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.

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?

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

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.

You are so all over the map, it's barely worth the effort...

No one's "throwing around" the epithet of anti-Semitic. My charge is that Buchanan is definitely an anti-Semite, and since you can't see this despite quotes spanning 30 years, my suspicion is that you are too. This doesn't undermine other good things and causes he's stood for and supported, but it still makes him a brash idiot when addressing the Jews as a whole

Does defending the indefensible come naturally to you, or did you have to work at it after raping common sense? Anyone... anyone who still thinks Pat Buchanan isn't anti-Semitic (or at the absolute very least, anti-Israel... which I will not delineate between) is seriously in need of some soul searching
