He's back....on Andrea Mitchell's show spouting hate....

[SeaLyons]

Pat Buchanan on Sotomayor...Unbelievable. I wish MSNBC would get rid of this stupid bigot.

:banghead:

[BlooInBloo]

1. Yep - picked right up where he left off.

[Phx_Dem]

2. I'm done with MSNBC. It's one thing to have a controversial opinion,

and quite another to be fucking bigot.

I'm boycotting MSNBC with one "occasional" exception -- Ed's show -- I'm usually at work when it's on so I can't watch it every day anyway. I'll miss Keith and Rachel, sort of, but I don't care. I refuse to continue to watch a network that sees fit to put a bigot front and center on a regular basis.

Why the fuck did they fire Imus anyway? He wasn't any worse than Pat. In fact, Pat is worse by a long shot because he continually makes racist remarks and then defends them by yelling at anyone who dares question him.

Go fuck yourself MSNBC.

[RepublicanElephant]

3. You can still watch keith and rachel online at msnbc.com nt

.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

6. Rachel and Keith are available as iTunes podcasts. I'm still waiting on Ed

to produce one. As soon as I get one from him, I won't be watching MSNBC again.

Can't stand Tweety! :puke::puke:

[madwivoter]

32. I'm done with MSNBC until he's gone

I sent them an email letting them know that I'm not switching back until I hear that 'Uncle' Pat is gone (I really can't believe that RM loves him so much... :shrug: )

[burning rain]

34. Buchanan is worse, but he avoids such vulgar epithets as "nappy-headed ho's."

Buchanan couches his racism in more literate language. The distinction is a stupid one but only the most simplistic rationales seem to work on the mass level.

[masuki bance]

4. Standard request for more information. Thx. nt

[SeaLyons]

5. Buchanan was on Rachel's show last night and

went off on a racist rant against Sotomayor, and is right back on the air today doing again.

[vaberella]

17. That wasn't just about Sotomayor...

That was about minorities in general through the outlet of Sotomayor. I've seen when he's just been about her. This was about all minorities.

[BlooInBloo]

22. Yep.

[SeaLyons]

23. you're right.....

his bigotry was exposed, and went far beyond Sotomayor.

[vaberella]

19. Link below..then you'll get a clue, that is if you haven't seen it already:

[Raffi Ella]

7. I just read this article from media matters about him.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6085947

I knew he was a right wing hate monger but I had no idea that it was to that extent; WTF is MSNBC thinking? Don't tell me Chris Mathews didn't already know all of this and more about Buchanan.

[SeaLyons]

14. thanks for posting the link, Raffi..

interesting stuff! Not surprising. He's just another good 'ole boy, too stupid to even know how ridiculous he is. I agree with you about Chris Matthews.

[Raffi Ella]

30. "...just another good 'ole boy..."

right, but those Good Ol' Boys are still Kings in the South and Rush listeners can be found all across America even if the GOP can't win their States.

Those 'boys' are now just pissing in the wind though and they know it. That's why this kind of talk is frightening because they're like a cornered animal. Dr. Tiller was already a victim of their rage, who's next? Sotomayor? the President?



Chris Matthews should be ashamed of himself!

[nolabear]

8. He needs to be there

where everyone can see him, and where Rachel and Keith and the non-msnbc shows can call him out. It's so interesting to see him lose his wry patrician attitude and expose the underbelly. It's happening all over the place, and it needs to happen, especially on places like MSNBC where younger people can be horrified and marginalize him. And, of course, the more marginal, the madder he and the rest of them are going to get.

[CakeGrrl]

10. I agree; it puts lie to the notion that we are a post-racial society just because

Obama managed to get elected.

Shine a light on him and the asshats who patronized Judge Sotomayor. Don't put them out of sight and let others argue "WHAT race problems?"

[Raffi Ella]

15. I really think the Buchanans of America ARE losing it.

They've lost the America they once knew and LOVED( the 50's era/ whites rule). Things ARE changing and they are not dealing with it well. To see Buchanan on TV saying the things he does is just outrageous!

It fuels the hatred and anger. Media has a responsibility NOT to incite violence and I am afraid Buchanans words on air are goign to do just that, incite violence.

We've already seen the assasination of Dr. Tiller because of the vicious unrelenting attacks from Orielly and co. and because a liberal Democrat was elected President, a BLACK liberal Democrat.

I think a serious discussion needs to be had on why Buchanan is WRONG and until that happens I consider the media that has Buchanan and the like on air complicit in perpetuating racism and violence.

[SeaLyons]

20. I agree....

it truly needs to stop.

[Lilyeye]

37. I agree. People like him need to be exposed so we can get past this "post racial America" lie.

Until people stop sweeping racism under the rug and pretending like its not a big deal anymore, its going to continue. Although some people like to call it "keeping racism alive."

[Cha]

9. Has everyone who finds pat buchannan offensive..

registered their complaint at msnbc?

MSNBC
- Phone: [phone] EMAIL: [e-mail]

[vaberella]

13. Been there and done that. All I have to do now is boycott MSNBC. n/t

[Cha]

25. And, I know you'll

miss the shows you do like but I guess you can get them online?

How about the products that sell pat buchannan's racist bigoted shit?

[Sebass1271]

16. i wrote to them two days ago. I can't stand this guy

and is unbelieable MSNBC has him in every single show of the day!.

[Cha]

24. Yeah, like they're proud

of him or something.

[BonnieJW]

11. Why isn't there a campaign to get rid of him?

Imus got shut down after the women's basketball team incident. Pat has been saying really awful things.

[NatBurner]

31. here's one:

[vaberella]

12. I'm boycotting. Last night truly fucked me up. n/t

[Sebass1271]

18. call MSNBC and let the know!!

don't bycott without telling them the reason!

[vaberella]

21. Ugh...I'll do it. I can't even bring myself to do go near anything that relates to that station. nt

[LiberalAndProud]

26. I was just distracted

with an article on how the Neanderthal became extinct. What were we talking about?

Oh yea, Pat Buchanan. I remember now.

[SeaLyons]

27. good analogy.....

:thumbsup:

[City Lights]

28. I change channels when Pat Bukkanan comes on.

Same spew, different day with Pat. I see no point in continuing to listen to him, so I change channels.

[DrToast]

29. So don't watch MSNBC

Problem solved.

[vaberella]

33. Yup. n/t

[AspenRose]

35. I hope other liberal talking heads and analysts avoid MSNBC until they get rid of him as well.

[Raine]

36. I wonder if he has dementia

there has to be some physical reason for such insanity, at least I hope there is.

edit: changed one word

[GoldenOldie]

38. Pat doesn't have dementia

He has never been questioned on his analysis or opinions. He has only gained his fame as a speech writer for Nixon and ran for president of US, he has been touted as fully knowledgeable on the political front and DC. He along with his sister Babe have acquired their wealth, status because the right-wing have touted them as all knowing and seeing. They haven't a clue as to what real America is and are simply profiteers. Rachel has the audacity to call him out and he can't handle it. This isn't dementia, it's simply showing what a complete ignorant fool Pat is. Pat isn't even capable of hiding his bigoted, racial self. That is real stupidity.....aging, only magnifies ones basic personalities. Pat is finally showing his true self and it isn't pretty.
