I remember David Duke giving some pretty fiery speeches up there. NO WAY LSU would allow him to speak now.

Actual question, does it not actually exist anymore?

There was a screaming preacher there from time to time that always drew a decent crowd and some hecklers.

Yep I was on campus then. It was wild to just walk by and see Duke standing there on the bench talking.

I remember some jackass screaming "you're going to hell" at everyone. I used to avoid the front of the union as much as possible.

Unfortunately (for me) you are off by about 20 years.

The thing is, that was the main thing people were able to point to when he was running for office, specifically governor (where he was spouting somewhat mainstream proposals) and be able to say, no really, this guy is a fricking lunatic, vote for the crookedest man ever instead.

It's why I can't, for the life of me, understand why people want such stuff completely silenced.

I've got an idea. How about not being such a big AH and just ignore the post?

It seems that others remember it and are happy to provide input without being a ....

Oh never mind, I am wasting electrons.
