Keith Olbermann Says Ferraro Sounds Like David Duke

Keith Olbermann on MSNBC recently attacked Geraldine Ferraro for saying she “sounds like David Duke.” Ferraro made the media mistake of simply speaking the truth that Obama would not be the front runner in the Democrat nomination for President if he were not Black. She also claimed the attacks against her were racist.

Here is my letter to Keith Olbermann on the issue.

Dear Mr. Olbermann,

I am Dr. David Duke and if Ferraro sounds like me, then well she should.

First off, I should say that I oppose Obama, Clinton and McCain with an equal-opportunity amount of disgust. I would rather put my fingers into a fire than pull the lever for any of these candidates. I will probably vote for Ralph Nader because he is the only one to stand up to the Israel lobby and our disastrous Mideast Policy that led us to the tragedy of 9-11 and the Jewish Neocon media and government orchestrated War in Iraq.

Yes, Obama is the Democrat frontrunner because of his race. If Obama were a White “John Doe” with an identical political record/Senate record and identical rhetoric, he would be a poor also-ran.

Even though he has had support among sizable percentages of liberal Democrat White voters, Obama has won most of his delegates because he has received over 90 percent of the Black vote.

Why? It is obviously not his policies. They are not much different from those of the other Democrats. For instance, in a state that should have been John Edwards’ all the way, Edward’s home state of South Carolina, he lost to Obama even though he was far more openly attentive to “Black issues” than was Obama who was trying constantly to increase his appeal to White voters while Edwards had an incredibly strong pro-black record.

And, it is not just Edwards. Certainly, the Black bloc vote in at least half of Obama’s winning states made the difference, and the Black bloc vote would not be there if he were a White man running against Hillary’s slavishly pro-Black record. Remember, Hillary’s worse half, Bill, was called the first Black president of the United States and the whole Clinton family has been adored by Black people across America.

Obama, then, got the over ninety percent Black bloc vote because he was a Black brother, period. If he were a White man saying the same thing, he would have received far fewer black votes than Clinton or Edwards.

It is true that a number of self-hating, White liberals have been ecstatic over a Black man possibly becoming President of the United States. So, tell me that has nothing to do with his race!

They see nothing in the least ironic about a Black man running for President of the United States who is a leading member of an openly racist Black church that proclaims its true loyalty to Africa rather than America.

So, everything Ferraro said was absolutely correct and it is a perfect example of America’s controlled media to deny what is an obvious truth when it comes to the actual racial dynamics at work in this nation.

Blacks can be for their own people first. Jews can be for their own people first, in fact even put Israel over America. Mexicans can be for their own people first. But Whites are not even allowed to defend their civil rights and oppose the endemic racial discrimination against Whites called affirmative action.

I like some of the comments you have made against the Iraq War, but your latest comments against Ferraro smack of racism and are in complete disregard of the truth.

Ferraro, a White women, has been attacked for saying the same thing that countless Black leaders have stated — that Black people are proud that they have the chance to vote for an African American for president. So, if Ferraro is attacked because she is a White person saying the same thing as Black leaders, that’s clear racism. She is being attacked not because of what she is saying, but because she is White and is saying it.

Ferraro spoke the truth, and if she sounds like me then she well should, simply because I tell the truth about this issue in media as well as on the website that carries my name. If you doubt this letter is authentically mine, you can go to my website and read a copy of it.

If you dare, I would be happy to debate this issue with you any place, any time.

I want to see Obama win to see what a catastrophe he will be. Of course, when he is, his supporters will blame it on something else -- racism, probably.

Olbermann will never debate Duke because he is scripted as was Edward R. Murrow the man he tries to mimic.

Olbermann reads well, take away the script that was most likely written by others and he is lost.

The only real drama left in the Democratic primary race is whether or not the inner cities will burn down a la the mid-1960s.

The decision has already been made (in fact, it was likely made MANY years ago) to award the Democratic nominee in 2008 to the distaff Clinton side of the overall Bush-Clinton Crime Family.

Perfect example of "white guilt"

I benefited from apartheid'

By Thabiso Thakali

Horrified by the racist video made by four white students at the University of the Free State and then humbled by the Australian government's apology to the Aboriginal people, Karl Gostner, 35, has started an online blog to encourage white South Africans to acknowledge the horrors of the past.

The blog, the apartheid apology, seeks to be a public record of a gesture of contrition by thousands of white South Africans willing to "say sorry for apartheid and contribute to the healing of the nation". According to Gostner, a similar site has also been established on social networking blog Facebook.

Minorities often receive more sympathy than the majority, especially if there is evidence of oppression of that minority.

You cannot deny the historical oppression of blacks in this country. How that past has effected the Black community today can be argued. OTOH, constantly claiming victim hood is never admired (at least not by most Americans of English/German background).

LOL!
This just shows how out of touch the old crooks are...both democrats and republicans.

