In 1991, shortly after he became “MTP” host, Tim Russert asked David Duke factual questions about Louisiana government, one of which ws the name of the state’s largest employer. Duke could not answer the questions. I don’t think Russert has ever asked anyone else factual questions. Wonder how Oprah’s Obama would fare with factual questions? The point is why was the objectionable Duke treated differently from other guests.

“why was the objectionable Duke treated differently from other guests.”

Good God. Your moral equivalency is is unbelievable,

David Duke was a racist. He founded the Louisiana-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, formed the National Association for the Advancement of White People, he is a Holocaust denier and an ant-semite.

I lived thru his gubernatorial campaign. It would have set race relations and te “conservative movement” back 50 years

The largest employer in Louisiana is the state. As a candidate for governor, Duke certainly should have known that.
