David Duke: Lay off my bud or I'll tell you the rest of the pols I'm friends with.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/ex-kkk-leader-david-duke-lay-off-steve-scalise-or-ill-start-naming-other-pols-i-met-with/

Former Ku Klux Klan leader, Louisiana state legislator and notorious white supremacist David Duke says he has lots of friends who are politicians and has offered to name names.

/snip

“If Scalise is going to be crucified — if Republicans want to throw Steve Scalise to the woods, then a lot of them better be looking over their shoulders,” Duke warned, intimating that he would reveal his ties to any politicians who attack Scalise.

Pat's been a Duke fan since the days when Pat was Ronald Reagan's Director of Communications. Back then Duke was handing out Nazi literature from his Louisiana Statehouse offices.

This is not going to end too well for him.

In a way I'm glad to see how he's completely ignorant of what happened to folks who made similar threats about very wealthy politicians.

to the racist voters, that is what Scalise did. Now he is lying about why he went to the meeting as well as lying about not knowing the President of the organization was the most famous racist in Lousiana at the time.

Oh what a web we weave.