It isn't about his color. The support of Obama began when Dobson's Unlawful Internat Gambling Act was stealthily attached to the Port Security Bill. Over twenty million Americans were playing online poker. Most are elderly people who enjoyed playing poker from the safety of their homes. You could enter a tournament for one dollar and enjoy playing against people from around the world for two to three hours.

Those are the people who are making the millions of small donations to Obama and many are, or were, republicans. I'm one of those. I've been a registered republican for over forty years but I voted for Obama in the primary and I will vote for him in November. If his name isn't on the ballot for pres I will write it in.

Obama plays poker for money and he's good at it. That speaks volumes for us!

Not entirely correct.

Ian Smith was correct when he said that an uneducated populace cannot be trusted with the vote. In that, he echoed America's founding fathers.

In the end, he was proven to be correct. Those words will always be proven to be correct. An educated populace is absolutely required for the ballot box to be effective.

Keep in mind, it was "the world" (UN, Europe, US, et al) that brought down South Africa and Rhodesia and led to the rise of the Marxists who are busily destroying both countries.

One might even say "how liberal" if one wished to blame a 'side' in the debate.

America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.

Ian Smith had issued his "Unilateral Declaration of Independence" on December 11, 1965, modeled after the American Declaration of Independence, and, just as Americas forefathers, had to battle the crown for his place-in-the-sun.

Elections were held, and the UANC, led by Muzorewa, won. Josiah Gumede was the first President, Muzorewa became prime minister and the country's name was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia. They were not under colonial status when Muzorewawas PM. Mugabe and Nkomo didn't like the situation and Jimmy Carter pressured to keep the sanctions on until the terrorists could have a new vote.

Smith reluctantly gave in, over his desire to maintain his longstanding friendship and alliance with America.

The runnup to the new election was bloody with rampant murders and kidnappings. The population was terrorized and they voted for Mugabe who promptly killed a large number of Nkomo supporters

Mugabe, then, took over, in a Carter-brokered plan, under which whites were driven from their homes and farms and in many cases slaughtered in the most savage butchery since the British were run out of the Belgian Congo

White guilt is certainly a factor in the Black Obama phenomena but it applies to lemmings, not decent white folks who can think for themselves. To them Obama appears as the only alternative to the white criminal ruling class who've been in charge of America since the JFK assassination.

I doubt Obama is genuine, if he hasn't already been bought by the Establishment he will be. He will be good for Jews. His presidency will bring forth a deluge of hate crime legislation and millions upon millions of immigrants from all over the world.

Most Americans who are voting for Obama are doing so because they cannot stand the thought of a Hillary or McCain presidency.

I tend to agree with you, but the mud people are not yet the majority population in America. Maybe there's time.

I believe Jews are a greater danger than Blacks. Some historians estimate the Bolsheviks (90% Jewish) took out 40-million Russians and Ukrainians after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Didn't Jews play a major role in installing Black rule in SA?

The Virtual Jewish History Tour South Africa by Rebecca Weiner

Early 19th Century First Half of the 20th Century Apartheid Regime Post-Apartheid Regime Institutions Cape Town Community Sites in Cape Town Johannesburg Community Pretoria

Located on the tip of the African continent, South Africa is famous for its diamond and gold mines. Cape Town, South Africa’s first city, was founded in 1652 by the Dutch to provide fresh produce and meats to the members of the Dutch East India Company, who were traveling between Europe and the Orient. In 1806, the colony switched hands and became part of the British Empire. Discoveries of gold and diamonds changed South Africa from an agricultural society to modern metropolis.

Jews have been a part of South Africa’s development from the very beginning. Portuguese Jewish cartographers and scientists contributed to Vasco Da Gama’s discovery of the Cape of Good Hope in 1497. A number of non-professing Jews were among the first settlers of Cape Town in 1652, despite restrictions against the immigration of non-Christians. The earliest evidence of Jews in Capetown comes from a record of the baptism of two Jewish men living in the Western Cape on Christmas day in 1669. Until the early 1800s, only a few Jews came to South Africa as a part of the Dutch East India Company, which required that all its employees and colonists be Protestant.

Religious freedom was granted by the Dutch colony in 1803 and guaranteed by the British in 1806. Among the first British settlers to come to Cape Town were 20 Jews. The first South African Jewish congregation was founded in 1841 when 17 men gathered to form a minyan at the home of Benjamin Norden, Helmsley Place. Eight years later, the first synagogue, Tikvat Israel ("Hope of Israel" - referring to the Cape of Good Hope) was established in Cape Town and is still standing today. Over the next three decades, British Jewish immigrants established additional synagogues, as well as cemeteries and other philanthropic institutions. Early 19th Century

