And what emperical evidence can you cite in support of your belief?

I'll answer that one. It is often said bigotry is based on stupidity and ignorance. If that's the case, how do you square that Buchanan's high education and intellegence. He got an Ivy league education back in the 1950's when you had to work your butt off to get high marks.

His traditional Cathlic upbringing (Pre-Vatican II) taught him that Jews were a nemesis of Catholics for the last 2000 years. That is the lens with which he views things, and nothing can be done to change that. I think he has a good heart but if you take a stand, you have to expect some heat. We'll see how this plays out over the coming years. Pray for the safety of America's servicemen.
