Pat Buchanan is NOT racist and it is a shame that he gets that label.

In his recent article on the Pope, Buchanan revealed himself to be a lying sack of sh*t not much different from his left-wing counterparts. He thinks it's ok to portray the Pope as an evil communist based on words he did not say, so there's no reason for Buchanan to object when someone draws a caricature of him being a racist/nazi/whatever.

This Pope is a South American liberation theology steeped in Marxism, Pope. Pat, who is a traditional Catholic doesn’t like that. Neither do I, and neither do most conservative Catholics. Bring back Pope Benedict XVI!

Non sequitur.

You're engaging in clumsy propaganda.

You're correct that the Pope should not be portrayed as an evil communist based on words he did not say.

But it's entirely fair to portray the Pope as a well-meaning Marxist, based on words he has said.

When the Pope repeatedly rails against Capitalism and then offers or implies Marxist alternatives as a solution, it's pretty straightforward to draw such a conclusion.

I'm not aware of Buchanan portraying the Pope as an evil communist, but in any event, being a communist is simply a misguided and ignorant political belief system.

To most objective People, that is qualitatively different than being a racist or Nazi. It's wrong to engage in such a smear of Pat Buchanan when there is no basis whatsoever provided in anything he has ever said.

Like Trump, Pat Buchanan often ignores the false boundaries dictated by political correctness.
