Poitipocalypse Redux

To be fair, you appear to post on a great number of threads without knowing what's going on. What's your point?

Bob, look at his rhetoric in the days leading up to the police shootings. I didn't say he PURPOSELY tacitly endorsed it, but his rhetoric sure went that direction and fueled the flames that led to the police being murdered.

P.S. Why do people sign their names to posts when their name is already on the post?

Duke's announcement came as the state is grappling with deep racial tensions after the shooting death of a black man by white police officers and the killing of three law enforcement officers by a black man. It also came one day after Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination for president.

The white supremacist Duke is a former state representative who represented suburban New Orleans for one term more than two decades ago and was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress. His failed bid for governor in the 1991 race against former Gov. Edwin Edwards was one of Louisiana's most high-profile elections, with Duke opponents proudly showing bumper stickers supporting Edwards that read "Vote for the crook. It's important."

In a posting on his website, Duke said he'd been "urged by enormous numbers of people his district to run for United States Congress."
"With the country coming apart at the seams and no one willing to really speak the truth about what is happening, the majority population in this country needs someone who will actually give voice to their interests in the face of an increasingly violent hatefest launched by the media and political establishment against them," Duke's website says.

Duke is a convicted felon, pleading guilty in 2002 to bilking his supporters and cheating on his taxes. He spent a year in federal prison, but later denied any wrongdoing.

But your follow-up comment about police killings of black men needs some back-up. that comment implies that every time a black man is shot by police then it was just cold-blooded murder.
