I just read a great book about Pat Buchanan called “The Crusader...”. There’s a story I loved (many, actually).
During the 1968 convention, Pat was up in a hotel room overlooking the street where the cops were teeing off on the leftist rabble, pulling no punches. Also in the hotel room were others, including press personnel, and lefty Normal Mailer. Mailer is looking out the window almost in tears saying “Look at those cops beat those poor protestors! This is horrible police brutality!”
At the same time, Pat had his head out the window and was pointing at a rioter who was trying to get away, and yelling to the police, “Hey, there’s one you missed over there!”
Norman Mailer was known for his violent nature, so one more example of liberal hypocrisy.
