Margaret Sanger loved eugenics and forced sterilization.

In a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members” (Margaret Sanger commenting on the ‘Negro Project’ in a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939)
In a 1957 interview with Mike Wallace, Sanger revealed: “I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world — that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically. Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things just marked when they’re born. That to me is the greatest sin — that people can — can commit.”

Much of David Duke’s ’91 Campaign Is Now in Louisiana Mainstream

• In his 1991 campaign for governor against Edwin W. Edwards, Mr. Duke largely avoided explicitly racial campaigning, appealed to the frustrations and resentments of white voters and won more than 60 percent of the white vote while losing in a runoff election.

•Two decades later, much of his campaign has merged with the political mainstream here, and rather than a bad memory from the past

• Still, Roy Fletcher, a Baton Rouge-based political consultant who has managed campaigns for Republicans like former Gov. Mike Foster and Senator John McCain, said Mr. Duke may have become a toxic political personality, but he foreshadowed the state’s coming political and ideological shift.

• Louisiana, like most of the South, has become solidly Republican in a way it was not then, and race remains a fluid issue.

What was David Duke's 1991 platform? It was: "anti-big government and anti-tax mantras that preceded the Tea Party movement."

(1) forcing welfare recipients to take birth control; (2) measures implementing stricter guidelines for residents of public housing, repealing affirmative action programs and eliminating minority set-asides;

Something also from the Duke playbook:

"how America was founded on Christian principles, Christian men who founded this country, and how it was believed it would go forward as a Christian nation and how we’re getting away from that"

^^^ The current Republican mantra in Louisiana. This is clear example of out-grouping and positioning a majority white group -- in an imagined, beleaguered position as if other groups and ideas subvert the state of the union.

Of course they publicly denounced him, but after winning 60% of the white vote in Louisiana, candidates after him dropped the "overt" racism in favor of general tone and appeal to white voters. The gun thread really symbolizes that attitude here, how all the conservative posters simply don't want to sympathize with the victim, and prefer instead to talk about other pet issues.

Jindal, the current governor of Louisiana, now has a complete mess on his hands and has gone from "Presidential hopeful" to after thought.
