Former GOP lawmaker, KKK member David Duke arrested in Prague
By GottaLaff

[F]ormer Republican state lawmaker, and KKK leader, David Duke, was arrested in Prague for denying the Holocaust. It's a crime punishable by three years in prison. [...] [I]t's understandable why the Czech Republic would have laws against Holocaust denial. Though I am waiting for the religious right to now come to the rescue of their poor soulmate. After all, he's a bigot being persecuted under hate speech laws. And you know how the religious right is all up in arms over European hate speech laws. Perhaps some intrepid reporter should ask the Concerned Women for America, Focus on the Family, and the Family Research Council how they feel about David Duke's arrest under hate speech laws.I'm having fantasies about the same thing happening to BushCo. Here are few more details:
The former leader of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), David Duke, arrested Friday afternoon in Prague, was released in the night and will be forced to leave the country during the day of Saturday, police said. [...]H/t: I forget which Commenter, but thank you!
David Duke, 59, was charged with supporting a movement to suppress human rights and fundamental freedoms. After his arrest in the restaurant ‘Black Eagle’ in the old Prague, he was interrogated for several hours.
Quoted Saturday by the agency CTK, the Czech lawyer of the former leader of the KKK, Klara Samkova, said she would make a complaint against the police in Prague.

This is the longest video I can find right now, if you see the complete one, leave me a note in comments and I'll update. Via Taegan-
Speaking in Prague, President Obama on Sunday "launched an effort to rid the world of nuclear weapons, calling them 'the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War' and saying the U.S. has a moral responsibility to lead as the only nation to ever use one," the AP reports.Laffy Update: Here's the text, courtesy of RealLegalAlien.
"In a speech driven with fresh urgency by North Korea's rocket launch just hours early, Obama said the U.S. would 'immediately and aggressively' seek ratification of a comprehensive ban on testing nuclear weapons. He said the U.S. would host a summit within the next year on reducing and eventually eliminating nuclear weapons, and he called for a global effort to secure nuclear material."
The BBC estimated the crowd for Obama's speech at more than 20,000.
