'Pitchfork Pat'...
DISGUSTING
Mr. Buchanan's obvious, bitter hatred of Israel and Jews has led him into a fit of editorial distemper. The man has become a despicable travesty, losing whatever respect as a commentator he may have once had.
Supposedly, when you write columns above a certain word count your real personality comes out. You express your darkest thoughts, like anti-Semitism, which you normally harbor in secret. Obviously Pat's one of those angry-writers. And his brain's got to be pickled by now.
If Israel is not in violation of the principle of proportionality, by which Christians are to judge the conduct of a just war, what can that term mean? There are 600 civilian dead in Lebanon, 19 in Israel, a ratio of 30-1, though Hezbollah is firing unguided rockets, while Israel is using precision-guided munitions.
really? is that how Christians are supposed to fight lose wars? this is bizarre.
I hate it when the Left turns out to be correct about people who self-identify as "conservatives". And it seems to happening a lot lately.
Ah, the little Nazi whines again! Pat Buchanan doesn't even make it to has-been - he's a never-was. Brownshirt Buchanan blames all of the world's troubles on the Jews. He's no different than a long line of anti-semites through history. Pat has no real credibility with real conservatives since he ran for president with a Marxist as his VP candidate. For Pat, its just about face time and making money. He's a perennial loser now, and a bitter one at that.
"Sunday, in Qana," didn't the roof fall in hours after the attack?

On Jews
Buchanan referred to Capitol Hill as "Israeli-occupied territory." (St. Louis Post Dispatch, 10/20/90) During the Gulf crisis: "There are only two groups that are beating the drums for war in the Middle East -- the Israeli defense ministry and its 'amen corner' in the United States." ("McLaughlin Group," 8/26/90)
In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler's anti-Semitic and genocidal tendencies, he was "an individual of great courage...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." (The Guardian, 1/14/92)
Writing of "group fantasies of martyrdom," Buchanan challenged the historical record that thousands of Jews were gassed to death by diesel exhaust at Treblinka: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody." (New Republic, 10/22/90) Buchanan's columns have run in the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight, the German-American National PAC newsletter and other publications that claim Nazi death camps are a Zionist concoction. Buchanan called for closing the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, which prosecuted Nazi war criminals, because it was "running down 70-year-old camp guards." (New York Times, 4/21/87)
Buchanan was vehement in pushing President Reagan -- despite protests -- to visit Germany's Bitburg cemetery, where Nazi SS troops were buried. At a White House meeting, Buchanan reportedly reminded Jewish leaders that they were "Americans first" -- and repeatedly scrawled the phrase "Succumbing to the pressure of the Jews" in his notebook. Buchanan was credited with crafting Ronald Reagan's line that the SS troops buried at Bitburg were "victims just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps." (New York Times, 5/16/85; New Republic, 1/22/96)
After Cardinal O'Connor criticized anti-Semitism during the controversy over construction of a convent near Auschwitz, Buchanan wrote: "If U.S. Jewry takes the clucking appeasement of the Catholic cardinalate as indicative of our submission, it is mistaken. When Cardinal O'Connor of New York seeks to soothe the always irate Elie Wiesel by reassuring him 'there are many Catholics who are anti-Semitic'...he speaks for himself. Be not afraid, Your Eminence; just step aside, there are bishops and priests ready to assume the role of defender of the faith." (New Republic, 10/22/90)
The Buchanan '96 campaign's World Wide Web site included an article blaming the death of White House aide Vincent Foster on the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad -- and alleging that Foster and Hillary Clinton were Mossad spies. (The campaign removed the article after its existence was reported by a Jewish on-line news service; Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 2/21/96.)
In his September 1993 speech to the Christian Coalition, Buchanan declared: "Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free." (ADL Report, 1994)
bellowed an Israeli general
Gillerman, at a pro-Israel rally in New York, thundered
Why? Because, says Zbigniew Brzezinski, AIPAC, the Israeli lobby, had prepared the resolution and wanted it passed the way they wrote it. Our Knesset complied.
Never mind the rest of the garbage
Jews roar, bellow and thunder.
Raw anti Semitism of purported Jewish control of the American Government is gently "said".
I have always thought of Buchanan as someone who would not personally get his hands dirty. As someone who would only sit at the Wannsee Conference and organize the train schedule. I've changed my mind. I believe his hatred is so deep that nothing else but killing Jews with his bare hands would satiate him.
Buchanan is such an idiot.
Look out Mel Gibson. Here comes Patty boy.
Is Buchanan a Jew hater or a terrorist lover? Or is there is any difference?
Patrick Buchanan is not a follower of Y'shua;he is a racist pagan doing the work for the Evil One
Pat's not a very well-informed Catholic.
"If Israel is not in violation of the principle of proportionality, by which Christians are to judge the conduct of a just war, what can that term mean? There are 600 civilian dead in Lebanon, 19 in Israel, a ratio of 30-1, though Hezbollah is firing unguided rockets, while Israel is using precision-guided munitions."
The principle of proportionality does NOT mean you gotta get as many of your folks killed off as you kill off the other guy.
What an idiot.
Proportionality means that the harm you inflict must be at least commensurate with the good that you're trying to achieve.
In that Israel if fighting to survive, for its existence, to prevent some millions of Jews from being murdered by Muslims, that seems commensurate to a whole bunch more than 600 lives, many of whom actually are illegal, immoral combatants.
I'm applauding!