Jewish immigrants from Germany and Holland arrived in Cape Town in the early 19th century seeking fortune and adventure. Some choose to join the Boers on their Great Trek into South Africa’s hinterland and some traveled into Rhodesia (present day Zimbabwe and Zambia). The Jews began building a commercial infrastructure for the Boer farmers and set up trading stations in villages and at railway sidings, which soon became local business centers. A credit system was established by the Jews to finance new industries. In the 1840's, Jews developed shipping, fishing and coastal trading and sugar enterprises. Jews were also active in the production of wine, clothing and steel. Barney Barnato

The discovery of diamonds in 1867 in Kimberly attracted Jewish entrepreneurs and businessman from all over the world. Because of the extensive Jewish trade network, Jews immediately became involved in the diamond and precious stones industry, many moving north from Cape Town to Johannesburg. Two famous Jewish South African entrepreneurs were Barney Barnato and Sammy Marks. Barnato founded the De Beers Consolidated Mines for mining diamond fields. In 1897, Barnato mysteriously died while sailing to England.

Marks became involved in diamond trading and mining and, after amassing a huge fortune, he focused his attention on the Witwatersrand gold fields. Next, Marks became an industrialist and developed Transvaal; he planted fruit farms and forests, manufactured bricks, glass, steel and leather goods, exploited Transvaal’s coal and established the South African Breweries. He also founded the town of Veeringing, along Transvaal’s border. Marks openly practiced Judaism and served as a mediator between the British and the Boers during the Boer-British Wars. Eventually Marks served as senator for the first Parliament in South Africa.

The movement of Jews to Johannesburg caused Cape Town's Jewish community to shrink to only a few hundred families, who mostly assimilated and intermarried. However, between 1880 and 1910, the Jewish population swelled from 4,000 to 40,000 with Yiddish speaking immigrants from Lithuania, thus revitalizing the Jewish community of Cape Town. The new arrivals were fleeing political persecution and pogroms in Europe. South Africa became known as a Lithuanian colony. Many of the Eastern European immigrants discarded their old garb and mores and adopted new Anglo-Jewish customs. While many started out as peddlers, they eventually became shopkeepers.

These new immigrants infused South Africa with a love of Israel and a strong Zionist connection. They were instrumental in the creation of the South African Zionist Federation in 1898, responsible for coordinating all the Zionist activities throughout the country. First Half of the 20th Century

During the Boer War, Jews served on both sides, although the arrival of English Jews helped out the British side. Some Boers harbored prejudices against the Jews, while others felt a kinship toward them. In 1902, the British defeated the Boers and, in 1910, they formed four British South African colonies. The British gave the Jews equal status to the other white citizens, giving British authority legitimacy among Jews.

Following the mining boom, Jews became part of the rapid industrialization of South Africa. They became involved in food processing; clothing, textile and furniture manufacturing; insurance; hotel management; advertising and entertainment. Jews also established supermarkets, department stores and discount store chains.

The Jewish community of Cape Town formed its own community organization, the Cape Jewish Board of Deputies, and, a year later, a similar board was created for the Transvaal and Natal regions. In 1912, the two boards merged and became the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD). Today the SAJBD represents nearly all of the Jewish community institutions and synagogues, works as a watchdog against anti-Semitic articles in the media, examines legislation concerning the Jewish community and maintains contact with diaspora communities world-wide, as well other political and religious organizations in South Africa.

In 1903, attempts were made to restrict immigration; a strong Jewish lobby was able to influence legislation and Eastern European Jews were allowed to enter the country. Between 1920 and 1930, 20,000 Jewish immigrants arrived in South Africa.

In 1930, increased feelings of anti-Semitism and the rise of Nazism in Germany sparked the passing of the Quota Act, which restricted immigration from Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Palestine. While not expressly stated, the aim of the Quota Act was to restrict Jewish immigration. Still, the quota excluded Jews from Germany and, by 1936, another 6,000 Jews fleeing Nazi Germany came to South Africa. The new German immigrants were integral in starting the Reform movement in South Africa, which was formally instituted by an American-born rabbi in 1933.

As Nazism further influenced militant and nationalistic Afrikaners, anti-Semitic organizations began to form. Another anti-immigration law, The Aliens Act, was passed in 1937, closing the doors to Jewish immigrants fleeing Nazi Germany. Further fear developed after the anti-Jewish National Party came to power in 1948. Apartheid Regime

With the institutionalization of apartheid agenda, anti-Semitism was no longer a major issue. Many Jewish South Africans, both individuals and organizations, helped support the anti-apartheid movement. Most Jews, in fact, had actually voted against the apartheid National Party, casting their votes for either the Progressive Party or the United Party. One organization, the Union of Jewish Women, sought to alleviate the suffering of blacks through charitable projects and self-help schemes. Fourteen of the 23 whites involved in the 1956 Treason Trial were Jewish and all five whites of the seventeen members of the African National Congress who were arrested for anti-apartheid activities in 1963 were Jewish. Still, the Jewish Board of Deputies refused to take a stand against apartheid until 1985, arguing that it was not a Jewish one. The rabbinate also avoided taking a stance on the issue until the late 1980's.
