Buchanan (and Libertarians?) Sides with 'Deadly Serious Religion'

I realize this is a blog entry, but it is apropos the Cartoon Affair. We can't link to stuff at screwy Louie's site, but the commentary is on Buchanan's comments there.

I'm sitting here laughing at all the Buchanan fans around here. They thought he was Ronald Reagan 2; instead he's our answer to Noam Chomsky.

I'm sure all the Buchanan fans will come defend him now, and I await their rationalizations.

Funny how Paddy never found it in his heart to be critical of the blood libel cartoons published in Islamic countries showing Jews drinking Palestinia's blood. Ah but I suppose for a Paddy that is different since it is just the Jews being insulted and slandered

[ozoneliar]

To impute all Libertarians because of this post is beyond stupid.

[COEXERJ145]

Of course Pat is siding with the Islamofascists.

Pat never met a Jew hater he didn't love.

As for Lew Crockwell, he is just as kooky as old Pat. No surprise these two mentally unstable people would be joining up.

Buchanan is an authoritarian, not a libertarian. It therefore doesn't surprise me that he comes out against freedom of the press. And his dad, I understand, admired the Nazis.

[COEXERJ145]

I'm sure all the Buchanan fans will come defend him now, and I await their rationalizations.

They won't defend him. They'll just attack anyone who isn't worshiping him.

Buchanan is an idiot.

I have yet to hear a single libertarian seriously say that these cartoons should never have been printed. They cannot say it and stay consistant with the Non-initiaion Principle.

[rcocean]

Yes, and all the Pat haters have already showed up.

Sad that a phrase like "America First", drives the Pat haters crazy.

Ilana Mercer is a self-described classical liberal. I doubt she would tar all libertarians with the same brush.

[Dead Corpse]

Rockwell is a "libertarian" the same way Bush is a "conservative". Don't confuse either for the "real" thing.

[M203M4]

Patrick Buchanan comes out 100 percent against the European papers that published the cartoons of Muhammad, seeing the act as an anti-religious provocation by secular modernists

Hey Pat, head off to Iran to enjoy theocracy there. They hate Jews too, so you should be happy, you stupid SOB.

[COEXERJ145]

Did I ever say "libertarian"?

I think not. I said Lew Crockwell is the kook.

And don't try to turn this into a Bush bashing thread.

[JohnMarvin]

Interesting comments. The republican party has also sold out its conservative ideals for political gain. There are few choices left for real conservatives to turn to.

[beaversmom]

He's a smart idiot. That's why it's so disappointing. Kind of the same feeling I have toward Hitchens--another smart idiot.

[DoughtyOne]

I've never ceased to be amazed watching the subliminals attempt to impugne folks becase a third party made a statement that most folks would clearly find objectionable.

Your comment thus, say volumes about yourself, and very little about anyone else.

As a defender of Pat on many occassions on this forum, most prior to the 2000 election, I find it objectionable that he might infer gulit on the publishers rather than the lower life forms who have turned to violence in response.

I will have to say though, the quotes are sparse here. It would be interesting to see Buchanan's full statements before skewering him. At that point we could point out mitigating comments or give him the full treatment based on fact and not some giddy school-kid's level of commentary.

[COEXERJ145]

Whatever troll boy.

[Dead Corpse]

Being illustrative before the LP bashing starts. Making a point before it gets lost in the flames.

[Dead Corpse]

Let's face it, Pat needs medication.

[Dead Corpse]

Pat isn't an alternative. Same way McCain isn't.
