   Pat Buchanan is an anti-Semitic, xenophobic asshole who comes so close to being a neo-Nazi (or, perhaps, a Nazi Classic) that there is almost no way to draw a line. He’s never been worth a damned thing.

   He so desperately needs to go away.

   Missed his century. It’s back that way, Pat.

   He so desperately needs to go away.
   And yet his brand of conservatism is probably more popular than ever.

   All he needs to do now is start insulting individuals by name, and savaging people that say anything in any way negivitave about him and HE can be the leader of the conservative/con “movement”.

   He’s got the racist, razor-blade-yak-shit crazy thing down pat already.

   Indeed. Your (and I mean your) modern Republican party. Charming as ever.

   Buchanan has convenienty forgotten the days when his Irish-American ancestors faced the same kind of bigotry…right here in this country. He’s forgotten how Catholics were mistrusted, hated even, because their practices were different from those of the WASPs.

   But Pat is so in thrall to the Old-Time Nixon-Reagan Religion, his brain is full of holes.

   I think it was William F. Buckley who nailed Buchanan when he observed that Buchanan is very, very hard-line on criminals — UNLESS the criminals are accused Nazi war criminals. He also runs headlong right up to the racist, anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi line and then stops JUST short of crossing the line.

   It’s a brilliant tactic — he has deniability for not QUITE crossing his line, while his supporters can say “yeah, he’s really with us, he just can’t QUITE say what he really thinks without getting put down by the Jews/Commies/Neocons/foreigners/whatever.”

   I got wise to that back in 1992, when I discussed his campaign with a few of his supporters — and it ended with them kindly offering to throw me through a plate glass window in response to some very uncomfortable questions and observations I made.

   I think it was William F. Buckley who said:
   

   “The central question that emerges … is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes — the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. It is not easy, and it is unpleasant, to adduce statistics evidencing the cultural superiority of White over Negro: but it is a fact that obtrudes, one that cannot be hidden by ever-so-busy egalitarians and anthropologists.”

   and
   

   “saying that promiscuous homosexuals with AIDS should be tattooed on the buttocks as a sort of health-warning”

   Interesting quotes, ed. Utterly irrelevant to the topic, but vaguely, remotely interesting.

   And the context of my citing Buckley was when the National Review finally decided to throw Buchanan under the bus — a move long, long overdue when they finally did it. It was a brilliant piece of analysis of Buchanan, crystallizing precisely why I had loathed him for so many years without being able to quite put it into words.

    Utterly irrelevant to the topic,

    I thought the topic was prominent racist Republican assholes.

    You apparently think the topic is “Jay Tea: Mensch Amongst Mensches.”

    And once again, we see Buchanan’s tactics in play. The first paragraph is indisputably correct and utterly unarguable:

    Mexico is the greatest foreign policy crisis I think America faces in the next 20, 30 years. Who is going to care, Andrea, 30 years from now whether a Sunni or a Shia is in Baghdad or who’s ruling in Kabul?

    Whole cities in Mexico are on the verge of collapsing into chaos and anarchy thanks to the drug gangs — cities that are right on the US border. The Mexican government itself is imperiled. Phoenix, AZ is the #2 city in the world for kidnappings, and officials blame Mexican drug gangs. The drug gangs are starting to use military-grade ordnance, on both sides of the border. It IS a major crisis, and it very well could play out over decades. Buchanan is absolutely right on that point.

    And then comes the patented Buchanan swerve into demagoguery and racism and xenophobia:

    We’re going to have 135 million Hispanics in the United States by 2050, heavily concentrated in the southwest. The question is whether we’re going to survive as a country.

    Same ol’ Pat. Same ol’ asshole.

    He was born too late. He’d have made a wonderful leader in the German-American Bund.

    Pat Buchanan a racist and a nativist. These old fools would best serve the country by dying off a bit faster.
