I agree with you. Most every post here has been a predictable Stupid Party pavlovian response to a figure that the leftist media they allegedly despise has conditioned them to instinctively hate. David Duke's views aren't as "extreme" or "racist" or "anti-semitic" as those held by the majority of elected public officials as recently as 40 years ago. If that doesn't show you just how far left we have drifted, and continue to drift, I don't what would.

Well, I think if you visit David Duke's website you'll probably see that he's really quite extreme with his racism these days - so I'd be the last person to say that he's not "way out there". However, you don't see people calling for the revocation of Quannel X's passport, or Louis Farrakan's passport.

We're supposed to have freedom of speech in this country.

Sidenote: Extreme times do call for extreme measures.

You're very wrong about Duke's ideas.

I grew up in Baton Rouge when he was at LSU (my mother was in graduate school) and he was very far outside the mainstream, then as now.

He's just a phony opportunist, who manipulates people and rips them off. Worse than the ordinary politician because he has no shame at all.

He's sleazy even by Louisiana standards, with his bleached blond blow dried pompador, chin implants, cheek implants, nose job, and eye makeup.

He got thrown out of the KKK in 1980 for ripping them off, stealing their mailing list, setting up a black power newspaper under a phony name, and selling pornography.

Even the KKK doesn't want him or trust him.
