So if David Duke were invited to give a speech at the inauguration....

Would we tell non-whites to just "get over it" in the name of "reaching out"? Just wondering.

1. I give this thread a 5.2 out of 10

The least you could have done was shoot the moon and suggest Adolf Hitler. (Pol Pot would have also been acceptable)

10. Bush will be there. He'll make up the difference.

While Bush could kill the whole planet, it is no longer likely.

He'll have to settle for the 1.2 million dead Iraqi civilians due to the chaos and civil strife
that followed the invasion.

That's from 2006. Bush may be closing in on Pol Pot's 1.7 million dead in Cambodia.

While Pot's per capita kill rate exceeds Bush's by a long show given a much smaller population in
Cambodia, Bush takes the prize since his 1.2 million or more occurred without anybody really talking
about it much here. And he kept the 5.0 million Iraqi orphans off the front page or any page too.

The guy shouldn't even be allowed on the platform.

2. Of course not, we wouldn't be so petty and bigoted and small-minded...

...oh wait, some people here are.

That's a hellavua lotta shoes.

3. That's different

4. I get your point. Don't seem to be a hell of a lot of differece, does there?

[FLAprogressive]

6. Nope. But to some homophobia isn't as bad as racism.....probably because they've never experienced

it.

5. K and R

7. Actually that would be pretty cool- rub the white supremcists nose in it!

8. If David Duke were invited to give a speech at the Inauguration...

Would all the nonwhites be calling all the white people on DU racists, bigots, fucking assholes, and other such names, simply for being present?

I can't really speak for any other brown people out there, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't. And I'd be busily slapping the heads of those who did.

I dunno about you guys, but when I come in to DU and see thirty threads all about how I'm a homophobe because some other jackass who got tombstoned said something unkind, it puts me in a mood. I'm no more inclined to "reach out" to some asshole screaming about what a bigot I am than I am inclined to "reach out" to any other walleyed foamy-mouthed animal.

9. Even worse, Ronald Reagan, if HE were invited I would be pissed!!! Warren is dick head, Hannity...

...would've been better IMHO at least we see him as a joke!
