Thanks for posting the text of the speech. Over years of lurking here on Free Republic, I have always been fascinated by the hatred aroused by Buchanan.

I fault his critics here not so much for disagreeing with him, but for employing the same smear & guilt by association tactics the Left uses to villify without having to bother with intelligent debate.

A lazy (& dangerous) but sadly increasingly popular way to conduct political discourse.

Exactly. It is amazing how much the terms "hate-filled" and "racist" have been thrown around on this thread without any factual support. Some of his speeches and commentaries enrage me and some inspire me, depending on the topic. But all are well delivered and supported, and none leave any basis for calling him a bigot.
