I did not want to distract attention from the important point that Pat was making.

I don't see him making any "point" whatsoever. All I see is Pat venting.

Upon consideration, I think I know what really bothers Pat. The current war against Wahabiwackjobism is going to have the side effect of making theocratic politics unacceptable in polite society, just as the war against Naziism has the side effect of making genteel anti-Semitism unacceptable in polite society. Pat is aware of this on some level, and just as unhappy about the former as he was about the latter.

Your confusion as to what the War is about, does not excuse your reprehensible accusations against Pat Buchanan. The fact that you must resort to them, pretty clearly demonstrates not only that you have no argument against his actual points, but are driven by considerations other than those stated for the policy you advocate. I responded to the outrageous lies that Pat was demonizing Jews or was pro-Nazi in my 1999 post Fair Play For Pat Buchanan. I have seen nothing since, which would cause me to alter what was said there.

If you go back through this thread--or go back through almost any thread based upon a Pat Buchanan article--you will find that almost all the responses attempting to create a "Jewish" issue, or a "Nazi" issue, originate with those who are opposing Buchanan's views. Practically none of that silly hate spewing material originates with those supporting Pat's position. On the other hand some of those spewing the hatred against Pat, show signs of almost pathological hatred or paranoia.

I am sure that some of these Buchanan haters are sincere. They have been sold a "bill of goods," and are simply responding like Pavolovian subjects. I suspect, however, that some are deliberately trying to stir up the very thing they claim to be fighting--provocateurs, seeking anything but amicable relations between different religious groups, etc..

Some of us who have spent our lives fighting for traditional American values are getting very sick of this ugliness for the sake of ugliness. Enough is really more than enough.
