Nice post. Pat spares noone. He is right on the target.

Pat Buchanan's "A Study in Appeasement

For a minute, I thought he was writing about himself.

[Theodore R.]

I thought that I posted the title of the article, "A Study in Appeasement." Did I get it wrong?

[KantianBurke]

Wow! A Pat B. article that is spot on. Red letter day indeed.

[JesseHousman]

Big Bump For Pat!

[Dane]

Gee no criticism of the liberal media that lionizes and gives a boost the poverty and race pimps.

Oh that's right Pat doesn't have the cajones to criticize where his paycheck comes from.

[TomB]

I thought that I posted the title of the article, "A Study in Appeasement." Did I get it wrong?

No, you got it right. But since Pat spends so much time recommending we appease the Arabs by removing support for Israel, I thought he was talking about himself.

[Luis Gonzalez]

So Pat's advice to the GOP is to act just like the DNC...so that he can go on claiming that there's no difference between the two?

I suggest that the GOP should treat the NAACP the same way it treats Pat Buchanan, ignore them.

They are equally irrelevant, Pat and Mfume.

[eskimo]

So Pat's advice to the GOP is to act just like the DNC...

No, his advice is that they do not. Your purposefully twisted interpretation is way too obvious.

[bayourod]

"Dick Armey wrote to Kweisi Mfume, his former House colleague and NAACP president, that Bond's screed was "racial McCarthyism""

What does Armey have against McCarthy?

[Cacophonous]

When has Buchanan lionized and given boost to poverty and race pimps?

[Cacophonous]

Armey personifies the "cojones-less" Republicans that Buchanan is speaking of.

[Dane]

When has Buchanan lionized and given boost to poverty and race pimps?

By not giving criticism to those who do. The Liberal media in which he is employed.

[Luis Gonzalez]

BS...take some remedial reading skills classes.

"What might the GOP do? Exactly what Democrats would do, were they in power and a Christian Coalition leader unleashed such partisan bile on their president and party. Demand an IRS audit of its tax exemption. Red-line out from the budget all discretionary funding for its programs. Have the House speaker write to corporate contributors of the organization to tell them this is an unfriendly act."

"Conservative groups should ferret out the big donors to the NAACP and publish their names, so stockholders can respond to Bond's slanders. Congress could act to break up big foundations like Ford, longtime financier of the NAACP, and require foundations to expend 7 percent of their assets yearly until they go out of business."

"Play hardball with people who play hardball with you."

It's EXACTLY what Pat thinks the GOP should do.

[Cacophonous]

Buchanan was advising the GOP play hardball, and not appease the race baiters. I guess by your rejection of this strategy you would rather they - the GOP - appease the race baiters?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Buchanan was advising the GOP to behave as liberals in power behave.

By engaging race baiters you give them a forum for their bile.

Ignore them.

[Cacophonous]

By not giving criticism to those who do. The Liberal media in which he is employed.

Gotcha. I guess the same is true of George Will, Michelle Malkin, Robert Novak...

Be assured too, by this column, a candid look at media bias, in which he concludes that mainstream media is indeed liberal, while acknowledging successes of more conservative outlets:

Undoubtedly you had simply forgotten this column, since your sweeping statement indicated a familiarity with Buchanan that can come only with study. Unless you were just mindlessly running your mouth without benefit of engaging your brain. Which you would not do.

[Cacophonous]

Hmm...third time I've had this conversation on different topics. "Ignore them" must be the latest in the GOP marching orders. Must have missed that memo.

[Dane]

Gotcha. I guess the same is true of George Will, Michelle Malkin, Robert Novak..

Gotcha again. George Will doesn't overtly diss Republicans like his other counterparts at the WP.

JMO, the editors at the WP probably hate his writing, but keep him because he brings in readers and he can carry a TV show, not like Georgie Steponallofus.

The dream, IMO, for the WP editors would be to have Georgie as a columnist and gaining ratings as a political pundit, but alas that will never happen.

As for Michelle Malkin, who is she syndicated with.

And for Novak, why does he have the name as the "dark prince" within his own DC journalistic communtity.

But what the hey you had to find some excuse for your hero Pat to give Monica's to his TV co-host Bill Press, every afternoon on MSNBC.
