In 1988 he ran in several Democratic Presidential campaigns, winning no primaries and gaining substantial votes only in the South, but the campaign was given widespread media coverage, which made Duke famous. In 1989 he switched parties and was elected to the Louisiana House as a Republican. In 1990 he ran for the US Senate, receiving 44% of the vote against the Democratic incumbent, J. Bennett Johnston. In his 1991 campaign for Louisiana Governor, he received 39% of the vote, losing to Edwin Edwards. Remarkably, however, Duke received somewhere between 55% and 60% of the white vote.The confederate flag is used in several European countries by far right racial purists. Ask David Duke, who was asked to leave.Neo-Nazis in Germany, where the Swastika is banned, use the Confederate Flag.
So, now neo-nazis in Germany are more important that millions of Americans who are proud of their southern heritage?
How many neo nazis are we talking about? couple of dozen? COuple of hundred?
David Duke?! NOw your taking your cues from David Duke?
IMO the only possible use for David Duke is that his presidential campaign revealed how weak White Supremacy is in America.
You ever review his elections returns when he ran for Presidency after the truth came out?
Funny stuff. Got 1% of the vote in his home state!
David Duke
This is once the truth was well distributed.

Duke ran as a Republican in the 1992 presidential primaries, although Republican Party officials tried to block his participation.[73] He received 119,115 (0.94%) votes[74] in the primaries, but no delegates to the national convention."
LESS THAN one percent.
