As a hard-core Buchananite, I vehemently dispute this statement
and condemn it as propaganda designed to smear paleocons as racists.
There are many hot-button issues that distinguish paleocons from neocons. Support for the "right-to-life" being one of them.
Furthermore, paleoncons have a stronger "America First" perspective on a variety of issues, including trade and immigration. The paleocon view addresses not only the economic implications, but also the social implications of these issues. But in adressing the social implications, it is in terms of American society vs. foreign, or economic stratification within American society. It is NOT based on racial divisions as many seek to assert.
Rerea the whola article. Poe is not calling Paleos a bunch of racists. On the other hand, race is not the dividing line.

Go pick up some copies of The Weekly Standard. Neocons are prolife.

I agree here. However, you forgot to mention foreign policy.
