Dukkke supporter elected to governing arm of La. state GOP
the same La. GOP that is poised to put Rep. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (R-LA01) in the governor's office. Go figure. :eyes:

The Flaming Liberal sent me an email alerting me to Tuesday's "Briefing Book" section of the Times Picayune which reports that

Veteran conservative radio talk show host Keith Rush, 75, has been elected to the Republican State Central Committee, the governing arm of the state Republican Party. Rush was nominated by fellow broadcaster and Kenner Mayor Ed Muniz and longtime party activist Vincent Bruno for a seat that covers a district in Metairie. Rush was unopposed and was installed Saturday during the committee's quarterly meeting.

In his email, the Flaming Liberal added more background about Keith Rush and Vincent Bruno:

Keith Rush... was a "featured" guest speaker for David Duke, the cross burning, Nazi uniform wearing, Jew hating, white power shouting, KKK Imperial Wizard, at "Duke Fest" at the old City Park Driving Range in New Orleans on July 4, 1991... Keith Rush was in David Duke's inner circle of political supporters and now the Republican Party welcomes this vile "piece of vermin" to a high ranking position in the Republican Party! And Vincent Bruno was the "spiritual" advisor (no joke) to David Duke and Bruno holds "two" current positions in the Louisiana Republican Party!!!!!!


Dukkke... rhymes with :puke: :puke: :puke: July 4, 1991?! Ye gods! (only weeks after I left the city, or you know I'd've been there exercising my First Amendment rights!)

The truly scary part:

Rush told the committee he changed parties on the air more than a decade ago by having former Jefferson Parish Registrar of Voters Sam Altobello bring him a change-of-party form and witness him signing it. Rush said dozens of his listeners followed suit, jumping from the Democratic to the Republican Party after his on-air switch.

So this Nazi POS was once a Dem?! :wtf:

1. Not even an attempt at a pretense of not being racist.
That's what happens when power corrupts and people let it.
