There are times when Pat is right on....then there are times when he’s an absolute idiot.
This is one of those times.
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!!!
what neocons is he referring to? Obama? Michelle? Rahm? Hillary “That Jew Bastard” Clinton? Who? Who? (and no, I am not an owl!).
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.
I supported Pat for a while, and then he went crazy.
I’m amazed that Ingraham, Hannity, and other conservative talk show hosts give Buchanan time.
Pat in the way past seemed normal...not he just seems strange.
MSNBC keeps Buchanan on as their token conservative so that all his comments are ascribed to conservatives, generally.
If anyone thinks that liberals don’t see Buchanan as the face and voice of conservatism, they have another thing coming .. rather Machiavellian of MSNBC.
Buchanan is far from MY idea of a conservative .. I’ll stick with Rush any day.
Go back to your cage, Pat.
Pat needs to shut up and learn German, so that he can express himself properly.
'Comrade Wolf' and the mullahsIn the 27 years since the Iranian Revolution, the United States has launched air strikes on Libya, invaded Grenada, put Marines in Lebanon and run air strikes in the Bekaa Valley and Chouf Mountains in retaliation for the Beirut bombing.
We invaded Panama, launched Desert Storm to liberate Kuwait and put troops into Somalia. Under Clinton, we occupied Haiti, fired cruise missiles into Sudan, intervened in Bosnia, conducted bombing strikes on Iraq and launched a 78-day bombing campaign against Serbia, a nation that never attacked us. Then, we put troops into Kosovo.
After the Soviet Union stood down in Eastern Europe, we moved NATO into Poland and the Baltic states and established U.S. bases in former provinces of Russia's in Central Asia.
Under Bush II, we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, though it appears Saddam neither had weapons of mass destruction nor played a role in 9-11.
Yet, in this same quarter century when the U.S. military has been so busy it is said to be overstretched and exhausted, Iran has invaded not one neighbor and fought but one war: an 8-year war with Iraq where she was the victim of aggression. And in that war of aggression against Iran, we supported the aggressor.
Hence, when Iran says that even as we have grievances against her, she has grievances against us, does Iran not have at least a small point? And when Russian President Putin calls Bush's America "Comrade Wolf," does he not have at least a small patch of ground on which to stand?
Comrade Wolf knows whom to eat, it eats without listening and it’s clearly not going to listen to anyone

Herr Buchanan is a bigoted old yokel. MSNBC sure has found a great jester as “token conservative”.
He's kept there by leftists who want to make conservatives look bad.
And by and large, that system works.
I wonder if Pat considered Ronald Reagan a neocon and Lech Walesa a tool?
This is from a great link (posted here on FR of cause) to what Walesa said about this.
"In Solidarity
The Polish people, hungry for justice, preferred "cowboys" over Communists."
"When talking about Ronald Reagan, I have to be personal. We in Poland took him so personally. Why? Because we owe him our liberty. This can't be said often enough by people who lived under oppression for half a century, until communism fell in 1989."At the time Pat kept his opinion to himself, but Ron Paul was one of Reagan's most outspoken critics on this policy." Poles fought for their freedom for so many years that they hold in special esteem those who backed them in their struggle. Support was the test of friendship. President Reagan was such a friend. His policy of aiding democratic movements in Central and Eastern Europe in the dark days of the Cold War meant a lot to us. We knew he believed in a few simple principles such as human rights, democracy and civil society."
