I am confident that in due course if this gets any traction, Graf will comment. There is no reason to assume that Graf is a racist - none, nada. His views on illegal immigration have nothing to do with racial or ethnic prejudice, absent other evidence, of which I am aware of none.
He already has--very weakly, and he has not told Duke to pull the link. Maybe he figures he can't do much worse than he is at present, and that he needs every dime he can scare up.

There also is no reason to assume that he has judgement on a level that one would expect from a Congressman, and THAT is the problem.
Torie this is all about Jim Kolbe. He hates Graf for his anti Gay commments and is sabatoging his campaign. He is working with the Giffords staff to bring down Graf.
