offspring--moonbattery) knows no boundaries--it is one thing that I am convinced is almost eternal. Does not mean there is no recourse or that it should be tolerated.

#9  AC, I remember the shoot-out in Greensboro. I was going to Duke at the time and several of the commies were either graduate students or had some affiliation to Duke. Oh the wailing that ensued amongst the gentle lefties on campus. Most people agreed with you...give both sides more bullets so they could kill one another more effectively.

#8  The red-brown alliance is becoming more and more open, just as it was after the Ribbentrop/Molotov pact of 1939. We all know how well that worked out, maybe history will repeat itself.

Some years ago, klan-nazi hood-winks and communist moonbats shot it out on the street in North Carolina, leaving five of the latter dead. I wish I had been there, to pass out ammunition to the outgunned Reds, sort of an informal repetition of lend-lease to Stalin.

The Katrina aftermath featured an interesting example of red/brown collaboration. Veteran communist agitator Randall Robinson claimed that black people in NOLA were so desperate they had started eating the dead, after just four days.

The knuckle-draggers on Duke's message board seized on this as evidence of black depravity and whooped it up for days, especially since the report was "from a black."

What's a little barbarism and slander among friends, when the higher goal of Jew hate and authoritarian presumption unites such disparate forces?

#7  I can't help enjoying this moment. The moonbat left picks up a mirror paper and sees that they have become David Duke.

#6  It's just like we've been saying over the last couple of years.

The Far Left and the Far Right (in this example with Galloway and Duke) coming together to oppose the Bush Doctrine.

Guess that makes Bush a centrist.

And Arabnews.com is for sale also.

#4  I think David Duke makes a great play pal for George Galloway. They are quite the pair.

Eddie Jordan's claim to everlasting fame - convicting both David Duke and Edwin Edwards.

Knew it. Sooner or later the looney left would openly start kissing terrorists and terrorist sponsors butt.

I think it is about time to start dropping the hammer on these people.

#1  Nice to see Arabic News convieniently doesn't mention his membership in the Klan. Also see they've promoted him to US Senator.
The guy who wrote this might have a future at the Times.
