The conservative writer then suggested that Scalise lose the support of House Republican leaders over his decision to speak at the 2002 event.

Nah. They love him for it in secret if not in public.

Between this and the Atlantic profile, I suspect he is trying to seem like an adult. Wonder what he has planned.

Odd but true that itā€™s not too far a stretch from bigoted Scalia to bigoted GOOPer Scalise, but Scaliseā€™s clean up person says he was unaware and thatā€™ll be his mantra as he claws his way to the top of GOOP food chain

Excerpts of David Dukeā€™s speech at the EURO conference from 2002

I would be quite ignorant and oblivious not to have some fears myself about our ruthless enemy, an enemy whose stock and trade is character assassination, but who have also not shrunk from murdering their political enemies around the world. My commitment to the truth is far more important than whatever dangers I might face. Even in regards to my own personal safety, comfort and freedom, this work is what gives my life its meaning and I will do it as long as God gives me life and intellect. And, now that I have completed the most powerful book in the world exposing Jewish supremacism, perhaps they might fear propelling my book by creating a martyr. Obviously, I have no wish to become a martyr, but whatever happens, I will not retreat from defense of our peopleā€™s heritage and freedom.
