Supremacists hope for boost from Obama win

[underpants]

PEARL, Miss. - They're not exactly rooting for Barack Obama, but prominent white supremacists anticipate a boost to their cause if he becomes the first black president. His election, they say, would trigger a backlash — whites rising up, a revolution of sorts — that they think is long overdue.

He'd be a "visual aid," says former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, in trying to bring others around to their view that whites have lost control of America. Obama's election, says another, would jar whites into action, writing letters, handing out pamphlets rather than sitting around complaining.

While most Americans have little or no direct contact with white supremacists, organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center keep close tabs; the law center estimates some 200,000 people nationwide are active in such groups. These observers think the prospect of a white revolution is fantasy.

White supremacists — many call themselves nationalists or "White activists," with a capital W — have had limited political success: Duke served in the Louisiana Legislature. And the public has periodically been unsettled by their public events, like the effort by uniformed Nazis to march through Skokie, Ill., the annual Aryan Nations meetings in Idaho and elsewhere or the FBI's clashes with armed white supremacists in several Western compounds.

1. I'm befuddled

How could the republican party get a boost from losing an election?

[underpants]

3. They get a boost from everything

Oh I'm sorry this post has not reference to John Edwards cheating on his sick wife ALL posts and all news stories for the rest of THIS MONTH will

Hold on

[BOSSHOG]

5. I chuckle at any effort

by conservative or moralistic movers and shakers faking outrage about Edwards. We liberals are hedonistic fuckers per the right wing. So whats the big deal about one of us fucking or dallying outside of marriage? Why the outrage?

You are so wrong in introducing a non-Edwards thread today.

David Duke? The david duke with ties to the holier then thou tony perkins?? KKK plus christianity, now there's outrage.

[Frisbee]

6. If he were a republican...

It would have been with either another man (not that there's anything wrong with that) or a minor (there IS something wrong with that).

[Hestia]

2. You know, I've been seeing more and more of such talk. I keep

wondering if some of the alphabet soup agencies should become aware of what
is being posted. I am not a narc, but man, some of these people are so
adamant about starting something once Obama is sworn in. Scary scary people.

[underpants]

4. I posted this even though I am aware that it helps promote it

and I think that is the point of this...from the scum supremacist's stang point

any news is good pr

16. I don't think this promotes it....

Cockroaches scurry when the lights are turned on.

When the focus is on them I think that if forces their closeted supporters to publicly disavow them and keep their distance.

They talk loud but prefer to work in the dark like all cowards.

[EC]

7. I wonder how they'll take it if just the opposite happens and

everyone likes Obama's policies and his Presidency. What are they thinking? That now that a black man is President he'll repress all the white people like Duke's ilk has done to the black people?

[SemperEadem]

8. someone forgot to tell them

the days of the angry white male are over. Time for them to climb back into their wayback machine and get lost.

[David__77]

9. Racists should be physically smashed wherever they appear.

Just my opinion!

[Finite]

10. ahaha

That's genius, white supremisists for Obama! If Obama can get them on his side..

[bemildred]

11. Nothing like a black President to give those White Supremacists a boost.

By this logic, we will never go anywhere at all, just stick with the status quo and hope none of the "powerful" nutball reactionary groups get upset anyway.

[Divine Discontent]

12. geniuses they are

do they not comprehend that if Obama wins, that means 30-40 million white people voted for him? morons.

[CitizenPatriot]

13. W

W? as in George W Bush?

Now it all makes sense....

and..yeah. if obama wins, it will help your cause. keep telling yourself that. I see you have the same capacity for thought of your party. God speed.:-)

GOBAMA

14. Bush wins, America loses

it defies plain sense- how can a big tough country like the US suffers getting beaten like the family mule by a sissygoon punk like the Youngster bush and his lovers?
-just his Harken oil dealings alone, which enriched him shortly before Harken oil was found to be worthless, should have strung him up from lamp post, but Texans just didn't mind getting ripped off in a good cause...
-he/his cohorts cheated Arlington Texas ratepayers bigtime, but again, that was just so cool...

"Bush and his team paid $86 million for the Rangers. Nine years later, they sold out at $250 million.

Bush, who put up $600,000, got $17 million.

Coercion

Johnston also tells of taxpayers forced to pay to eliminate their own jobs and businesses"

17. I'm gonna SCREAM!!!

I can't stand it. I can't stand it. I can't stand it.

Of all the things to get one's big boy/big girl knickers in a bunch over -- ETHNICITY???

I'm sure they would want McCain (the only man in politics stupider than Bush) to be president because he's white. Such excellent critical thinking...

19. this is some twisted shit, spewing twisted logic. "we let it get bad just to prove we were right".

almost Nader-esque in how twisted it is. guess it works. "See? We told you so!"

(NOTE! Nader was used as an example of the logic- i'm NOT calling Nader a white supremacist!)
