Congressional hopeful Barron endorsed by former KKK leader Duke
Congressional contender and black activist Charles Barron has been endorsed by the last man in America he'd want as a supporter -- former KKK leader David Duke.
In a bizarre video rant posted on his website, Duke named Barron as his choice to succeed Brooklyn Rep. Ed Towns, citing Barron as a like-minded foe of Israel and the supposedly all-powerful Zionist establishment.
"I certainly agree with Barron that Israel is the worst rogue terrorist state on Earth," said Duke.
He described Barron's opponent, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, as "a complete Zionist sellout."

Charles Barron.
"So in a race for Congress between an anti-Zionist black activist and a black activist who is a bought and paid for Zionist Uncle Tom, I'll take the anti-Zionist any day," added Duke.
Jeffries quickly attacked his comments as repugnant.
"Hate and extreme rhetoric have no place in our society. We denounce David Duke's remarks in its entirety and urge the other candidate in this race to do the same," said Jeffries spokeswoman Lupe Todd.
Barron refused to respond to what he described as "foolishness and stupidity."
"I'm insisting that you deal with the intelligent, critical issues of our campaign," he said. "Our people are suffering from poverty, foreclosure, skyrocketing unemployment. We're talking about wars abroad where people are dying and money's being wasted. We're dealing with serious issues. I'm not responding to stupidity."
Duke's endorsement couldn't come at a worse time for Barron, a City Councilman who is mounting a surprisingly strong challenge to Jeffries.
Fearful Jewish leaders are trying to energize Jewish voters in the 8th Congressional District to go to then polls to defeat Barron, who has been moderating his rhetoric in the last few weeks in hopes of attracting white and middle-of-the-road voters. The primary is Tuesday.
Speaking to a rally demanding reparations for slavery in 2002, Barron wasn't as judicious as he is these days.
"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him, just for my mental health," he told a crowd of more than 2,000.
Duke, as polarizing a figure as there is in politics, found time in his eight-and-a half minute video to go after Goldman Sachs, the film-making Weinstein brothers, casino executive Sheldon Adelson and the "Zionist Club Fed."
"In this election of limited choices, I believe Charles Barron is the best choice," concluded Duke.
