(Watching Ali G) What does DU think of Pat Buchanan?

[mdmc]

[Pale Blue Dot]

1. Where's racist asshole? nt

[MADem]

10. Yep...those other choices don't begin to describe the man.

He's somewhat to the right of Attilla the Hun.

[Mr_Spock]

16. Exactly - there is no way I can vote in this poll

"Conservative racist bigot ass hole" is not a choice :(

[Ned_Devine]

2. Those are our choices?

[AlCzervik]

3. he's an old school conservative thats not part of the solution.

[iamjoy]

7. Exactly - No Way He's A Neo Con

he's an isolationist.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

15. You are right. Pat is diametrically opposed to neocon foreign policy.

His "American Conservative" mag is almost entirely devoted to bashing neocon ideas.

[rzemanfl]

4. He is an asshat for the most part, he ocassionally has a point

and he had the decency to admit that the butterfly ballot gave him thousands of votes that should have gone to Gore. I give him a D+, but you can't dance to him.

[originalpckelly]

5. If he weren't a total racist and homophobe...

He'd be a really cool person. I still read the American Conservative, I started thinking it would be a nice place to find how they think, but it turned out they (old fashioned conservatives) hate Iraq and just about every other Bush policy (including unconstitutional crap like NSA wiretapping.)

I really like that^^^^

[mdmc]

12. me too

I dig him.

[cobaindrain]

6. He's a paleo con

not as dangerous as a neo con, not as crazy either. Just somewhat curmudgeonly and openly racist

[babylonsister]

8. Held my nose and voted #1, but I don't know about part of the

solution. I doubt it and he is a racist.

[spag68]

9. Where is the row

for fat blowhard, with bad ideas?

[rzemanfl]

13. People here are complaining about calling fat people fat. You

may get away with it, but when I called Candy Crowley a fat slut, I heard plenty about it. Different rules for men I think.

[carpetbagger]

11. Uh, the paleocons are the solution?

In 1950, they almost brought us World War III. In 1953, they almost destroyed the Republic. If they had their way, we'd still have segregated schools (de facto if not de jure), but there'd always be a way out by enlisting and going to Vietnam (or would they have only held out until 1985 or so).

[leesa]

14. Since when are conservatives part of any solution?!?

[mdmc]

17. in a democracy, all opines are valid

even those of people that want to end the drug war, or to end the death penalty, or to oppose the start of the Iraq war (just cause the dem party don't support this stuff doesn't mean that it is not part of the solution). Greens are part of the solution, Independents are part of the solution. We can all learn from each other. :kick:

[Cleita]

18. This is what I think of him.

:dunce: :crazy: :puke::thumbsdown:

[Berserker]

19. The third

part of the poll should have said.....Who wants to water-board the bastard.
