They're not exactly rooting for him, but prominent white supremacists anticipate a boost to their cause if Barack Obama becomes the first black president.
Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, of Louisiana, said Democrat Obama would be a "visual aid" to the idea that whites have lost control of America.
Duke, once a Democrat who became a Republican in 1988 and served in the Louisiana House of Representatives, posted an essay on his Web site in June titled, "Obama Wins Demo Nomination: A Black Flag for White America."
Obama "will be a clear signal for millions of our people," Duke wrote. "Obama is a visual aid for White Americans who just don't get it yet that we have lost control of our country, and unless we get it back we are heading for complete annihilation as a people."
Bullshit. I've chided racists like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson for years now, and sometimes you have to look at your own people and publicly shame them as well.
The only thing "we" would have lost control over is the White House as a Republican party. And if we did, we deserved it. We have lost track of what we believe in as a political party. Lesser government involvment in people's lives, lower taxes, and less spending.
To decry it as anything else is stupid.
And David Duke is a fucking moron. I'm ashamed he ever tried to call himself a Republican.
