Outstanding!
Buchanan is anti-jewish (anti-semitic is the wrong word, because smart-allecks point out that Arabs are semitic as well, so how can someone be pro-Arab yet anti-semitic? Call a spade a spade...). He has repeatedly sited Holocaust deniers and their organizations for their research (like the Institute for Historical Review). He has stated that the gas chambers in Nazi Germany were not there to kill Jews, but to clean them (See "Denying History" by Michael Shermer). He later recanted, only to follow that mishap by suggesting that the Allies caused the Holocaust by invading Germany, and if Hitler was left alone, everything would have a-OK. Here is an article that exposes Buchanan's tolerance of the 3rd Reich: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=223
This is serious, serious stuff. A man who, in his late 40s early 50s, valorizes the Nazi troops? Calls Hitler a "soldier's soldier?" Entertains Holocaust denial fantasies? Gripes about the Revolution of "Women's Rights" that needs to happen in the Islamic world? It is the stuff that the Left throws in the face of the GOP, conservatives, free marketeers all the time. Pat Buchanan is a conservative only a Leftist could love, because he validates all the KKK stereotypes that the Left has of capitalists and Christians. He does nothing but damage to the Right, and probably cost Bush I the election w/ his tone deaf "Cultural War" speech. He fights the Cultural War the stupidest and most counterproductive way imaginable, w/ repugnant bombastity and pedantic appeals to life in the 1950s, instead of an affirmation of positive values and the use of logic and reason. He is the epitome of a Pyrrhic victory, someone who may embolden the base only to alienate the majority.
Thanks for the link. those allegations are pretty ouutrageous,.- i'd never heard that before. as i said above i am not that familiar with Pat so am keeping an open mind on this one. i do , however, believe in closing the borders to illegal invaders, and in sovereignty. Many people here always insult that as being 'xenophobic' & 'isolationist', which only makes them lose credibility. Buchanan aside, the majority of americans dont want illegal aliens invading our country.
Typical of his type.
Outstanding!
