Understanding David Duke

David Duke, former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, gets upset when you mention his past. In virtually everything he writes and speaks, he claims Jews and others hate and oppose him because he tells the truth. However Duke's writings and speeches are filled with hundreds of lies, half-truths, distortions, tenuous links, very selective reporting and personal opinion. This has been the art of Nazi propoganda since the 1930s. SOME OF DAVID DUKE'S LIES David Duke's books are filled with fake quotes from the Talmud. Fake quotes which originated with Joseph Goebbels of Nazi Germany. Duke even claims that the Talmud is the holiest book in Judaism. (another blatent lie from Nazi Germany). What Duke doesn't mention is that the Talmud is a collection of ancient commentary from rabbis with a wide range of contradicting opinions regarding religious law.

Truth Stranger Than Any Fiction

I just finished reading The Rise of David Duke. It was one of the best books I've ever read. It was an illuminating tale about an important character from the late 20th century. The book was both educational and easy to read. I would recommend it to anyone who truly wants to understand David Duke. This is not a story that Duke would want told. Written by a top flight, Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporter, it is meticulously researched, speaking truth stranger than any fiction.
