Pat Buchannan's racism never ceases to amaze me.
MSNBC needs to drop him as a commentator.

1. I think he'll be fired soon. I'm waiting for him to say the N word or the S word for Sotomayor.
Then it's done. I feel it coming out eventually.

2. And yet they keep him on TV.
That's what amazes (and disappoints) me....

It used to be easy to shame racists. Since Reagan, however, they've been emboldened.

3. He's on TV because he's "entitled" to be there
just as George Will is "entitled" -even though he lies with impunity in his columns, and hasn't had an original thought in 20 years.

7. No. MSNBC has no money and he'll come on for an hour for half off on a Big Mac coupon. nt

9. It's the olde fashioned white male affirmative action that
has run this country from the beginning.

Get into Yale because daddy went there, your a legacy.
Get on the board of directors because of family connections, your networking.

They call it different names but essentially it is the privileged class keeping the usurpers to power down, namely you and me!

That is why when we fight back through justified means like affirmative action they hate it so, We are over stepping our place. Becoming "uppity". if you will!

5. I don't think MSNBC should drop him-
Edited on Wed May-27-09 02:16 PM by jenmito
it is so GREAT to see his ignorant butt being beaten up by Lawrence O'Donnell and others. He shows us all what a foolish racist he is.

8. Same here. He must be a visitor from the 1800s.
Put him on display in a museum.

10. Even if I agreed with him I couldn't listen to him
His high pitched screechy squeally voice is like nails on a chalk board to me.

11. It's always funny when occassionally he is on the right side of an issue and DU goes nuts for it
"OMG! Has Pat Buchannan seen the light!"

"No."

13. Yesterday I just shut off Matthews all together because Pat had like 15 minutes to rant
Unfortunately it's enough to keep me from tuning in at all to his show, too bad really. I doubt that I am the only one either.

16. After he defended LePen in 2002 (first time I encountered him), nothing from him can amaze me
Edited on Wed May-27-09 04:13 PM by LeftishBrit
What does amaze me is when progressives occasionally cite him approvingly. Yes, it's good that he's against the war (so is LePen). No, that doesn't make him any sort of moral authority; or even preferable to the neocons - they're all the same, except in detail.
