Ready for your head to EXPLODE: David Duke supports Cindy Sheehan.
Linked from Horowitz's frontpagemagazine, the magazine that would be comedic genius if the writers weren't serious.

Who will be the first on the airways to mention it (unless I've already missed it): Hannity, Rush, Fox, Scarborough?
http://www.davidduke.com/index.php?p=350

I will not cut-and-paste here on DU; this would be akin to pollution.

Here we go. Here comes the moral relativism from the right.

I do not fault the mods. if they choose not to run with this post. Duke is human garbage.

1. A broken clock is right twice a day.
Hell, Bill Frist supports stem cell research.

6. Not a valid comparison. David Duke is a jew hater...Cindy Sheehan
was addressing an issue that countless terrorism experts have addressed...there is a huge difference.

While on Hardball(?).

4. The repugs. favorite offense is ad hominem.
They establish the ad hominem by linking the spokesperson to other groups or individuals. And they do it repeatedly.

Linking Cindy to David Duke? Do they dare? Don't they see the idiocy of this connection--both the real idiocy and the rhetorical idiocy?

7. Using this same ad hominem "logic"....
Wasn't Ronald Reagan (and thus all Republicans) a terrorist for supporting Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden?

8. Oh, boy. Here it comes.
If anyone reads this post, you'd better be ready for fierce objections.

I'll put it nicely: Mistaking apples for oranges, perhaps?

Didn't Regan actually support Hussein and Bin Laden? Didn't he actually arm them? How is this parallel with Cindy?

9. Don't forget...
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 10:59 PM by mcctatas
papa Bush, Rummy, Cheney etc. ad nauseum. I wonder how much they're paying the Dukester...(probably came right out of Tom DeLay's ill-gotten gains)

*on edit: Of course no one is supporting the validity of such ad hominem attacks on Cindy. I think it is useful to use an example such as the one offered above to show their hypocricy of the right wing. Plus, ad hominem attacks only prove that true logic is not on your side.

15. No, not the same logic
Ronald Reagan WAS a terrorist for supporting terrorists. The fact that Cindy Sheehan opposes Israeli oppression of Palestinians, and that that happens to coincide with a position Duke holds because he hates Jews, does not in any way reflect on her. A correct analogy would be suggesting Ronald Reagan is a terrorist because he and OBL both liked "Mr. Smith goes to Washington".

11. I've been wondering if the militias' mistrust of government
hasn't led them to MIHOP, even with the fundie fruitcakes in charge. Certainly haven't heard much about them lately, anyway.

12. I think they're going nuts about REX 84 and NWO these days
For some reason they think the UN has troops to invade the US with, too.

14. Wow
I'm not familiar with the guy but he does make good pionts with this. I agreed with all his points. I also read another article of his called "it's not about the oil stupid" and he's right. If you haven't go and watch "The War Party" at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info This is a doc about the neocons and how they are all very pro-Israel. They want the middle east to rotate around Israel. They use the Christianity stuff to gain votes even if they don't really believe in Christianity. Of course oil is a factor in all of this. If you haven't go to http://www.gregpalast.com and watch his segment from "Newsnight" about Iraq and the "elections" and the oil etc. It's really telling. Both films put everything into perspective.
