when david duke ran for governor of louisiana he too hit on welfare recipients in his campaign ad. let's listen to that. >> i'll make welfare recipients work for their checks, get drugs out of their neighborhoods, reduce the illegitimate birth rate. >> when a campaign brochure for george wallace's 1976 presidential run, he says he would work for "a curtailing of welfare programs that are designed to pay able-bodied individuals not to work." there you have it. you are younger than me, maybe you didn't have to witness this garbage, but it went on and on and on. welfare queens, young bucks, food stamp sheets, always with a racial implication, everybody thought so. it still seems to do so. >> i think mitt romney finds himself in a position where his challenge is really upswelling the white vote. talked to a top republican who said that's what he needs to do. they obviously aren't going after african-americans, they haven't done well with hispanics. this is the last stand that they can make in terms of getting this -- >> you make it sound justified. that this is the only way they win is

michele bachmann were standing on the side of the street with a sign telling people to vote for david duke. said it's crazy that we as employees have a right to be free from coercion in the workplace especially when that coercion pertains to our personally held political beliefs it think so but not anymore in this post citizens united world now the rights of corporations like the right to use their employees as coggs in their corporate political speech machine trump your rights as needed individual in the workplace a corporation's right to free speech as become more important than your right to free speech. according to f.e.c. regulations and laws under the federal election campaign act of one nine hundred seventy one it is illegal for a corporation to force an employee to donate money or fundraiser on behalf of a political candidate but a case came before the f.e.c. recently of a union corporation forcing its employees to engage in other political activity that didn't involve donations or raising money but instead phone banking and canvassing the f.e.c. ruled a ok at least three republica

small town of jena, a parish that is about 80% white, that paris that voted -- the highest vote for david duke when he ran for governor. in the first day of school, they were having a school assembly. at the end, a school administrator asked students if they had further questions. one blacks didn't said yes. -- one black student said yes. can anyone sit where they want in the yard? it was traditionally divided by race. white students generally sat under the street. the school administrator said yes, anyone can sit wherever they want. the next day, there are noses hanging from under the tree -- there are nooses hanging from under the tree in the black students took this as a message from the white students. they acted in this bold act of civil disobedience were they went in a group and gathered under that tree and there was commotion in the school. the district attorney of the parish was called called in the statistical assembly. it was most/race. directing his remarks, he said to the blacks did you need to stop making trouble, i can make your lives disappear with the stroke of my pen. what fol

. >> this is david duke's new klu klux klan. still hateful and committed to hateful ideas but the difference now as i see it is that the violence is no longer directed against black people per are say. it is directed against our values and consciences. >> they have never been more than a handful of americans but consumed by oversized racial enemies. >> we are white racists and believe in hard work and believe in the family and we believe in fighting for our race. >> paranoid deluxe. >> the jews got israel and they have their racially pure state and they are doing well by that. whites don't have it and we need it. >> and always ready for a fight. in the 1990s they brought their hate to a parkland summit in janesville, wisconsin. and later continued spreading their vial message. >> the holocaust, did it happen? >> does it matter? >> does it matter? >> then on april 19, 1995 in oklahoma city, it mor morphed o mass murder. the murkowsk federal office bug blown apart by tim mowthy mikvah. >> this took that because that was where the

you look at the people, the american sorted of political universe who are openly anti-israel from david duke on the right to fringe voices on the left. sometimes infecting some of our intelligence bureaucracies or diplomatic bureaucracies. you sense that to understand that there's a -- there's a key not only strategic relationship between the two countries but a values-based relationship expresses something of, you know, part of an american consensus. i think it would be equally sort of strange to have an american presidential candidate come out and say i am for getting out of nato, or i don't think that we should have any foreign military presence in korea. i think it's one of those vaults or point of view that kind of establishes that you are in the zone of acceptable presidential candidates. and that was true, by the way, not only for romney or george w. bush, it was true for barack obama, it was true for bill clinton. this is emerging as part of the sort of consensus view of american foreign policy. and i think in general it's a very healthy view. >> peter? >> well, i think the real ques

>> the whole thing last night, i have never seen that many white people since i covered david duke. >ughter said dad -- i said what do you think of the speeches? she said i think they are fine but do not they not allow any black people? she has grown up in washington, d.c. -- >> bill: black faces and brown faces are only allowed in the convention if they are on stage. >> right. >> bill: and when mitt romney came in they loved condy rice alongside of him. >> you so the poll that romney has zero percent of black people voting for him. which frankly sounds a little high.

about the young buck in the line using food stamps to buy t-bone steaks, or certainly wallace or david dukeout welfare. welfare has been a classic tool to pry apart working class whites from working class blacks. it's brilliant, because everybody sees it who wants to see it. certainly blacks can't avoid seeing it. whites can deny it because it isn't technically racial or sectarian, but everyone knows what's going on here. everyone knows. this and now for mitt romney, who should be able to win on the arithmetic, on the unemployment rate, on the job creation, on a number of factors, growth in this country not being what it should be, for some reason has resigned himself to the fact that he'll get no black votes and therefore he might as well work for the working class white vote. this isn't prejudice on his part. there's no evidence of that. it's really about engineering the country politically. it's a very bad sign of this ability to still be able to do it in our country. it's amazing. in the 21st century, 2012, and what worked 60 or 70 years ago is still working today. say welfare, people t
