Duke did everything he could put his KKK and nazi past behind him, insisted that he had changed, spouted exactly ZERO racism during the campaigns, stated over and over that he was inclusive and loved black people bla bla bla, and ran against the most corrupt governor in the history of the universe.

Why? So I can find out that Duke is a bigot?

I already know that.

My point is that those who voted for him were not necessarily "nutballs."

His campaign was not racist or bigoted in any way, and few of those who voted for him knew much of anything about his bigotry. His campaign was one of the most straightforward conservative messages I have ever heard. Based on what he said during the campaign alone -- lower taxes, reduced government spending, elimination of affirmative action, balanced budget, pro-life, etc -- I would have voted for him if I didn't know who he was deep down.

You can't compare that to this whackjob advocating the extermination of an entire race.
