Buchanan could easily be (and perhaps is) the Grand Master Wizard Dipshit of the KKK.

Anyone who gives him or his sister air time is just pathetic.

You can spew your racist bile and tell stories about all of the awful people you worked with a MSNBC.

White Hooders?

And do white hoods go with a Brown Shirt?

eom

I say within two weeks, max.

He'll be a great pal to Hannity.

I can't believe these extremists get so much air time for freakin years

I think most knew him to be unbalanced before MSNBC hired him.

This guy should have never gained any credibility. The very fact that Buchanan worked at high levels of our media and government, much less ever worked above a student newspaper and got near a small-town mayor's office shows how long our country's been dysfunctional.

His racism and Catholic Pietic anti-semitism has been clear for decades. He was also a belligerent, jingo creep during the Cold War, an attitude that, during his heyday in the Reagan administration, almost killed us all.

On top of that, he was abrasive and dislikeable, an early pioneer of the poisonous tone of our politics. I'll never forget after John Lennon was murdered how Buchanan wrote a gloating, sneering column. It was a tone picked up and perfected by Rush Limbaugh, who referred any Progressive dying as "Assuming room temperature," and sang "Ain't Got No Home" after a homeless advocate committed suicide. I hope there's a Hell just because it would make it possible for Buchanan and Limbaugh to share the same pit and torture each other for eternity.

He was corporatist, until he noticed it was hurting workers, that is to say, it was hurting white workers, then he evoked protectionism based on racism to correct it. The man is a toxic, cat-shit-laced-with-arsenic, human being. The rest of us have been gagging on him long enough.

How is it the MSM has been oblivious to this until now?

You have to admit he was good enough at it that he made a very good living from it for decades.

I find it hard to believe that wart has been taken off MSNBC. Now I know anything is possible and it gives me hope. If they can throw him out they can still do the right thing sometimes.

But I personally don't know any Catholics who are anti-Semitic. The fact that Buchanan IS should not be transformed into a broad brush.

I couldn't quite find a term for it, so I used a neologism. So I'll explain: I meant antisemitic in the same sense Pope Pius XII was, as opposed to the Adolf Hitler school of antisemitism.

I was raised as a Catholic in a solidly Catholic home, and a Catholic extended family. I know what I'm talking about. Patrick Buchanan considers the Jews "a stubborn, stiff-necked people" (a meme that has gone from one echelon of the Catholic hierarchy to the other and back for centuries), who just won't listen to the truth. He's suspicious of them; he thinks they're privileged and manipulative but that's tempered by a sympathy that never recognizes full equality. The suspicion can, with little reinforcement and encouragement, turn into downright bigotry that destroys any sympathy whatsoever.

It's the sort of person who would struggle to save Jews from the concentration camp, but would be agreeable to confiscating from and segregating them. The sort of person who would see the silver lining of the holocaust as being all the Jewish converts to Catholicism. They would say Hitler was wrong about that Holocaust and WWII thing, but they sure understand why he was pissed at the Jews. And like Pius, it's the sort of person who would call Hitler evil, but might have praise Franco and Salazar. They're not exactly Holocaust deniers, but you mention six million Jews were murdered, they'll say, yeah, but the Gypsies suffered worse.

These are my relatives. Buchanan's views on Jews are the same as my Dad's. You talk to many Catholics, and this is the attitude that you'll find. And to them, this isn't a description of bigotry. This attitude is normalized with them they don't discuss it outside their families enough to notice that there's anything off about it.

It's the sort of Catholic influenced very much by Pius XII papacy, when this was the dominant attitude, and definitely the dominant one among students in Catholic schools when I attended them. So please don't tell me that some aren't like this. I know they aren't. But how many have you talked to about this? Really? It's not an active hatred, but a side-effect of having a thought process receptive to doctrines they can't question.

If you were raised Catholic, then I guess I'll defer to you on this point. All I'm saying is the Catholics I know aren't hung up about Jews at all. (I know one guy who's extremely anti-immigration but that's it.)

Blame Hitler' soon to be seen on your local fox news.






White Supremacist Gloats Over Pat Buchanan’s Appearance on Radio Show


White supremacist James Edwards, host of the overtly racist Political Cesspool radio show in Tennessee, is gloating today that he got noticed by the “extremist left” after MSNBC political consultant Pat Buchanan appeared on his show: I must be doing something right

...is it too late to enter the Republican race? They're getting desparate for a new AnybodybutMitt.

Unlike Christ Matthews, who now claims he was against that war from the beginning.

to Pat's credit.....geez ..... unlike Christ Matthews...

There are two main types of right-wing hawk: the neocon-imperialists who see all foreigners as either friends or enemies, and wish to influence the world at the point of a sword; and the xenophobic-isolationists, including Buchanan, who hate all foreigners; avoid 'foreign' wars but become hyperaggressive if they imagine any threat to their own country (e.g. Buchanan did support the Cold War and the Vietnam war because he considered communism to be direct threat to the United States); and tend to be racist and to whip up hatred of 'enemies within'.

Both types are dangerous, just in different ways.

good people

which you don't usually get at all from a complete tool.

Good riddance.

I'm confused (but not really).

"blacklisters"...I wonder if that's code.

I first came across him in 2002 when he wrote something defending LePen; and have hated him ever since.

I HATE hard-right-wingers!!!

He served as President Nixon's speechwriter and President Reagan's White House Communications Director, and he coined the term "Silent Majority". He's been a political pundit for decades, putrifying our airwaves continually the entire time, adding his bit to hate, homophobia, racism, sexism and jingoism with his obviously decomposing mind.

It's almost shocking to see him fired. I really didn't think it would happen.

in Pat's past. Almost as if he's watching his party crumble before his eyes, and this is his last F.U. to America.

But it was always there coming out of the sides of mouths when it was just all white people in the room. Racists have always made the mistake that if you're white you're one of them. Buchanan just got confident because it's so blatant now. If the Republicans can out and out display overt racism, why shouldn't he? I suspect he always strove to be an intellectual leader of this group. The 'thinking racist' who could mold and manipulate public opinion. He probably received fan mail from Rush's listeners.

Like a lot of egotists he overstepped himself and fell into a trap created by his own cockiness. A lot like Newt is doing.

Or is it Pat BuKKKanan?

Cooool!

it took a book to tell them this? didn't they ever listen to him on their own network?
give me a break.

His show is so much better when he isn't around to rant and rave about how wonderful Republicans are for American free enterprise.

When he's not there, it's actually quite watchable and informative.

and he seemed so reasonable during the Bush Administration!

"Good riddance to bad rubbish."

So long, Pat! You won't be missed.

Buh-bye asshat, don't let the door kick you in your bigoted ass on the way out!

I don't get the selective posturing done at MSNBC.
One day they love Bush, the next day they hate Bush.
Odd.

(One of my dad's favorite songs LOL!)

Let's get rid of that next!

I guess I didn't miss anything loving.

It's not like his new book was the first time he had ever made insensitive racial remarks. He's been writing it for the past 30 something years and yet he was still hired by MSNBC????? Why did they hire him in the first place? Did they need someone to represent the voice of the KKK?

Of course this works out well for Pat, it comes just in time to jump on board to the campaign of his fellow KKK congressmen Ron Paul

he served a puprose

Pat really, really hates being on a "black"list.
