I agree with Pat on virtually everything except Israel.
I find it hard to believe that Pitchfork Pat actually believes the nonsense he writes and says on the air. He used to be a lot of fun on the original “Crossfire”, and was involved in the 1980 debate talking points coaching (remember, the Carter campaign lost one of their coaching scripts used to prepare Carter for the debates, and the Reagan campaign was able to formulate devastating responses to each of Carter’s talking points?). That liberal guy, old guy, that was Buchanan’s opposite number on the show was prepared to shame Pat for the next hour or whatever, and wound up agreeing that there wasn’t anything wrong with what he’d done. It was hilarious. Back then, Buchanan was hiding most of what he was from the public. He doesn’t now.
