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.
What office did this wacko jog get elected to?
