(he fell out of a guard tower)

His hero worship of Hitler, his ability to refuse to acknowledge the actual facts in favor of lies that back up his story—and how can you call them anything but a lie once you acknowledge that his theories are EASILY disproven by simply stating facts—these are why I call him a liar. Plus there’s his known distaste for “neocons,” and his magazine’s ability to point out the Jewishness in the conservative movement that is apparently destroying it.

Pat Buchanan knows only one Jew that he finds utterly useful to him, and I think his former CNN partner is wilfully blind about Buchanan’s little problem.

I stand by my epithet. The man twists facts to enforce his “crazy” theories—all evidence to the contrary. That’s prevarication.

Perhaps its a way for the liberal media to bring out the raving lunatic Buchanan and declare him typical of conservative thought, and thereby discredit all main stream conservatives as guilty by association.

Either way, I am sick and tired of seeing this POS contaminating the airwaves with his #$%^% “logic,” and few if any, immediate rebuttals.

Buchanan’s quote does begin with “Though Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide…,” that comes first — meaning the long list of Hitler’s strengths tends to linger in the mind of the reader. If Buchanan was more interested in reminding people of Hitler’s sheer evil, he would have listed the strengths, THEN mentioned the things that qualified him as a sociopath and about seven types of monster.

That’s the “Old” Buchanan — he limited himself to that was strictly and factually correct, but used omission, rhetorical gambits, implications, and selective truths to convey the unspoken message of hate and bigotry.

The “New” Buchanan, though, is a hell of a lot worse at hiding his true feelings. I find it kind of refreshing to see him expose himself as the asshole he always has been.

As for calling him a Hitler admirer, well, he’s written glowing reviews of Hitler in the past.

“Hitler was also an individual of great courage, a soldier’s soldier in the Great War, a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him…Hitler’s success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path.”

When are you going to learn, Lefty, that I never write anything I can’t source?

(A comparison might be drawn to Michelle Malkin’s loathsome defense of internment during WWII. Malkin didn’t lie, but she was so obsessed with proving her thesis that she ignored all contrary evidence.)

How about we put Pat, Lew, and the rest of the gang (people like Ron and Taki, the guy paying the bills for Pat’s mag American Conservative) somewhere and seal up the cave?
