1. That wasn't his first unchallenged lie, but it may be his biggest.

I wonder if the idiots hosting the show (whatever that show might be) actually believe him.

With an average of $46,390, it's highly likely that there is not a single teacher (without administrative assignments) making $100,000 annually.

[madokie]

2. Justs go to show that no one and I mean no one

pays any attention to what ol pat Pukecannon has to say anymore

[malaise]

3. Let's fill up M$NBComcast's mail bags with

those figures.

Buchanan lies on M$NBComcast every day of the week.

[sasha031]

4. they just pull these lies out of thin air

[spanone]

6. i think it's more calculated...if you throw out a figure like $100,000 people are shocked

and the attitude is 'fuck those rich teachers....they want more?'

[City Lights]

12. RW lies are usually coordinated...my money is on Frank Luntz.

He's the master of deceit.

[spanone]

14. yep, another op says they heard this same thing said on faux....coordinated

[Mojorabbit]

31. drudge report put it up yesterday

saying this and linked to a website of a right wing think tank. my sis emailed the article to me and I looked into the groups particulars.

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. Do a search on how much money that Fascist loving Nazi makes

you can't find it.

[chill_wind]

42. +1 No joke!

[formercia]

7. .....and it worked too.

Now, both the 'Baggers and Liberals are worked-up. He does this to yank your chain. Don't give him a second of your thoughts.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. We know how much Keith's Contract was worth to MSNBC

Guess what..... you can find uncle Pat's anywhere.

[underpants]

8. The part every talking head is jumping over is HOW they got their pay and benefits

good or bad no matter what you think of them HOW did they get where they are?

collective bargaining

[spanone]

10. lies are now just a routine part of our 'news' system

i cannot accept that.

[Octafish]

18. Thank you.

I saw the writing on the monitor when I last worked at a newspaper in the early 90s. The News Editor job opened up and a ton of in-house people applied. Later I wondered why the youngest of the lot got the gig.

A few weeks later, as story after story slugged "TET" appeared on her AP news feed she exclaimed: "Tet! Tet! What is this Tet?!" I explained to her that they referred to the Tet Offensive, a seminal event in the U.S.-Vietnam War.

She had never heard of it. So, in the mind of the PTB at the paper, she was perfect. Unfortunate for democracy, great for the idiot NAZI Pat Buchanan.

[JuniperLea]

20. time to start a cyber revolution...

Inundate news agencies with facts to their lies en mass. We should be very good at that. We do it only for the most horrid lies... We need to organize and do it for all lies.

[gristy]

15. I knew this was coming. Remember the fake $70 an hour auto workers?

NYT and a bunch of others were pushing that one.

Don

[spanone]

16. it's exactly the same....the lie gets out there and prevails

'a lie goes around the world while the truth is still putting it's boots on'

[demmiblue]

17. Yep... I was just about to post that.

SSDD

[louis-t]

19. That fits right in with the other big lies...

"$10 an hour goes to the union"
"Union workers make $75 an hour when you figure in their benefits."
"Workers make more money in 'right-to-work' states".

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

21. My story about Pat Buchanan

When Buchanan was a Nixon aide in 1971 and '72 Pat came out to the Bethesda Naval Hospital
and saw the doctor in the clinic where i worked. I remeeber seeing him twice visiting
the doctor and later, the doctor who replaced the first.

He didn't receive any treatment that i know of but he did receive free consultations fer which I believe he wasn't entitled.

[dkofos]

22. Sure, and the budget deficit in Wis. is $3.5 billion.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

23. Did he also mention how they don't pay anything for their benefits? That's my favorite.

[tosh]

24. Kick.

I sent my email, FWIW.

[eleny]

25. Alex W. acknowledged receiving complaints

Buchanan "corrected" his statement by saying his $100k number was salary + benefits. But he said the salary part was $60,000. So it sounds like he's still wrong.

[malaise]

35. BS - they just throw around figures and hope

they stick. Same crap with Orange man and the number of public sector workers hired by Obama.

