scott,

Your comments, minus quotes from the article, in their entirety:

Note to the Alabama Democrats, we have enough incompetent donk riff-raff in this state without sending us yours:

[EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE]

More proof of which party is the true party of inclusion and Howie Dean is not its leader. He should go over real well in the thoroughly democratic Newark.

What, aside from implying this guy is representative of Democrats and/or Alabama, would we take from your post?

I don't think I even intimated that James. The Dems always are the first to hit us on anything racial, misogynistic or same-sex related when you know as well as I that the center-right blogosphere and the center-right in general is very accepting.

If I can point out their hypocrisy, I will.

Pointing out that Al Gore's father fillibustered the Civil Rights Act is an example.

If you would've read any other post on my blog you'd have seen what I write. I read what you write, show me the respect of reading what I do before panning me.

Scott: So, there are no racists and anti-Semites anywhere in the GOP?

I didn't "tarnish" anyone except those deserving to be "tarnished". The guy is an avowed anti-Semite and racist. He's also a Democrat. I stated the facts however inconvenient.

yaj/Bithead: Agreed on the Duke comparison. True, Duke was the Republican nominee for governor and Senator but he was widely denounced by Republicans.

The Democratic chairman in Alabama has in fact denounced this guy, who's running for a comparatively minor office, before his primary has even gotten underway.

If it says nothing about Democrats, when may we see Democrats announcing this idiot?

Democrats for years have been lambasting republicans with David Duke this and David Duke that. Please do get back to us when we see a long line of Democrats going after one of their own....

It should be just about the time we see guess back down to 75Â¢ a gallon.

Its as silly as tarnishing republicans because of someone like David Duke.

If memory serves (and as my children point out I am ooooollllldddd, so it may not), David Duke slipped through the cracks by running unopposed in a primary. He was then the 'republican' candidate. Republican party officials took the unusual step of endorsing the democratic candidate.

The only way this really can be linked to the party as a whole is either high level endorsements, he wins a contested primary or he becomes the democratic candidate and the democrats don't disown him.
