That always cracks me up.
Pres. Bush : "... and furthermore an invasion of Iraq will allow our special forces and human intelligence easier access into, and out of, Syria and Iran without them knowing. Just don't tell anybody, it's a secret."
Can' have much respect for a guy who endorses Viagra.
With all the vanities I have seen recently, I think perhaps you should consider making this paragraph into one.
Was this part of the sell before the invasion, and can you give me a link to what you've posted? Not calling your word into question, would just like to see what speech that came from prior to the invasion.
You're not series are you?
And here I thought it was the fact that he fought on our side in WWII that would be the sticking point.
No. But I'm not hurling accusations at him. You are! Where are the links to his purported anti-semitic writings, where are the quotes. For someone so sure that he is an anti-semite, you should have those links, those quotes at the ready. Defend your position!
You're unbvelievable! Demjanjuk was cleared by the Israeli Supreme Court. The court determined that there was insufficient evidence that Demjanjuk was Ivan the Terrible. Why would Buchanan apologize?
Without claiming to guess your religious preferences, I just want to point out that by that logic one must consider, for example, Christianity to be an untenable religion. Jesus, after all, commands his faithful to (gasp!) love their enemies, and (quelle horreur!) pray for those who persecute them. But even assuming I hate someone's guts, it's entirely possible to respect them all the same.
I have not dug any holes. I have said nothing even remotely offensive to anyone who takes it at face value. YOU have created a controversy that never existed by completely ignoring anything that you didn't want to see. I suppose I could speculate on why you chose to do that, but I think it best not to pass judgment on anyone's motives. I am only accountable for my own heart. So let me say this: I do not apologize for what I said. Nor will I ever apologize for what I said.
I respect Bob Dole for that. But that doesn't give him a free pass. Just like John Kerry doesn't get a free pass.
Please don't pretend you are religious to me. It is so unseemly. Just leave it alone. You've done enough damage for one night.
I am serious. What speech is that from? I'd like to read it. I'm ready to admit I was wrong, but I would like to see the speech, and I would like to know that the speech was delivered prior to the invasion before doing that.
I know a cobra is venomous. I don't have to carry its poison and give it to you to prove it. Buchanan is a lost cause and has been for years. It's quite sad but we are fortunate he left the Republican Party. I wish all his fans would too.
What I don't get is that this is seen as a Bush-bashing book when he says that a sKerry presidency would be too dangerous to risk. He might criticize the current GOP, wrongly in many areas as his isolationist foreign policy is inconsistent at best, but he knows the stakes of this particular ball game.
I was trying to point out the absurdity of telling the world our secret plans and telling everyone not to tell anybody. But you didn't understand the absurdity of doing such a thing, so it didn't work on you.
Never meant to imply I knew your religion. I apologize if it came accross that way. What I referring to is how completely blind to the facts people become when the issue of anti-semitism comes up.
Look at the posts on this thread, people seem unable to get over this anti-semitism issue, but they really offer no proof of it. They come up with lame arguments like Buchanan thought John Demjanjuk was innocent and never offered an apology (even thought the Israeli Supreme Court let him off). Nobody ever mentions that Denjanjuk was a Soviet soldier who was captured by the Germans.
Jesus also kicked the moneylenders from the temple and told his followers to arm themselves. It is entirely possible to fight your enemy while praying that he/she will experience a true conversion and relationship with Christ that will lead them to the Lord's grace.
I do, however, agree that respect for Hitler is untenable. But for fairness, do you criticize Gov. Schwarzenegger for his comments on respecting Hitler?
They can't. They know that they can win by just screaming anti-semite.
