Lou Barletta’s Other Supporters
In a press release, Mayor Lou Barletta brags about the fact that he was able to raise over $500,000 for his Congressional campaign. In the release, Barletta mentions the support he received from several people. The retired Pennsylvania woman. The elderly VA Hospital patient. But he doesn’t mention, to no ones surprise, the support he’s received from his other friends.
Like David Duke, one of the nation’s most notorious racist leaders. Mr. Duke is an avid Lou Barletta supporter, and has issued a formal endorsement of Mayor Barletta. Duke is a former Ku Klux Klan leader and has written a book entitled Jewish Supremacism. What does it say about Lou Barletta that David Duke, one of the most despicable men in America, supports Barletta for Congress? Nothing good.
And then there’s the Eagle Forum, one of the most insane political action committees in existence. Several weeks ago, the Eagle Forum came out in full support of Lou Barletta. Among other things, the Eagle Forum is in favor of such fun ideas as passing laws granting immunity to men who rape their wives, illiminating Federal funding for child care, and taking sex education classes out of public schools. This is the America that they want and they believe that Barletta is their man to help them achieve it.
Yes, Lou Barletta has raised over $50,000. However, how much of that money has come from bigots, racists, and extremists? No one will ever know the answer to that question. It won’t show up on any FEC report. However, if the Ku Klux Klan and the Eagle Forum support Lou Barletta, do we really want him in the halls of Congress? I think not.
