Ping.

[Mr. Mojo]

Batty Patty's been steadily inching forward to a position of defending all of Nazi Germany's moves. We'll see it when his senility is in full bloom. ...which shouldn't be too long, I suspect.

Mullah Pat gets a well-earned thrashing here.

Amazing. So, Pat thinks that if only the Poles had given up Danzig, Herr Hitler would have tended his garden quietly, painted some water colors, and stood as a bulwark against Bolshevism? Just as Barry is thinking, “If only those stubborn Israelis would go back to the 1967 borders.” Troublesome Poles, stubborn Israelis, darn those people who refuse to negotiate at gunpoint.

Hmmmmm.... Pat makes Hitler look like a good guy.

Of course, by his logic, we should give LA back to Mexico.

Pat Buchanan is a not so crypto-nazi.

Pat Buchanan is a discruntled pedant who never recovered from the collapse of his brief flicker of fame as another “maverick” presidential candidate.

Hitler had not wanted war with Poland.

Why of course not. It would be silly to assume that just because he invaded Poland meant he wanted war. We all know how much Hitler loved peace and hated war. < /s>

Honestly, I think both Jimmy Carter and Pat Buchanan are suffering from age-related dementia, and that certain sinister operatives are shrewdly taking advantage of this.

[Skooz]

Pat needs to learn the difference between reason and pretext.

[yldstrk]

Pat lost all his marbles.

[Revolting cat!]

Let's first make it clear that it wasn't about Poland "giving up Danzig", which was a Free City at the time, and contrary to what Buch says it wasn't nearly 95% German. It was multi-culti long before multi-culti was the latest dance craze. Anyway, the dispute was about Poland not wanting to grant Germany a protected corridor to Danzig through her territory.

Second point to make is that I recall when the Liberals called Buch a secret Hitler admirer. I and others defended him at the time. The Libs were right for once, the verdict is in now.

This hit my email yesterday, and all I could think was that the anti-semite Pat was baaaacckkkkk!

He’ll have a couple of good articles, and then he’ll have another that sounds like a throwback to him and Dick Nixon griping in the oval office about the jooooos

[goldstategop]

Its a stupid argument. The historical record shows Hitler wanted war and after Munich, was anxious to avoid having to settle for another bloodless victory. He wanted war with Poland because he was sure he could win and no one could stop him. As they say, the rest was history.

pat must love that "danzig var und est eine deutsche staat" stuff from those old rip roaring speeches

[familyop]

No one should be surprised that Pat forgets his usual slippery rhetorical methods and comes halfway out of his closet once in a while. It’s really interesting to me, though, that his propaganda support continues to come from globalist import business: self-perceived citizens of the world. For so long, he’s pretended to be a protectionist in order to fool readers about his service to fascists (who prefer business with communist nations).

[TigersEye]

This is nothing new. I remember Pat making the same convoluted justifications for Hitler in the ‘80s.

[streetpreacher]

I don't see Pat blaming Poland or anyone else for that matter. I see him making an analysis of history and a knee-jerk reaction from bloggers.

“But the Poles refused to negotiate. Why? Because they were a proud, defiant, heroic people and because Neville Chamberlain had insanely given an unsolicited war guarantee to Poland. If Hitler invaded, Chamberlain told the Poles, Britain would declare war on Germany.”

Sounds like Pat simply made the point that Poland was emboldened because of Chamberlain's war guarantee. Much ado about nothing. Now let's turn it into a 200 post thread.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

From a historical standpoint, Buchanan is right guys.

Since when did FReepers put knee-jerk emotion over facts and logic?
