David Duke calls Wolf Blitzer a Jewish extremist

Oh my God. This is fascinating TV.

I have a friend who is very upset that CNN is interviewing Duke (former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and probably America's best known white supremacist) and giving him a good ten minutes. Among his concerns, Duke is spewing a lot of anti-Semitism, and he is. It's not just criticism of Israel, it's anti-Semitism (and it is). Also, Wolf Blitzer isn't being very tough on Duke. He's asking some hard questions, but not making him answer them, and he's letting Duke go on for minutes at a time. Then again, you could argue that Duke made a fool of himself, and he did. But he did get his face and words and Web site address out to people, I fear, around the globe.

So, was it right for CNN to interview David Duke or not?
