How does a bigot like Pat Buchanan Stay on TV? The Racist, Holocaust revisionst anti-Semite made is claim on Morning Joe today, implying that Bibi Netanyahu and the neocons were helping the protests on Iran. (see Video)

This isn't a new thing for MSNBC's resident Jew hater Buchanan after all he has a long history of anti-semitic and other bigoted statements. What is surprising is that MSNBC continues to ignore calls for some action against their commentator. As Menachem Rosensaft wrote Huffington Post, MSNBC's silence is deafening:

There are times when Pat is right on....then there are times when he’s an absolute idiot.

This is one of those times.

Most of the time he makes headlines, he is a complete idiot.

Pat Buchanan is like all fruitcakes - you just never know what you are going to get...some good, some bad, some awful...

I think Pat Buchanan has lost his marbles he has gone over the deep end!!!! I was for him for President once! Maybe being on MSNBC has rubbed off on him he is almost as bad as Ron Paul!!!

[MAD-AS-HELL]

what neocons is he referring to? Obama? Michelle? Rahm? Hillary “That Jew Bastard” Clinton? Who? Who? (and no, I am not an owl!).

Did some Jewish kid beat up Pat when he was a young, thus scarring him for life? This is a chance to remove The primary troublemaker in the world, but Pat is trying to blame Jews for it? Pat, just STFU.

Anti-semitism is a sure sign of madness.

MSDNC employs Pat Buchanan for the sole reason of misrepresenting the views of the Right.

I loathe the guy myself, but you have misrepresented what he said. I went back and watched the vid, and what he said was that the criticism of Obama’s weak response is coming in part from a hawkish pro-Israel set of voices, including Netanyahu, who would welcome a confrontation with Iran to take out it’s nuclear capabilities. I think that’s pretty accurate.

[Apercu]

“Iran Protests Are Tools of Neocons and Israel” Pat is a big broken monkey wrench himself.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I supported Pat for a while, and then he went crazy.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I wish he wouldn't be characterized as:
Conservative
Republican
He is neither...

[driftless2]

I’m amazed that Ingraham, Hannity, and other conservative talk show hosts give Buchanan time.

Pat Buchanan is like all fruitcakes - you just never know what you are going to get...some good, some bad, some awful...

Pat is very consistent on one issue.

Pat is a strange bird, I really liked him about a decade ago, if you were to classify Pat into a political party it almost defies reality. I think Pat is a conservative that has some kind of real bug up his @#$# about Israel and let’s it override common sense?

That's what I heard also. Does anyone deny that is what Netanyahu wants or just you shouldn't say it.

Pat in the way past seemed normal...not he just seems strange.

Very astute and undoubtedly correct.
