BS...Duke was a Democrat Neo-NAZI who faked his conservatism to get elected. He duped some good people in Louisiana. There is no such thing as a right wing NAZI. Its oxymoronic!!
maybe reads it for informational purposes to keep an eye on those who want to kill his people, etc?
Doubtful. La Raza fits right in to the program.
If you can read this from “The Hill” and still distinguish between Pat Buchanan and David Duke, there’s something going on besides being on the right or the left.

There is absolutely nothing “right wing” about race-hate.
Where would you place Pat Buchanan?
no doubt about that... La Raza is a terrible organization
Meanwhile, if you want real race-hate ... you'll find plenty of examples in the Democrat Party members of congress, at every "black studies" university department anywhere in the country, at the next "Black Lives Matter" or "Antifa" riot, and similar. All of these are strongly leftist.
Pat Buchannans anti-interventionalist stance does not make David Duke a right wing conservative.
“Not the race-hater that folks make him out to be. But that’s an unpopular opinion around here, and I’m not going to argue the point.”
So you would place him on the right?
And yes, race-hatred is alive and well on the left. Is it neo-Nazi? Nazis hated Jews, not ‘whites.’ So I don’t think Nazi quite fits, do you?
I see it as a continuum that gets worse as it goes.
Robert Novak > Joe Sobran > Pat Buchanan > David Duke
Sure. But I disagree with the people who tarred and feathered him for a race-hater.
Not sure what your third section is about. If you want to find Jew-haters, you'll find them on the left in large numbers. The democRATs just elected a couple of them to Congress. If you want to find White-haters, take a look in the (all Democrat) Congressional Black Caucus ... or La Raza. If you want to find Black-haters ... Planned Parenthood will supply them.
Get the point?
Race hate is a leftist thing, like all other forms of group-think. Right-wing individualism is incompatible with race-bigotry of any sort.
The farther right you go, the more free market, libertarian, anti-intervention you get. David Duke is for NAZI Socialism, big government imposed racism which is leftist.
That’s why I prefer a different chart. Rather than left/right, it goes from liberty to authoritarian, in the process flushing out both parties as being statist. And that drives me to libertarianism.
“Duke was a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988...”
Huh?
