If paleo-conservatives of Pat Buchanan's ilk aren't crypto-quasi-fascists then by God they'll pass muster until the real thing comes along!

[mhking]

Buchanan is full of himself and full of used food.

[Catspaw]

He sounds like Jim Moran.

[Guyin4Os]

Buchanan has gone so far to the anti-Israel right that the American leftists will start embracing him.

[anniegetyourgun]

And here I thought that Pat had read his bible....or at least enough to know who is really in the cross-hairs of the spirit of antichrist.

[veronica]

Same old same old, eh Quid?

[vishnu2]

There is a great deal of plausible truth in what he says. If Israel is our true freind then why do they sell any technological secret we give them to the Chinese?

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. And we're fighting Israel's wars how and where exactly?

[Cinnamon Girl]

Sorry, Pat, you're still an anti-semite.

[ConservativeConvert]

The simple fact is that America and Israel share common enemies and are fighting the same fight. For those to whom Sept 11th wasn't enough of a wake-up call, one can only assume it would take nuclear devastation to get the point. It is more than likely that Israel (Jews) will be, as always, the sacrificial lamb required to scare the world out of its stupor.

[Redleg Duke]

Pat Buchanan and "Douchbag" seem to cling together.

What a Jew-hating bastard he is!

[r9etb]

I knew from the headline alone that this came from the fetid pen of Mr. Patrick J. Shut-the-Buch-anan. Title and author say it all -- no point in reading after the byline. Sorry, pat.

[ModelBreaker]

For America is about to make a momentous decision: whether to launch a series of wars in the Middle East that could ignite the Clash of Civilizations against which Harvard professor Samuel Huntington has warned

Buchanan is blind. The clash is already here. It started in the early nineties--WTC, the Cole and 9/11. The Clintonistas resolutely ignored that it was here. Buchanan firmly sides with Clinton in wanting us to keep our head in the sand.

I have no particular attachment to Israel. It does not require one to see that the Clash of Civilizations is here. The only choice we have is when we respond to it. The longer Pat Buchanan can talk us into ignoring it, the worse it will be.

[ravingnutter]

Its membership lists and associations have been exposed and its motives challenged.

Yeah, right, Pat...every time you open your mouth you expose your associations, which makes me want to challenge YOUR motivations. I'd wager that God is not going to be pleased with your attitude, the day will come when you will rue your hateful diatribes.

We have one consolation...his opinions are even more irrelevant than the UN!

[sheik yerbouty]

Buchanan is becoming a caricature of Joe Kennedy Sr.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

To quote ramblings from a few anti-Zionist Jewish intellectuals proves nothing. Buchanan may not be an anti-Semite, but he's does a fair impression. The day we abandon Israel to the rabid, Jew haters in the U.N. is the day I want off this planet.

[KC_Conspirator]

Who wrote this? Jeanine Garofalo and Jim Moran?

[finnman69]

By the way Pat...you are NO conservative.

[xm177e2]

I guess Pat Buchanan doesn't think preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons is worth spending American blood. I would have to disagree, it will come back to cost us, tremendously. Iraq is merely the first stage, the real war is to topple the Iranian regime, restrict Hezbollah so there can be peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and ultimately to win over the Egyptian public to not hating America so much.

[republicman]

Anti war, anti Israel, Anti trade, anti corporations

Its remarkable how much Buchanen sounds like a liberal these days.

[prognostigaator]

"They charge us with anti-Semitism—i.e., a hatred of Jews for their faith, heritage, or ancestry.
False.
The truth is, those hurling these charges harbor a “passionate attachment” to a nation not our own that causes them to subordinate the interests of their own country and to act on an assumption that, somehow, what’s good for Israel is good for America. …"

Question :
Please explain the difference between a Zionist Jew and an American Jew.

Might the answer be that the American Jew would not 'subordinate' American interests over that of another nation [Israel]-or for that matter, any citizen of the United States who hyphenates the name of their original homeland when describing themselves as an American..... ?
