From the article above: “...Ben Smith makes a tenuous, desperate allegation that Palin hates Jews,...”
I call BS as I just read that article. It was Ben Smith relating Wexler’s accusation that Palin was a “Nazi Sympathizer” because of her greeting Pat Buchanan on a visit to Wasilla when she was the Mayor.
She was actually campaigning for Steve Forbes at the time, but wore the Pat Buchanan button as she was greeting Pat Buchanan upon his visit as Mayor of the town.
Aaron Schwitters needs to make a correction. Ben Smith is innocent as charged.
“...Buchanan upon his visit as Mayor of the town.”
Screwed that up didn’t I LOL.
Should read he was visiting the town, she was mayor of.
So what?
Even if true, and she was the biggest Buchanan supporter in Alaska, that hardly makes her a Nazi sympathizer! I disagree with Pat on all his isolationist leanings, but he’s not a Nazi.
Wexler’s whole argument is disgusting!
No correction.
The link to the Ben Smith post is in my post and everyone should read it. Palin went to a Buchanan fundraiser in ‘96. There’s no evidence she ever even gave him money. The Ben Smith article tries to tie her attendance at that event to Buchanan’s views and Smith says that perhaps Wexler is right.
It’s a ridiculous connection. I just called him out on it. :)
