The past couple of days, I have been spending my spare time, while I still have a bit more, on some outside/related projects so I apologize for not being as engaged as usual in my comments section.
I must say that the commentary on my last post, William "Wheat Belly" Davis agreed to interview with David Duke personally, is both amusing and appalling to me. Amusing, because the predictable anonymous advisors have swooped in to offer their unsolicited wisdom on how I should best spend my time and/or what content I should put forth here. Newsflash! It's my life, my time and my blog. The door is up there in the right corner, just click on the X and watch your backside as the door tends to slam a bit ;-)
I am appalled by those comments critical of me for merely posting this information, and/or expressing my opinion that a NYT best selling author should offer up a full explanation for his actions. I can guarantee you that if anyone in the mainstream had granted an interview to David Duke, their ass would be toast, or at the very least there would be widespread public pressure for them to answer to the circumstances surrounding their actions. Early on (elsewhere), I even saw defenses of all three for going on his program as perfectly acceptable to spread the Good Word ... after all, neo-Nazis are people too, why should they be deprived of lifesaving nutritional information? While that latter point may be true, the former simply is not. When someone like a NYT Best Selling Author and cardiologist such as Dr. Davis it lends credibility to Duke. It matters not even if they only discussed the book and there was no discussion of Duke's beliefs. At the very least, they provide content to attract an audience to Duke's promotion of his books and DVDs of his speeches and such. That is reason enough. There are appropriate venues for sharing and spreading one's message. David Duke's radio program isn't one of them.
