Shorter PB: Appeasement was wrong, but Britain should just have let Hitler invade Poland without going to war with him.

So here is a RW actually saying what we should have done is just sided with Hitler, and the Jewish people wouldn't have been killed. Hmm.

And where is the right wing, which usually goes ballistic over "appeasement".

1. He gets crazier and crazier every time he comes to my attention

He's kind of like a Usenet troll: he has to be more extreme each time he writes so as to get his fix of attention.

2. i didnt watch it again, but, didnt he

blame churchill for what happened to the jews essentially?

3. Yes, his thesis seems to be that the UK shouldn't have offered

to go to war on Poland's behalf. The logical consequence was that PB would have been willing to just let Hitler invade and occupy Poland with no response. If that ain't appeasement, I don't know what the hell is.

4. I've concluded that the basic rule of thumb for RW attacks is

That if you are for cutting rich peoples' taxes, you can pretty much be for anything else. The slightest suggestion that you want to tax the wealthy will get the RW attack dogs on you, and your every word and position will be scrutinized. That's why Barack Obama is an appeaser and Pat Buchanan is not. See how it works?

5. Old pat was born with his head up his rectal passage area. Makes

it hard to observe the truth from that position.

6. C**P

I've never heard such a bucket load of C**P in my life.

7. Oh yes, if only Hitler had just been given Poland with no strings attached

He wouldn't have wanted any more and all those Jews wouldn't have been killed. Chamberlain's policy just wasn't taken far enough. :eyes:

What is this guy still doing on TV?

8. This new book of his............

I just hope it's printed on soft, absorbent, flushable paper!

9. I think he has some great broad points

When it's one country vs. the rest of the world, that one country will lose no matter how powerful you think you are. Good analogy with how Bush has mishandled our foreign affairs.

10. So, Buchanan's pro-Nazi talking points

are being fed to him by .....?????

11. Horseshit from a horse's ass. Can't expect anymore than that.

12. If I saw this piece of dung

from Satans arse (trans. ass) lying in the road I would want to drive over him rather than assist.

I want to add more but am too angry.

13. Buchanan must have taken up crack...

he's an idiot.

A complete misconception of history...the man should just hide in a basement and be subservient to the voices in his head...all 4000 of them.

14. Hitler thought the British were also a Germanic people, so

he did not hate them on racial grounds. That is what Buchanan, in his simple-minded way, is referring to. However, sooner or later, Hitler would have wanted Britain's empire. That was Hitler's nature. -- Lebensraum was his goal.

Besides, even though the USSR and Hitler supposedly made a pact, they would have fought and all of Europe would have been drawn into that war and at a time when the allies would have been weakened. Buchanan does not know what he is talking about.

In addition, Hitler needed military victory to keep his own people in line. He needed to imprison the Jews in order to give their property to the Germans and give the false appearance of prosperity. And once he had imprisoned them, he had to either feed them and provide for them or kill them. Buchanan has not thought Hitler's predicament through. The death camps were an inevitability as soon as Hitler arrested the Jews en masse for nothing. Why he is on TV, why anyone ever listens to him is utterly beyond me. He has no clue.
