He is simply an out-and-out Nazi. Nothing more.

[denydenydeny]

As I’ve said before, this business of equating Israel with the Nazis is a form of Holocaust denial. If Gaza = Auschwitz, then the Holocaust no longer has any meaning.

Of course, coming from Pat, it’s no surprise at all.

[CodeToad]

Has Pat been right about anything? I mean on purpose and not by accident.

[Mogwai]

Really hard not to suspect Pitchfork Pat has it in for Jews. He consistently takes an anti-Israeli position. He supports their anti-Western Arab and Muslim antagonists. And he sticks up for those accused of Nazi war crimes against Jews despite being generally anything but a civil libertarian. In my view, it takes anti-Semitism to make it possible for such contradictions to cohabit in one mind. I revile his apparent anti-Semitism, but there's a lot I like about Pat.

[popdonnelly]

Why doesn’t Buchanan go join Hamas? Or book a ticket on Cynthia McKinney’s Peace Boat?

[Dawgreg]

Put Buchanan and Blo’Reilly in the same room and the joint would blow up.........hot gas explosion. I can’t stand either one of those pompous arseholes.

[Desron13]

What a simp. If the Israelis waged a Blitzkrieg the way the Germans did in WWII there would be very few Palis left alive in Gaza by now and the whole stretch of land would be in smoldering ruins. The Blitzkrieg was an armored fist backed by both light and heavy mechanized infantry and supported by close attack aircraft directed against the weakest point of an enemies line. The idea was to break through, fan out, and attack at his rear. It implies that your enemy actually has a line to break through. The only line that the cowards in Hamas employ are their women and children. The one thing that old Pat is right about is the concentration camp part. Unfortunately, it's one of Hamas’ making. Not Israel.

[exit82]

Pat is like a crazy old uncle—a Jew hating crazy old uncle.

I wish he would shut up—I can’t stand the sound of his whiny nasal voice.

He has a history of pro-Nazi, anti Semitic remarks.

No surprise here.

[MarkL]

I hereby volunteer to spit in Pat’s face. I used to like the guy. Not anymore.

[PeteePie]

Pat, sit down and color.

[SkipW]

To be very frank, Pat Buchannan is an anti-semetic and a racist. I have at least one of his books and there are some exellent points made in what he writes. Sometimes. At other times he comes across like the jerk he is.

[RichInOC]

Pat, if Israel really worked that way, they’d own most of what we call the Arab world, and the last Palestinian would have gone up the smokestack a long time ago.

[tarheelswamprat]

...Buchanan accused Israel of carrying out a "blitzkrieg" against Gaza and turning it into a "concentration camp."

Could that be because a "blitzkrieg" response is a completely appropriate response to years of Hamas' and Hezbollah's "V-1 and V-2 Nazi terror rocket-type" attacks on Israeli cities and citizens. Perhaps Buchanan should talk with the surviving WW II-era Brits about the proper response to terror-rocket barrages...

[VeniVidiVici]

Buchanan has always been pro-Arab.

Why do you think the idiots down in S.Florida blamed him when saying their votes were recorded incorrectly for Buchanan and not Gore in 2000?

Because they knew noone would believe a bunch of transplanted NY Jews would vote for Buchanan (but they still couldn’t explain their stupidity for not understanding the butterfly ballot)

[NoLibZone]

"is it really necessary to employ terms associated with the Nazis?"

For antisemites such as Pat, the answer is - yes!

[monkeyshine]

Buchanan’s continued hyperbolic rhetoric strongly implies he is an antizionist. He intentionally uses Holocaust and WW2 references to make the not-so-subtle point that he doesn’t particularly care for Jews either. He doesn’t care about their feelings when he uses such rhetoric, nor does he seem to care to distinguish between Jews and Israelis.

To the extent that Gaza is any sort of camp, it was not created by Israel. The UN made much of Gaza a refugee camp. The UN and the rest of the world perpetuates conflict by not in any meaningful way attempting to improve the refugee camps, resettle permanently the refugees, or otherwise help the Palestinians learn how to be productive world citizens. They make almost nothing and contribute almost nothing to worldwide productivity.

Gaza was not created by Israel it was captured by Israel. Egypt doesn’t want it. Israel doesn’t want it. Maybe nobody wants it, except maybe the Palestinians, but they don’t want it enough to care for it, keep it clean, keep it safe, keep it out of harms way.

This problem will only be solved when the western world grows a pair of testicals and says to the Palestinians “get your sh*t together, stop fighting, and build a state for your people”. Bill Clinton was going to give them $30 billion — and they could have raised a lot more on top of that — if they made peace with Israel from Oslo. They chose intifada instead. And they chose it because they get billions anyway, and so why make peace when there is a chance (however remote) that someday they might win their war?

Thanks for the thread. I just emailed the link to my husband, who is a Buchanan fan. While I recognize that he is an intelligent man, I have never liked Buchanan. This is one very big reason why.

[MeanWestTexan]

Buchanon gives conservativs a bad name.

He should be shunned.

[windsorknot]

Buchanenwald must constantly struggle to keep his arm from shooting up in a Nazi salute a la Strangelove.
