Then why do all you Pat haters bother to comment?
I'm not a "Pat Hater". I agreed with many of the things Buchanan had to say about the culture war, immigration, abortion, the second amendment, and a fortress American strategy.
However, his stuff about Hitler came awful close to an apologia for Nazism. I don't like it when liberals apologize or rationalize for communism either.
The 2000 campaign, in which Pat received a $12,000,000 gift from the taxpayer, was the final straw for me, and many others sympathetic, but not committed to the man.
Buchanan's whining that his pathetic 0.5% showing in the popular vote was due to a media and debate freeze-out has some validity, but even his counterpart on the left, Nader managed 4%.
The American people made the only judgement that counts about Buchanan last November. Pat's quixotic campaigns for President were totally about enriching his coffers and bloating his ego. The man may be a good pundit, but he would make an awful leader.
Only the cult of personality types can't see this now.
