ON JEWS:
Buchanan referred to Capitol Hill as "Israeli-occupied territory."
(St. Louis Post Dispatch, 10/20/90)
During the Gulf crisis: "There are only two groups that are beating
the drums for war in the Middle East -- the Israeli defense ministry and
its 'amen corner' in the United States." ("McLaughlin Group," 8/26/90)
In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler's anti-Semitic and
genocidal tendencies, he was "an individual of great courage...Hitler's
success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an
intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness
masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood
in his path." (The Guardian, 1/14/92)
Writing of "group fantasies of martyrdom," Buchanan challenged the
historical record that thousands of Jews were gassed to death by diesel
exhaust at Treblinka: "Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide
to kill anybody." (New Republic, 10/22/90) Buchanan's columns have run in
the Liberty Lobby's Spotlight, the German-American National PAC newsletter
and other publications that claim Nazi death camps are a Zionist
concoction.
Buchanan called for closing the U.S. Justice Department's Office of
Special Investigations, which prosecuted Nazi war criminals, because it was
"running down 70-year-old camp guards." (New York Times, 4/21/87)
Buchanan was vehement in pushing President Reagan -- despite protests
-- to visit Germany's Bitburg cemetery, where Nazi SS troops were buried.
At a White House meeting, Buchanan reportedly reminded Jewish leaders that
they were "Americans first" -- and repeatedly scrawled the phrase
"Succumbing to the pressure of the Jews" in his notebook. Buchanan was
credited with crafting Ronald Reagan's line that the SS troops buried at
Bitburg were "victims just as surely as the victims in the concentration
camps." (New York Times, 5/16/85; New Republic, 1/22/96)
After Cardinal O'Connor criticized anti-Semitism during the
controversy over construction of a convent near Auschwitz, Buchanan wrote:
"If U.S. Jewry takes the clucking appeasement of the Catholic cardinalate
as indicative of our submission, it is mistaken. When Cardinal O'Connor of
New York seeks to soothe the always irate Elie Wiesel by reassuring him
'there are many Catholics who are anti-Semitic'...he speaks for himself. Be
not afraid, Your Eminence; just step aside, there are bishops and priests
ready to assume the role of defender of the faith." (New Republic,
10/22/90)
The Buchanan '96 campaign's World Wide Web site included an article
blaming the death of White House aide Vincent Foster on the Israeli
intelligence agency, Mossad -- and alleging that Foster and Hillary
Clinton were Mossad spies. (The campaign removed the article after its
existence was reported by a Jewish on-line news service; Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, 2/21/96.)
In his September 1993 speech to the Christian Coalition, Buchanan
declared: "Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our
religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free." (ADL
Report, 1994)
Well, this may have upset Abe Foxman, but Buchanan was on target. Western culture is superior, and Christianity is the prime ingredient of Western culture.
Well that was a mouth full I must say. I must congratulate you on how you were able to twist and distort and to use half truths to make it appear that Pat is anti-semitic. You seem to say that if Pat disagress with Israel or if he has an issue with Jews or the actions of some Jews then you are are anti-semitic. So you say that if you disagree with what a Jew says you immediately become a Jew hater. That is ridiculous. Buchanan has never never denied the holocaust.I could easily take what you said and turn it around and make you look anti-christian.I will however not resort to the same tactic as you did. By the way Mr.Goerbels was also good at that as well.You sir are simply wrong.
His constant anti israel-anti -jewish diatribes have made him clownish.I used to respect him untill i saw his and Novacks overriding hatred ,makes them bad representatives of conservatism..He should use W H Buckley as an example. Pat--you have become a Fool as much as cindy shehag is.put a sock in it YOU PAT are ANTI AMERICAN, YOU PAT ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE EVIL ONES,YOU PAT GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO THE SLIME THAT IS AMERICAS ENEMY-SO SHUT UP!!!
Wow, a skinhead with rheumatoid arthritis.
