“But I wonder what the general reaction would be to an enthusiastic, unabashed call to freepers to expunge Pat Buchanan from conservatism. Thoughts?”

I don’t know; I am composing my emails now.

I ask others to join in.

Pat gives conservatives a bad name, and needs to go away. He does not represent conservatives and should not be used as our voice.

Can I get second? (Or a third, as I think Huck is my second.)

I just posted a vanity on the subject. Maybe we can at least get a freeper discussion going on it and see what happens.

Hopefully it doesn’t become a flame war/dustup.

I do not know if it's actually possible to expunge someone from conservatism (do we make him turn in his passkey and then we change the secret codes?) but I hate like hell that this anti-Semite is seen by anyone as representing conservatives. I don't give a damn how spot-on he is on any issue: His unabashed hatred of all things Hebrew negates everything about him. Everything. I would like to see him publicly denounced by every and all true conservatives, especially those with high profiles, whether they are talk show hosts, legislators, businessmen, CPAC members--all of 'em. He needs to be shunned.

I agree with you. This column by Buchanan is ridiculous. He is distorting history to try and reform the image of Hitler and the Nazis.

Why?

I don’t know and I really don’t care. Hitler and the Nazi Party initiated the holocaust and plunged the world into the costliest war history.

Buchanan has lost his mind.
