Pat Buchanan Runs Holocaust Denial Discussion Board
NY Daily News/The Lid ^ | 5/12/09 | The Lid

Posted on 05/12/2009 7:47:35 AM PDT by Shellybenoit

....Buchanan has appointed himself defender of former Nazi leaders and functionaries, expressing sympathy and indignation at alleged injustices committed against them by the U. S. government. His list includes Klaus Barbie, "the butcher of Lyon" and Karl Linnas, an Estonian concentration camp chief. Yet, while Buchanan defends former Nazis, he has criticized Christian leaders such as the late Cardinal John O' Connor, whose efforts to mediate a dispute over a convent on the grounds of Auschwitz were characterized by Buchanan as "appeasement toward U.S. Jewry."

Antisemitism, compulsion to minimize the Holocaust, a desire to marginalize American Jews politically and delegitimizing Israel all seem to be part of Buchanan's agenda.  Appearing on MSNBC on Jan. 8, 2009, he labeled Israel's military campaign against terrorists from Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) a "blitzkrieg" and termed the Gaza Strip "a concentration camp." 

Buchanan regularly describes American Jews as a power hungry group that manipulates foreign policy, jeopardizing U.S. security at the expense of Israeli interests. In his book, A Republic, Not an Empire, he claims, "After World War II, Jewish influence over foreign policy became almost an obsession with American leaders."

On Jews in American politics, Buchanan has said, "If you want to know ethnicity and power in the United States Senate, 13 members of the Senate are Jewish folks who are from 2 percent of the population. That is where real power is at.." ("The McLaughlin Group," Feb. 2, 2007).

Buchanan is training the next generation of haters. On his Website Buchanan.org, he hosts a discussion board which is largely about Holocaust denial:

I like Hannity a lot, cannot figure out why he would have Buchannan on his show & give him some legitimacy unless it was to challenge him.

Pat on MSNBC, now that I can understand. They deserve each other.

In the event anyone thinks this is an accident, or Pat's simiply unaware of whats on his site, from the thread leader. Clear intent to forment Holocaust denial. Which is Pat's perrogative.

“Rodfish” –I recognize your concerns. Before even establishing this “thread” I requested permission from the Site Admin. Discussing “The Holocaust” is prevented by law in Germany and several other nations. Why should this be ? Did the Holocaust really occur? Why have millions of people been convinced that the Germans executed 6 million Jews. Flimsy or none existent evidence supports this ridiculous claim yet people believe it.

Zionist-Jews control most of our law enforcement systems here in America. Tremendous effort is expended to prevent any action that could expose “The Holocaust” myth.

Pat Buchanan is right about a great many things. He is also wrong about a great many things.

Pat Buchanan writes book-long apologias for dead Nazis. Your blase attitude toward his efforts is disturbing.

I didn’t listen for long — didn’t have the stomach for it — but it sounded like they were just discussing current events.

Does Hannity ever call Buchannan on the carpet for what he says about WWII and Israel, or do they have some kind of “gentleman’s agreement” to ignore the controversy? I must admit that I don’t listen to Hannity often enough to know. But it’s not just Hannity — I think Hugh Hewitt has him on, too. What gives?

Hannity's had a few questionable characters on, but Pat's on numberous conservative shows. They simply address the issues they agree with him on and ignore the rest.
