Poison pen or brave crusader? (Scarface meets the Waltons)

Keith Hadley/Staff John Buchanan gestures as he swears to a reporter that he has not lied. A new publisher has been tasked with reining in Buchanan's 'obsessive' interest in a tax assessment story.

In February 2004, Buchanan went to New Hampshire and ran for president in the Republican primary. With financial backing from a few friends and supporters, he stayed in an EconoLodge and gave talks to anyone who would listen. He used his candidacy to urge "that Congress investigate the 60-year media cover-up of the Bush family history," he wrote on one Web site. Calling himself "the 9/11 Truth Candidate," he argued that the federal government "wanted [the attacks] to happen" to clamp down on civil liberties and promote the defense industry. Granite State voters were not persuaded. Buchanan received 836 votes to George W. Bush's 53,962.

Oh, wait...is this story about PAT Buchanan...? ;)

You may have heard of this guy.

Thought you'd enjoy seeing what he's doing these days.

Best,

I found this story funny. Buchanan should get back on his Lithium.

Buchanan is a "Performance Art" type. "Performance art" site, also funny:

Bump!

..."I am not going to let whatever he did in the past sway my view of what he's doing here," Woodliff said. ...

Another one who should check himself in.

No kidding!

ROTFLMAO. Now you've done it. The FR Buchanan Brigadiers (all five of them) are grabbing their pitchforks, tar and feathers. ;-)

[Darkwolf377]

I know, but it was just SITTING there, I HAD to do it...

[skinkinthegrass]

Using documents from the National Archives, Buchanan published a story in a small weekly in New Hampshire stating that Prescott Bush, grandfather of the current president, served on a bank board that had financial dealings with a Nazi sympathizer. In 1942, the federal government seized the bank's assets.

Thanks, CW for the (strange/funny :) post.
..It seems, He's not the only one (hint: ABCNNBC_BS / "Big Ears" Perot) obsessed w/ the Bush Family.

In February 2004, Buchanan....
Oh, wait...is this story about PAT Buchanan...? ;)

LOL! ...it really does, "sound like Pat..."

[bkepley]

There's one thing I missed in this story, circulation. If you can avoid a lawsuit, this guy is bound to create interest wherever he goes.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

[Rebelbase]

This is an example of why mountain folk call people who come up from Florida, "Floridiots".

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That's one way to put it.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

A lot of "Floridiots" migrated to Florida from somewhere else.

Buchanan, tanned and energetic at 55, is a speed talker. His discussions — more like frantic monologues — ping-pong from tax assessments to international conspiracies. He can go from laughter to indignation to tears in seconds.

Let's see pressured speech, scattered thoughts, high energy inappropriate to age, believes in bizarre conspiracy theories. Yep, he's a manic-depressive. Whoever posted that he needs to be back on his lithium is exactly correct.

BTW, while I'm not qualified in any way to be a critic, this has to be (IMHO) one of the most poorly written, disorganized articles I've ever seen. This author's editor needs to take him to the woodshed.

The AJC where this guy comes from leads the pack on leftwing garbage. They have embedded reporters in Iraq with the GA Army National Guard who almost never post stories that make it into print, perfering to spend their time in the green zone bars and hotels, I guess. The stories that do make the front page are more doom and gloom.

I am delighted this guy has gotten out of Atlanta to actually find out what common sense people think of his style of slash and burn reporting. What we think about his crusade to educate us all, to lift us from ignorance.

I hope they run his sorry butt out of Union County in short order.

Just a couple questions: (1) Is that a snake on top of the file cabinet, and (2) why is Buchanan holding his package???
