David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. In the past, Duke has run for office both as a Democrat, as a Republican, and as the 1988 Presidential candidate of the Populist Party. David Duke was once a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. [1] Duke has taken an activist stance in the anti-war movement. He has stated,
- Cindy Sheehan is absolutely right. Her son signed up in the military to defend America, not Israel...In advancing this war for Israel, government and media advocates obviously couldn’t get Americans behind the war by saying it was a war for Israel. They had to make up bogus reasons for the war, such as saying that Iraq was an imminent threat to America and that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. [2]
Duke unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in the open primary in 1990 against J. Bennett Johnston. In 1991, he ran unsuccessfully for governor against Edwin E. Edwards.
