Dumbledore doesn't seem to think so.

So do a lot of people, but that doesn't make them death eaters.  
Even the Black family, according to Sirius, didn't join Voldemort 
when they found out what he was willing to do to get power.

Me:

Fudge didn't do that...he had Percy's job when that happened (see 
PoA, the scene in the Three Broomsticks where Harry finds out what 
Black supposedly did.)

On the other points, I agree that Fudge is a terrible person.  I 
don't think he's just naive, I think he's power hungry and refuses 
to wake up to reality.  But I really don't think he's a death eater.
