Buchanan is no friend of conservatives nor is he a Conservative. He's just another idiotic pandering pundit and is all over the map. He is a total self-promoting hack and his rants are inane. He has found a way to make steady money by being a tool of the Left who promote him as a "critical conservative". What a pantload. When all a pundit does is criticize, then it's clear whose team he's on.
Buchanan has never gotten over loosing his three bids for president and the way he's acted since then is his way of getting back at conservative America for not nominating him.
I don't understand how Buchhanan has the nerve to even live in this country any more. Why doesn't he go to Iran where he can champion Holocaust denial?
I thought that DiLorenzo character was supposed to be an anti-Buchanan "free trader." Funny how Jew-haters all seem to get along, isn't it?
I'm no sure that 1890's agrarianism was that anti-Semitic. Besides, Biblical Jews (and the early Zionists) were agrarians themselves!
The core of "palaeo-conservatism" is a denial of universals. Instead of an objectively existing One True G-d to Whom all mankind owes allegiance (regardless of which "race" or "civilization" one belongs to), "palaeos" treat G-d (assuming they're talking about the real G-d at all, that is) merely as the totem of a particular race or civilization. Even Buchanan's membership in the "universal church" doesn't interfere with his radical crusade against an objective universal G-d. "Gxd" is merely the projection of European civilization, and thus is at war with the "gxd" of the Mexicans (never mind that the "palaeos" and Mexicans are members of the same "universal church!"). "Palaeos" resent any truth that rises above subjective nation, race, or civilization and doubtless believe that if it weren't for those ee-vil "race-mixing Jews" the various peoples of the world would be completely separate from each other, each one subscribing to a completely different (and "equally valid") moral code or philosophy. I have along supposed that all the shrieking about "one world" and "world government" among ther "palaeos" is an objection to One G-d and one human race descended from Adam and Eve.
The Jew-hating "palaeo" right should indeed fuse with the neo-fascist, mystical nationalist Third World Left. They're the same thing.
The only other "gxd" and civilization the "proud white chr*stian" palaeos have any use for is that of the Arabs/moslems (a "mud people," ironically), because they actually kill Jews--something our evil but gutless "palaeos" doubtless do in their dreams.
Mr Trump branded
Mr Buchanan a "Hitler-lover", referring to a book in which Mr Buchanan said Britain and France should not have gone to war with Nazi Germany in 1939, and that the US should not have entered the fight even after Hitler invaded France. In December of 1991, William F. Buckley had a cover story in the National Review where he investigated the charges that Buchanan was antisemitic. WFB said he wasn't ready to call Buchanan an antisemite, but he also said he couldn't defend Buchanan from the charge.
On Nazis, Buchanan's own words:
1990: "The problem is: Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody."
- NY Post, March 17, 1990 (from a column about the trial of accused Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk)
1990: "Whatever Rudolph did during World War II, his quarter century of service to the United States entitles the old man to a public hearing before he goes to his grave."
- NY Post, July 14, 1990, on Arthur Rudolph, Nazi rocket scientist investigated by OSI who aided the American space program
1983: "Perhaps this endless search for Nazi war criminals, these endless re-enactments, on stage and screen, of Hitler’s concentration camps are good for the soul. To what end, however, all this wallowing in the atrocities of a dead regime when there is scarcely a peep of protest over the prison camps, the labor camps, the concentration camps operating now in China and Siberia, in Cuba and Vietnam."
- Washington Times, August 24, 1983
1977: "Those of us in childhood during the war years were introduced to Hitler only as a caricature…Though Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide, he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier’s soldier in the Great War, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him. But Hitler’s success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path."
- St. Louis Globe – Democrat, Aug 25, 1977
Has Pat Buchanan ever defended ANYONE who wasn't an accused antisemite or Nazi?
Buchanan was weaned on antisemitism. His father was an
America First nazi sympathizer.
Shame on conservative radio hosts and magazines who still give Buchanan a minute or an inch of attention.
