I hardly think the people on these boards taking direct quotes and drawing obvious conclusions about the nature of those who made them somehow equates us to the individual discussed.

First of all these are not obvious conclusions. They are absurd twisting of meaning. Secondly, I never equated you to Pat Buchanan. Pat Buchanan is a very intelligent and well spoken individual. I said that the tactic of hurling accusations of hate and bigotry because you don't like a person's position is what liberals do. Or perhaps you haven't been around long enough to hear what is said about people who oppose gay marriage, or affirmative action, or any number of other liberal causes by those who champion them. And by choosing to use that tactic you act like a liberal. No equating necessary.

Further implying that makes somehow makes me a Liberal is pretty classless, too. I can’t think of a nastier insult

Can't you? Perhaps you should try harder.

Accordng to experts, “Pat Buchanan” is an anagram for “jew hating pundit well past his relevance”

There, now I knew you could do it.

You really are dense.

"I find it impossible to defend Pat Buchanan against the charge that what he did and said during the period under examination amounted to anti-Semitism, whatever it was that drove him to say and do it: most probably, an iconoclastic temperament." William F. Buckley - 1990 in Newsweek

Unless you intend to prove you're a more capable defender of Pat Buchanan's intentions and honor than William F. Buckley, you can quit now while you're only modestly behind.

The original point is still true: Pat B doesn't feel too fondly about them crazy Israelites. He also accused Mossad of killing Vince Foster. In the late 1980s, he was an apologist for the Nazi camp-guards and various Nazi officials who had been tracked by both the Justice Dept and Israeli intelligence, basically saying justice 40 years later was not necessary. He expressed "regret" over the execution of Klaus Barbie. You can tell us we're acting like Liberals, not looking at the big picture, jumping to conclusions, whatever you'd like... If you listen to everything in context Pat Buchanan has said regarding the topic and still don't draw the conclusion he's not anti-Semitic, then it's painfully as obvious you don't like Jews much either
