Another Racist Runs For GOP Nomination ?

Did you think the clown show that is the Republican field of presidential candidates was about as crazy as it could get? If you did, then you were wrong. It's about to get a lot crazier. How could that be? How about a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan getting into the race?

That's right, well-know racist and right-wing hate-monger David Duke (pictured) is "exploring" the possibility of his entering the race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. This month Duke is making a visit to at least 25 states. The purpose is to gauge what kind of support he would have if he declared he is a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.

When I first heard about this I thought it was a crazy idea, but the more I think about it the more sense it makes. The Republicans are making no effort to get minority votes. Instead, they are trying to capitalize on the white racist backlash (and yes, I'm talking about the teabaggers) to the country having an African-American president.

Frankly, I think he'll fit in very well with the rest of the GOP candidates. Although candidates like Bachmann, Santorum, Paul, and Gingrich would be unhappy because he'll probably take a lot of teabagger votes they were counting as their own.

I had thought the Republicans were already scraping the bottom of the barrel with the candidates they had. It now looks like there is no bottom to that barrel.
