Buchanan told Chris Matthews yesterday that Palin "was a brigader in 1996 as was her husband, Chris, they were at a fundraiser for me, she's a terrific gal, she's a rebel reformer."

/raises eyebrow

A rebel reformer, from Buchanan's group, from outside the Beltway? Perhaps the blind squirrel McCain actually found a nut this time.

Exactly. Moreover, Pat had not lost his sanity by the 1990’s.

Okay, someone here is bound to misconstrue that comment, so to be more specific: by "nut" I mean "something real" and not "someone crazy."

Please, dear God, don’t let Sarah and the McCain camp misplay this. Sarah Palin and her husband had a right to support whomever they wanted in 1996 — and if they liked Pat they should say so, loud and proud. Pat may at times be a bit of an oddball, but he’s not a raving racist like Barack Obama. Note to Sarah: Say, yeah, I like Pat. So what? Next question.

Actually I think it would help McCain if it were true.

But I did hear a rumor that Joe Biden was part of John Edwards’s brigade in ‘04.

Note: The slogan was originally posted to FR by Renfield. Islander7 created the graphic. I've merely taken the initiative in publicizing it. It's so good, it may well be the "Sore/Loserman" of the 2008 election.

Based upon your posting history, I don’t believe you.

Not such a big deal if she supported Buchanan or not. Buchanan is solid on social issues such as life, borders, affirmative action...However, he is a disaster on foreign policy and sometimes sounds like Kucinich. Unfortunately these days he spends 75%+ of the time discussing foreign policy (to the delight of his bosses as MSDNC). This was not always the case.

Big F’n deal. Chris Matthews was a GW Bush supporter in 2000...or so he says.

I understood it. blind squirrel / found nut...I wonder how she feels about Buchanan now. I’ll have to keep reading. Still won’t vote for McCain, but would like to know what we are in for if she becomes pres.

(like your tagline...my son’s fiance ALWAYS orders desert first ;)

Ummm, I’ve been posting on FR for more than 10 years, first as Elwoodp, now as HampdenKid. Plus, I have about 30 years of political consulting experience in Washington. So, actually, I have a pretty good grip. And this is one trap the McCain camp with its animosity towards Pat should not plunge Sarah Palin into.

Pat Buchanan has become the new David Duke to the Left. This is the most serious charge I’ve seen on Palin. I would believe her before I believe Buchanan though.

If they're smart, they'll ignore it.

Dear God forgive, for I have sinned.

Ten or twelve years ago, I bought a book authored by Pat Buchanan, and actually read it.

Moreover, I even agreed with some of what he had written it.

Please forgive this abject sinner, who is sincerely repentant for this grave sin of commission.

Also forgive me for all my other sins of peripheral association with other now unsavory characters, who were less seemingly sensible and upstanding then, but have since diverged from both my then and current views and beliefs, even as my views and beliefs have changed and (hopefully) matured over the years....
