Holy shit, those ads are horrifying. Is the distortion of the last ten seconds of the first video intentional?

Extremely telling that the second link he recommends is David Duke's website. Big ol' red flag.

CNN just posted a really interesting editorial about how the media response would have changed if the dude would have yelled "Allahu Akbar" instead of "Heil Hitler."

it's a conversation the media should be having but right-wing commentators, Fox Nation posters and certain republican politicians would derail it. i'm surprised cnn even posted it, but they probably only did to get views and clicks from angry trolls.

I know Rachel Maddow devoted half her show last night to that topic, which was really fascinating. She put it all in a historical perspective- how this dude's been part of the white supremacist movement for a really long time and had to change his name because he ratted on a bunch of them.

CNN would never in a million years actually address that point on TV, but their blogs are usually a different story, so it doesn't surprise me it was posted there. (IIRC, they're also often fairly loosely affiliated with CNN proper.) But yeah, the comments were... extra charming.
