So what if she was?
/raises eyebrow
A rebel reformer, from Buchanan's group, from outside the Beltway? Perhaps the blind squirrel McCain actually found a nut this time.
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.
Big F’n deal. Chris Matthews was a GW Bush supporter in 2000...or so he says.
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....

From one of the posts - “She (Palin) promptly responded to the story in a letter to the editor, that “the article may have left your readers with the perception that I am endorsing this candidate, as opposed to welcoming his visit to Wasilla. As mayor, I will welcome all the candidates in Wasilla.”
“AP reported Palin was “an official of Steve Forbes’ campaign that cycle.”
“...
it doesn’t appear Palin donated to Buchanan’s campaigns.”
The McCain campaign says that instead of supporting Buchanan — or even McCain — in 2000, Palin actually supported Steve Forbes.
And indeed, another AP story from August 7, 1999 — one month after the Buchanan trip to Wasilla — states that joining state sen. Mike Miller of Fairbanks on the Forbes campaign’s Alaska “leadership committee will be Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin, and former state GOP chairman Pete Hallgren, who will serve as co-chairs.”
And they're focusing on THIS but passing on Obama's ties with Ayers??? Not surprised.
She claimed that Jews were going to blow up the World Trade Center one of these days?
The Palins deny that they ever went to this fundraiser, and I will believe them over the bloviating Pat. Fundraising for national elections is heavily regulated, and if there were any truth to this story then it would be easy enough to back up with actual records.
I call BS on Pat's story.
LOL...this is too funny.
I dislike Pat Buchanan, I think he has jumped the shark and is out of touch, but he isn’t disreputable. Just dead wrong in many ways (in my opinion)
It isn’t like his name is Saul Alinsky, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers or Bernadette Dohrn.
This is the Liberal Left. Like Alex Baldwin in “Team America” sputtering “But...but...Global Warming...Corporate Greed...” the libs are spitting and sputtering in the same way.
It warms the cockles of my heart. They have absolutely no way to fight her, and they know it. This was GREAT! To announce her the day after the Obamessiah Coronation! Took the wind right out of their sails, it did!
There is a long way to go and a lot of hard fighting ahead, but this is a lot more hopeful than I expected it to be at this point. She is no messiah, and she is no Reagan, but politically she provides some glue to the party to help keep some of the real conservatives from peeling off because she IS a real conservative in the Phyllis Schalafly mold, and brings in a lot of women who will vote for her because, well...she is a woman. There are quite a few of them out there.
Another feather in her cap why she great. Go Pat GO!! Go Palin Go!!!
Obama supporters applauding Buchanan as he lavishes praise on The One.

Why has everyone stopped talking about Barack Hussein Obama’s associations? I can’t believe there are Americans who will actually vote for that guy, what a piece of shit.
“Was The Holocaust Inevitable?”

Buchanan is a lowlife.
i wouldn’t be surprised if she was at the fundraiser, but I’d be surprised if Buchanon knows whether she gave any money, much less whether she raised money for him from others (which I presume is what a “bridagier” is).
