I think that if you were successful in getting Buchanan off the pages of the press as you suggest, then our arguments about the Leftists trying to silence people with whom they disagree will become a little more difficult to defend.

He can write anything he wants. But it's a free market. Is there anything wrong with telling a publication you don't like one of their columnists? I'm not saying he should be silenced. I'm saying that conservative publications should not give him a platform. Let him go find a left wing site to publish his garbage.

There’s a difference between silencing and ignoring.

I strongly oppose censorship, but Pat is spreading poison, and is used by the MSM to give the conservative movement a bad name.

I don’t care if he has an outlet; I just don’t want Pat Bunchanon to be the face of “conservatism.” He’s not, and we need to make that clear.
