I wish I could remember Buckley's case against Sobran, it was awhile ago. But I do remember it was compelling.
Buchanan is as anti-semitic (or anti-Israeli if you prefer... I guess Jews are okay, as long as they’re not living in their own homeland) as they come... he practically supports pushing them into the sea. There has never been one foreign policy issue with Israel/”Palestine”, Israel/Iran, Israel/Lebanon, Israel/Syria... etc. ad nauseam ad infinitum where Pat has sided with Israel.
And Pat was a big defender of Sobran against Buckley. Buckley also stated that it is “hard to defend Pat Buchanan from the charge of anti-semitism.”
I don’t hate Buchanan. I like him on some issues. I like Mel Gibson’s movies. But they’re both raving anti-semites.
Just a question: are all of these guys Pre-Vatican II Catholics? Not saying that all Pre-Vatican II Catholics are anti-semitics but they seem to be the only Catholics that are anti-semitic when Catholics happen to be anti-semitic. I just don’t know why.
FWIW, I’m a Reformed guy... and we have some in our camp as well... starting with Luther himself.
