The difference is that a guy like D Duke was repudiated by pubbies whereas R Clark hasn't been repudiated by the dems, indeed a number of prominent dems attendend the Answer rallies, shocking given that Answer is a marxist coalition that is supported by Farrakhan, the Socialist Workers party, the CPUSA and the new Black panthers.

Are you still worried about Marxist Communists? Do you think they'll have any power ever again? I'm the furthest from a communist politically, but they worry me about as much as missiles in Cuba do.

I think its worth mentioning that stuff like the pic that kicked off this thread is exactly how Karl Rove got his start in politics. Don't think for a second that its beneath the pro-war crowd to do something like this to make the other side look bad. Rove's pulled crap like this for decades.

Well looking at J Conyers among others speaking at marxist rallies, like those sponsered by ANSWER it appears the marxist have a great deal of influence among the congressional leadership.

Duke did get 55% of the white vote in Louisiana, so he still has a powerful constituency. Clearly, not all Republicans repudiated him, just as they did not repudiate George Allen, Trent Lott, Barbara Cubin, and others for their bigotry. Of course, that doesn't mean all Republicans are racist. As for Ramseny Clark, there's nothing inherently wrong with sharing common ground with Communists on issues like racism and peace in Iraq, though it's apparently politically incorrect from your view.

Name me one republican outside of LA that endorsed Duke, IIRC the state party didn't give him any support. BTW did the Dems repuditate R Byrd (white ni**er or J Jackson 'hymietown'.

Jackson was certainly repudiated and apologized for the use of the term (and also distanced himself from Farrakhan who defended Jackson's remarks). Also, Jackson's influence in the Democratic Party was certainly hurt by that remark.

Byrd belonged to the KKK in the 1940s and changed his views in the mid-60s, breaking with the Dixiecrats. The Democrats never asked Byrd to apologize because by the time the Democratic Party rid themselves of their racists, he had already apologized.

But did Reagan ever apologize? It's no secret that the Republicans have had a "Southern Strategy" for decades, culminated with Reagan who went directly after the racist vote by making up stories about "welfare queens" driving Cadillacs and launching his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, MS, known primarily for the murder of 3 civil rights workers. (Trent Lott encouraged him to start his campaign there.)

To the Republican Party's credit, it did work to defeat David Duke, but he still got 55% of the white vote. I suppose he's sort of like the Lyndon Larouche (a Democrat) of the Republican Party.

Hey, how'd Robert Byrd do in his elections?
