“In December 1988, he switched political affiliation from Democratic to Republican.

Duke is a self-styled “white nationalist”, but his critics commonly refer to him as a white supremacist.

Duke went on to study at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and in 1970, he formed a White student group known as the White Youth Alliance, which was affiliated with the National Socialist White People’s Party. That same year, he became well-known for a demonstration in which he wore swastika regalia to protest William Kunstler’s appearance at Tulane University in New Orleans.

Duke returned to LSU, graduating in 1974. He became famous on campus for wearing a Nazi uniform while picketing and holding parties on the anniversary of the birth of Adolf Hitler.[citation needed] The year of his graduation, he formed the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He attracted attention for trying to remove the overtly racist terminology of the Klan and turn it into a “white nationalist” political force.[14] A follower of Duke, Thom Robb, changed the title of “Grand Wizard” to “National Director” and replaced the white robes of the Klan with business suits.

Duke has expressed his support for Ernst Zündel, a prominent Holocaust denier, and has made a number of statements in support of Zündel and his Holocaust denial campaign. Currently, Duke expresses concern for the aging Zündel on his website calling him a “political prisoner” after Zündel was deported from Canada to Germany. Zündel is being held in a German prison on charges of inciting the masses to ethnic hatred.

In 1995, Don Black and Chloê Hardin, Duke’s ex-wife, began a small bulletin board service or BBS by the name Stormfront. Today, Stormfront has become a premier online forum for neo-nazism, hate speech, racism, and antisemitism. Duke has an account on Stormfront which he uses to post articles from his own website, davidduke.com, as well as polling forum members for opinions and questions, in particular during his internet broadcasts.”

The facts are; Duke is a racist, anti-semite, bigot, and imbecile of the first order. He is also an opportunist. Switching parties in an attempt to win, not out of any loyalty to a particular party but to his ideology alone.

He is a RINO.

Your attempt at portraying him as a “R-KKK”, “Republican” or “Conservative” is as pathetic as the left’s attempt at portraying Fred Phelps of Westboro fame, as a “republican” when the fact is he is a registered Democrat and always has been.

Truth seems to be adverse to this sad little sites agenda.

You know what you can do with your version of the truth! The same thing you can do with your version of “Atheism”. The fact is, you are anti-God and anti-Christ. People are not compassionate, vitriolic, mocking and threatened by that which they believe does not exist.
