His derisive comments against Jews and Israel always made it clear that he had no use for either. This fact shook up a LOT of Christian, Republican base support big time. That support has never been restored. Buchanan never cared, either— he was that invested in denigrating the Jews.
I would bank that conservative as he is on so many issues, and his veiling his Jewish aversions in “isolationism”, that he would flare his anti-semitism and find his netherregion banned on FR, in short order. Just a guess.
The vast majority of “Isolationists” just believe we are fighting the wrong enemy.
That wouldn’t surprise me at all. He seems to be a bitter and mean-spirited man.
“Accusations of antisemitism and Holocaust diminution[edit]
Buchanan has written about the Holocaust and engaged in the defense of some accused of Nazi war crimes.
For example, Buchanan wrote that it was impossible for 850,000 Jews to be killed by diesel exhaust fed into the gas chamber at Treblinka. Such statements have led to accusations that he has helped legitimize Holocaust denial. When George Will challenged him about it on TV, Buchanan failed to reply.
In 1983 he criticized the U.S. Government for expressing regret over its postwar protection of Klaus Barbie. In 1985, Buchanan advocated restoring the citizenship of Arthur Rudolph, an ex-Nazi rocket scientist accused of employing slave labor at a V-2 plant. In 1987, Buchanan lobbied to stop deportation of Karl Linnas, accused of atrocities in Estonia. In 1991 William F. Buckley, Jr. wrote a 40,000-word National Review article discussing anti-Semitism amongst conservative commentators focused largely on Buchanan; the article and many responses to it were collected in the book In Search of Anti-Semitism (1992). He concluded: “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.”[18][19]
The Anti-Defamation League has called Buchanan an “unrepentant bigot” who “repeatedly demonizes Jews and minorities and openly affiliates with white supremacists.”[20]
Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said about Buchanan that “There’s no doubt he makes subliminal appeals to prejudice.”[21]
Buchanan has adamantly denied that he is antisemitic, and a number of conservatives and his journalistic colleagues, some of them Jewish, including Jack Germond, Al Hunt, and Mark Shields, have defended him against the charge.”
