First of all these are not obvious conclusions.

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

Buchanan committed the unforgivable crime of helping prove that John Demjanjuk was not Ivan the Terrible of Treblinka. That embarassed a lot of people, and is the main reason there has been a smear campaign against Buchanan. End of story.

William F. Buckley? Why listen to a liberal? I know he is a liberal because he supported small government and libertarian principles, and the good folks on FreeRepublic such as yourself have made it abundantly clear that these are liberal politics, and those who espouse them are nothing less than dirty liberals. He even called for an end to the war on drugs and legalizing of marijuana. Who will you quote next to support your position, Barack Obama?

Oh, so now I am an anti-semite? Because I won't say somebody is an anti-semite even though they have never said anything suggesting they are. Just who do you not label with that particular pejorative? You obviously throw it around a lot. It makes me wonder. How do we know that, secretly, you are not actually an anti-semite? You seem very comfortable with the language. You're awfully defensive too. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
