It never takes long for some idiot to refer to Buchanan as a Nazi.
OK, aside Bush and friends name calling smear tactics to get Buchanan out of the Republican Party primary, just what tangible basis do you have for such an accusation?
He obviously doesn’t like US support for Israel. He also favors a Palestinian state and he was opposed to any military action against any Arab state.
Roger that. I don't ever remember Buchanan saying he'd use his Sec. State to try to intimidate Israel into giving up Jeruslam, the West Bank and Golan Hights. Can any rational thinking person not understand what the consequences of that would be? Heck, Pat just said quit giving Israel money not make them walk the plank.
actually, NO, he is not.
No matter what one thinks of him. Honestly, I doubt he could be elected dogcatcher.
Yes, but the last thing Buchannan is, is a socialist.
But he is a nationalist.
One can’t say the same about the Neocons and socialism.
One can, however, question their nationalism.

Do you recall President Reagan laying a wreath at the German military cemetery in Bitburg? That’s where the “Pat SS Buchanan” attack got started. There were SS troops buried there, and the Buchanan-haters attributed the idea of the wreath-laying and the selection of Bitburg to Buchanan, which they claim as evidence of his Nazi sympathies. I’m pretty sure I once heard Dennis Prager repeat the charge.
In fact the wreath ceremony and Bitburg were chosen by Michael Deaver, who served as Reagan’s advance man. Buchanan had nothing to do with the event, but since the Buchanan-haters hate him and not Michal Deaver, Buchanan gets to be the Nazi. As did President Reagan at the time, something conveniently forgotten by the crowd that likes to throw around charges of Nazism.
