[malaise]

after the fight with Tweety over Obama's qualifications.

<snip>
Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan got into a long argument on Tuesday's "Hardball" about President Obama's academic credentials.

"These are legitimate questions!" he exclaimed, wondering why Matthews was supporting what he called Obama's "right to conceal" his academic records. He guessed that Obama's rise through the Ivy League ranks was "affirmative action all the way."

"Why is it your guess?" Matthews asked. "...How do you make these assumptions? Do you know how this bothers people that you make these charges?"

"What am i supposed to become a master of his paperwork?" Matthews said. He told Buchanan that his arguments were one of the reasons that black Americans were often driven "crazy" by political discourse. Obama, he pointed out, had, by all accounts, had a stellar academic career, "and you still don't buy it. You don't buy him." He noted that "I got my job here without ever showing any paperwork from school."

I haven't seen him since and his absence since Bin Laden suggests that he was either fired or he is ill.

1. the latter would be preferable...sorry, but Buchanan is the scum of the Earth

no redeeming qualities: homophobe, racist, anti-Semite, Holocaust-denying, Nazi-loving, RW Fool.

[malaise]

You're 100% correct

:hi:

[Snedder]

9. Not 100%

Buchanan IS racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and antisemitic. But he's not a Holocaust-denier.

[Enthusiast]

2. Pat Buchanan praised Hitler.

Pat is worse than Tweety.

[PA Democrat]

3. He's probably off attending a Klan convention somewhere.

I find it strange that while Uncle Pat gets so worked up at the very possibility of affirmative action, he is apparently just fine with legacy admissions to top colleges for the likes of Bush.

[malaise]

5. It's not hard when you're a racist scumbag

who is still angry that his gang got caught. :hi:

[Kahuna]

4. Should have after he repeated the trump charge that Obama

got to Harvard because of affirmative action. But, I somehow doubt it. bucchannan has gotten away with much more.

[malaise]

6. But he hasn't crawled out since Bin Laden

which suggests fired or ill. I mean he would have been all over praising Bush for taking out Bin Laden.

7. Pat Buchanan in His Own Words

Even though these are old Its still Pat

there is much more at the link.



Race

In a memo to President Nixon, Buchanan suggested that "integration of blacks and whites -- but even more so, poor and well-to-do -- is less likely to result in accommodation than it is in perpetual friction, as the incapable are placed consciously by government side by side with the capable." (Washington Post, 1/5/92)


In a column sympathetic to ex-Klansman David Duke, Buchanan chided the Republican Party for overreacting to Duke and his Nazi "costume": "Take a hard look at Duke's portfolio of winning issues and expropriate those not in conflict with GOP principles, reverse discrimination against white folks." (syndicated column, 2/25/89)


Trying to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that "white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this." (syndicated column, 2/7/90) He referred admiringly to the apartheid regime as the "Boer Republic": "Why are Americans collaborating in a U.N. conspiracy to ruin her with sanctions?" (syndicated column, 9/17/89)

OTHER STUFF
In Right from the Beginning, Buchanan refers to Spanish dictator Francisco Franco as a "Catholic savior." He called Franco, along with Chile's Gen. Pinochet, "soldier-patriots." (syndicated column 9/17/89) Both men overthrew democracy in their countries.


"The real liberators of American women were not the feminist noise-makers, they were the automobile, the supermarket, the shopping center, the dishwasher, the washer-dryer, the freezer." (Right from the Beginning, p. 149)




Buchanan called for closing the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, which prosecuted Nazi war criminals, because it was "running down 70-year-old camp guards." (New York Times, 4/21/87)


In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler's anti-Semitic and genocidal tendencies, he was "an individual of great courage.... Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path." (Guardian, 1/14/92)

12. Thanks for that Ichingcarpenter

He is a thoroughbred scumbag. :hi:

[customerserviceguy]

8. He wasn't on McLaughlin Group last week

I'll see if he's on next week. McLaughlin wouldn't fire him, he might be ill.

[City Lights]

10. Buchanan disgusts me.

He's a big part of the reason I stopped watching daytime msnbc. My departure was preceded by numerous emails, faxes, and at least one phone call informing them of my disgust with him. msnbc should have given Unka Pat his pink slip years ago. I hope it's finally happened.

[opihimoimoi]

11. +1....he is UnAmerican.....

[SoCalDem]

13. Fired?..Ill? I don't care which.. if he's NOT on tv, I;m a happy camper

Someone needs to find a time machine & send him back to the Antebellum South..that's where he would fit in the most appropriately

[malaise]

15. ROFL

:rofl:

[sufrommich]

14. I love how these right wingers are just sure that Obama got

into an ivy league college using affirmative action but never question how C student Bush got there. Racism, pure and simple.

[malaise]

16. Typical ReTHUGS

:hi:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

17. i don't know about buchanan, but dana milbank seems to be making a comeback.

yuck.

[madamesilverspurs]

18. Of course he's "ill".

It's just that his sort of "illness" is better suited to Fox.
