What's most galling to me is that the more Buchanan loses it, the more insane and anti-semetic he gets, the more people like Chris Mathiews and Don Imus cozy up to him.

That's because the media still portrays him as a typical denizen of the "right", a mainstream Republican thinker. Republicans hate religious and racial minorities you know.

The left used to praise Hitler as one of their own, now they call him "right wing".   Labels are easy to flip around and principles aren't.   That's why it's easy say that Buchanan and other big government welfare tax'n'spend types should be considered conservative.
