Maybe Pat's not an anti-semite. Maybe he just is indifferent to it.

This was WFB's conclusion in that epic issue of NR (it was Joe Sobran he determined to be truly anti-semetic). However, I think his tendency to be controversial where this topic is concerned stems as much from a compulsion to stick his thumb in his critics eyes. And of course make a few bucks in the process.

Too bad 'cause he undermines his own positions on other topics where his powers of persuation might do some good.

I remember when Sobran was writing for NR. He was a great writer. I understand, sadly, he’s a very bad lush. I’m not sure why he’s an anti-semite. I wonder if guys like him and Buchanan just think they’re so smart they can prove anything controversial. And, maybe, because the number of Paleocon Jews is so small they’re just mad at all Jews. I don’t know. But the bottom line for me on Pat is it this. Indifference to anti-semitism is unacceptable, and Pat surely is willing to cause a lot of pain with his crazy theories about Hitler. It’s hardly a Christian feeling he has for the Jews any time he discuss them and their suffering. In fact, he seems to think Holocaust has all been a hoot he can profit from.