[eleny]

39. Yeah, he still had to try to get to his 100k figure

He said the teachers pay was $60k and benefits are $40k. That doesn't square with what was posted here at DU with a link to the verification. Average pay is more like $44k.

Buchanan probably used a high end pay for his $60k. So he's still lying.

:hi:

[defendandprotect]

26. Keep in mind, Buchanan has gotten CIA money over his career to keep

him propped up --

Everything the right wing does and has is FAKED!!

CIA also funded right wing members of Congress --

two I'm aware of are Sen. Strom Thurmond and

Rep. Gerald Ford --

GOP gave start up funding for the Christian Coalition --

GOP used NRA to target liberals and moderates in both parties --

GOP used "pro-life" murderers to pave the way for attacks on abortion --

evidently "pro-life" organizations were hiring people at methadone clinics to act

as protesters for them.

[Badfish]

27. "Buchanan has gotten CIA money over his career"

I don't believe that for a second.

Not one second.

[defendandprotect]

28. Check with Jim Marrs -- are you a Buchanan fan?

Meanwhile the CIA was founded with NAZIS post-WWII coming in under

Operation Paper Clip set up by Allen Dulles -- you remember him, I'm sure!

CIA also raised money from many right wing sources, including the KKK and Nazis.

Some of this info began to come out with the death of Wm. Buckley -- also CIA.

Also GE -- more right wing than the Nazi Party -- which kept Buchanan on TV -

"Crossfire" -- to spread his sexist, racist and homophobic propaganda --

[eleny]

32. Buchanan was close with Thomas Braden

Braden started CNN's Crossfire program which starred Pat Buchanan. Their association is undeniable.

Braden was involved in the CIA's Operation Mockingbird which involves the media.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

From the article:
"Thomas Braden, head of the International Organizations Division (IOD), played an important role in Operation Mockingbird. Many years later he revealed his role in these events:

"If the director of CIA wanted to extend a present, say, to someone in Europe—a Labour leader—suppose he just thought, This man can use fifty thousand dollars, he's working well and doing a good job - he could hand it to him and never have to account to anybody... There was simply no limit to the money it could spend and no limit to the people it could hire and no limit to the activities it could decide were necessary to conduct the war—the secret war.... It was a multinational. Maybe it was one of the first. Journalists were a target, labor unions a particular target—that was one of the activities in which the communists spent the most money."<12> "

More about Braden --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Braden

It's not out of the question to believe that Buchanan was associated with Operation Mockingbird.

[Warren Stupidity]

38. How about: notorious flirter with holocaust denial?

Pat is quite the number.

[madfloridian]

29. What show do I email about it? It's a flat lie.

[malaise]

30. She challenged him just before her program finished

bu the lied again and said that was correct because of benefits.
M$NBComcast will never have credibility as he is their 'go to' hack 24/7.
He's a racist ReTHUG spin king.

34. That's because the talking heads think 100 grand is chicken

feed. They easily believe that teachers make that, since they have no real world experience or street smarts. They are pampered, overpaid script readers.

[old mark]

36. Lying is how Buchannan makes his living, and he has been doing it for decades now.....nt

[malaise]

37. Ding ding

We have a winner :hi:

[Bigmack]

40. But you have to include the benefits...

like all the paper clips and #2 pencils you can scavenge as a teacher.

And then there is the cheap school lunches.

Oh... and ALL the bullshit you can take from Admin and parents.

[Rex]

41. Just more proof that the M$M cares little about the truth and

should be stripped from the title 'news' and forced to rename themselves 'entertainment' only. It should be a law! If cannot report the news accurately, then you lose your journalistic license! Which means you cannot 'report the news' anymore.

[Enthusiast]

43. That is what THEY do. Lie.

Buchanan is a long time fascist.

[rasputin1952]

44. buchanan always lies...he just pulls things out of his empty skull...

I would be amazed if he tells the truth...:D

[Atman]

45. That subject line should be pinned.

After all, Pat is on the tv machine alot so it would save duplicate posts.
