David Duke was on The Situation Room just a bit ago to discuss the recent Holocaust Global Vision conference (aka, Holocaust Deniers United) and the Israel / Palestinian conflict.

Hilarity ensues!

In confronting Wolf Blitzer, Duke said:

DUKE: But you know something? You can't handle me, and you can't handle the truth, and the fact is, you are an agent of Zionism. You work for AIPAC...

A brief history for the uninformed. Earlier this year the Georgia legislature passed the notorious voter ID law, which earned Georgia the distinction of having the strictest voting law in the country. Woo! We're #1! In late October, the 11th Circuit upheld an injunction preventing the law from going into effect for the November elections. Read More

Today is the 37th anniversary of Martin Luther King's death. And even though his gravesite is just a few miles from the Atlanta Journal Constitution's offices, they couldn't find the space to include a mention in their paper. Disgraceful. What is also disagraceful is that this man, this leader who changed history does not have a memorial in Washington, DC. Help build the dream.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I first heard about this story, I thought it was too unbelievable to be true.

Maine State Representative Brian Duprey is the sponsor of legislation entitled, "An Act To Protect Homosexuals from Discrimination" Sounds good enough. Read More

As some of you may or may not know, Howard Dean and Richard Perle are debating right now on CSPAN.

Topic: American Foreign Policy after September 11th.

I think this is an excellent way for Dean to show that the Democrats do know a little something about foreign policy. Interestingly, in his opening remarks Perle described himself as a Scoop Jackson Democrats. You guys can use this as an open thread to discuss the debate.

In an upcoming article in the Chicago Law Review, the authors propose making it a crime to engage in sex without a condom. From the abstract (pdf):

This article attempts to make progress on both the problems of sexually transmitted diseases and acquaintance rape by proposing a new crime of reckless sexual conduct. A defendant would be guilty of reckless sexual conduct if, in a first sexual encounter with another particular person, the defendant had sexual intercourse without using a condom.

Haven't heard of ChoicePoint? My friend, where have you been? Here's the down and dirty version from Greg Palast for the uninitiated:

Early in the year, the company, ChoicePoint, gave Florida officials a list with the names of 8,000 ex-felons to "scrub" from their list of voters.

But it turns out none on the list were guilty of felonies, only misdemeanors. The company acknowledged the error, and blamed it on the original source of the list -- the state of Texas.

Ah yes, now you remember. dKospedia also has an excellent entry on the company. But what does this have to do with 2005? Read More

Update [2005-1-28 16:38:52 by JenAtlanta]: I've emailed the final list to Kos.

Yesterday, I posted a diary in which I attempted to update the dKos reader blogs page.

A few of you mentioned that it would be great if the blogs could be categorized by state. Uh huh. You people are never satisfied! So this morning, I separated the blogs by state. If I couldn't find your location, I listed you as homeless. I listed the blogs with multiple authors under various.

If you want your blog listed or object to your category, lemme know. Read More

There have been several diaries that have attempted to update folkbum's compilation of dKos reader blogs; however, none of these diaries have been successful at actually compiling all the diaries into one useful HTML copy and paste nugget.

Because I am a sadist and have nothing better to do on this cold Saturday afternoon, I'll attempt to do so. Read More

CSPAN is currently airing the DNC Southern Caucus meeting. All of the candidates have already given their opening remarks. Nothing too remarkable.

Roemer said he wouldn't move the party further to the right, nor further to the left. Fowler attempted to demonstrate his knowledge of the South by referencing collard greens / cornbread and the "redneck rivera"

First question (some guy from Michigan), why did we lose the Presidential race?

Roemer: First, national security. Second, values.

Dean: We lost on national security because we let the President FRAME the issues. And, we didn't do a good job letting people know where we stood.

I'll continue to update this thread both in the diary and in the comments. Read More

In the Fall of 1998, I entered the University of Georgia as a freshman. Like most big universities, MBNA sets up shop outside home football games trying to convince college students that they just HAVE TO HAVE their college's credit card. And really, how could I resist the bright red credit card with a black Georgia G on it? And of course, I got a free towel with my application. Read More
