"photo posturing" or bumping into one of these guys at an event and getting a pic is one thing, having him as an advisor and bringing him to the White House in that capacity at a time of crisis is quite another thing..

if Clinton or Bush had David Duke as an "adviser" and brought him to the White House for counsel during similar situations...well...that might be comparable

and I'm sure we'd read this...

[QUOTE=spence;1057920]Like it or not the David Duke is a prominent figure on race issues. Sure, he's an instigator but a lot of people share his perspective. The point of the meeting was to get a variety of opinions and viewpoints.

As scottw said, inviting the guy to the White House to ask his advice on an urgent situation, isn't exactly a photo op. I heard Sharpton has been to the White House 82 times since Obama was elected. No idea if that's true. I have no reason to doubt it,given the company that our President has historically kept. Unbelievable that anyone who sat in Rev Wright's church for decades could get elected POTUS...
