Wolf Blitzer and the Art of the Smackdown

CNN and YouTube have combined forces to give us an early gift this holiday season. For some reason which defies almost all logic, Wolf Blitzer decided to interview none other than David Duke, the maniacal former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (though, as you will see, that appellation causes Duke to bristle ever so slightly) and Louisiana State Senator and Gubernatorial Candidate. Even better than that interview would be under normal circumstances, Duke was, at the time of the interview, in Tehran, attending a conference of Holocaust deniers convened by the always stayed and composed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. It appears Duke and Ahmedinejad have become BFF's over their collective hatred of "Zionist Oppressors" and "Israel's control over the U.S. government."

Blitzer is nearly incredulous to the point of disbelief with Duke, introducing him by asking the question "So, don't you just basically hate Jews?" And, as amazing as it will sound, it only gets better from there.

But don't let me spoil the fun, watch the interview in its entirety here.



Remember, Blitzer's an avowed GOP coordinator, so I'm not usually a big fan, but he showed that assclown bigot Duke where to shove his phony, ridiculous spewings.

Wow... just... wow.

I think a better question would've been: "what evidence do you even have to deny the holocaust?"

I mean, its not like they had photoshop in the 1940's to doctor those pictures of mass graves or anything.

fuck.

BLITZER: What do you say to those who say that you're there in Tehran at this Holocaust conference simply because you hate Jews?

DUKE: Blah Blah Blah.

BLITZER: ...Well, do you hate Jews?

I just about died at that part. It's so awkward/horrible that you can't help but laugh. Thanks for sharing :)
