I simply don't listen to Buchanan anymore.

An un-American conservative

[MEG33]

I failed to read this rant thinking it was about Buchanan! If facism comes to America? This is nuts!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Buchanan is, as of now, an irrelevant troll.

He needs to launch a Putsch against the current President to become the darling of the media.

[hchutch]

Either that or to continue with his drivel.

The man is sure acting like an anti-Semite.

[Ebenezer]

Ho hum! Folks like Pat Buchanan and Joe Sobran have become irrelevant among conservative thinkers in America. Truly wise men don't see conspiracies (Jewish or otherwise) every time America's interests are at stake; it is intellectually lazy (and dishonest) to do so.

[Captain Kirk]

Typical screed from a man who has no argument. Anytime anyone disagres with him call him "un-American." Pretty slimy.

Another reason to think liberals are insane. When Pat Buchanan was part of the Republican party, the Republican party was the "extreme right-wingnuts party" because of him. When Buchanan leaves what happens? They love Pat (because he hates Bush) and somehow think Republicans have become even more right-wing. Where's the logic in that?

Justin Raimondo quoted in an article? I clicked my browser back button right there.

Buchanan's biggest problem is that he understands the Constitution better than most neo-cons (is that short for the "new con job"?) and in the face of opposition that contains heavy doses of ignorance and arrogance he continues to persevere.

[Righter-than-Rush]

It seems that the poster's intention was to discredit Buchanan. He failed. The article was about conservativism. Buchanan remains the most apolitical conservative figure in the media.

[Hugin]

At the forefront of what might be called the post-Russell Kirk wing of traditional conservatism is Patrick J. Buchanan,

The author is under a mistaken impression if he thinks that PJB is at the forefront of anything. The number of Pat's followers is well within the statistical margin of error from zero. He is not a leader of any appreciable number of conservatives, neo or paleo.

[american spirit]

I agree but I would add that it's just as lazy to sit around thinking that everything just happens by accident and there are no hidden agendas among politicians or the wealthy.

[George W. Bush]

Much ado about nothing. Buchanan is completely irrelevant. Even this article gives his current prospects for political influence far too much credence.

[Gee Wally]

Buchanan's biggest problem is that he understands the Constitution better than most neo-cons

I'd be interested in seeing some examples to illustrate this assertion.
