Ann, at #2 asks “…why is this man still employed with MSNBC?”

My guess, for what that is worth, is that he is employed because he so perfectly fits the Left’s image of conservatives in general. By putting Buchanan forward as a conservative spokesman they reinforce the image of conservatives as bigoted blowhards who think Hitler was much maligned and believe that everything wrong with America is the result of a Jewish plot. Or in other words, hateful morons.

A very good point, Gary, and one I missed. I guess Buchanan thinks some immigration is all right as long as it’s sadistic Nazis.

Buchanan’s defense of John Demjanjuk is even more hypocritical than Alex suggests. Because while it was never proven one way or the other whether or not Demjanjuk was “Ivan the Terrible”, there is no question that he lied to get into the country about being a concentration camp guard and therefore acquired citizenship under false pretenses.

Pat claims to be in favor of secure borders. But I guess his “nuanced” position on illegal immigration is zero tolerance and summary deportation – unless he thinks that somewhere, some way, somehow you murdered innocent Jewish men, women and children. Then he wants to roll out the welcome wagon with a brass band.

Ann, lets hope that one day this POS makes a racist “open mic” public comment about black people, then watch the media turn on him with a vengeance.
I await that day.

Great. Tim Russert (of blessèd memory) is dead, and meanwhile, Pat Buchanan continues to walk the planet.

How long, O Lord, how long?

What I want to know is, why is this man still employed with MSNBC? When Imus made just one dergatory remark about black girls on a basketball team, he was fired even after he apolgized. Buchanan can and does continue to spout his hatred of Israel and the Jewish people, and yet nothing is ever done to him. Granted MSNBC is a liberal newsstation, and it’s no secret liberals are no great friends of Jews, but geez you would think after a while even they would be embarrassed to have someone so blantly racist like him on their station.

Lindbergh was OK with Jews as long as there weren’t too many. Jews were about one percent of the German population in 1938, which brings up the question, how many did Lucky Lindy think were “too many?” Presumably, enough to form a minyan would have been excessive in his eyes.

By the way, I am not foolish enough actually to go reply to that other idiot, but not only is interracial marriage in Israel perfectly legal, it’s unexceptionable. Even if you don’t count Sephardi-Ashkenazi as “interracial,” marriage of Ethiopians to other Israelis is not at all unheard of.

Of course, Buchanan is the one who a few years back defended the man accused of being “Ivan the Terrible” by saying he wasn’t that sadistic, murderous Nazi concentration camp guard, he was an altogether different sadistic, murderous Nazi concentration camp guard.
