Do you think Pat Buchanan Likes Sitting between Two Black People?

[aaaaaa5a]

Sometimes I wonder if the producers do that to him on purpose!


I must admit for a conservative, his opinion is necessary to round off MSNBC's coverage. I think he is much better and more fair (with a conservative viewpoint) than Joe Scarborough. When it comes to Scarborough, I actually think Morning Joe is better without him.

I hope his family is safe and healthy. But I was disappointed to see him back on his show.

1. I think Buchanan is a racist slob, so he probably doesn't like his

placement. I wish they'd put him out to pasture.

[knixphan]

39. seconded.

[VolcanoJen]

2. I think Barack ought to grow out a big-ass Afro

Just to induce Pat Buchanan and Geraldine Ferraro into seizures. ;-)

And then, he should name Snoop "Secretary of Agricizzle!"

[PCIntern]

8. DUzy material!!!

:rofl:

[VolcanoJen]

10. Heh!!!!

;-)

[skooooo]

Wait til he's elected first!

:-)

[VolcanoJen]

16. Even better!

:rofl:

And Kanye should head up FEMA dammit!!!

[PCIntern]

31. Danny Glover for Ambassador to South Africa

thus completing the Lethal Weapon Series...

[skooooo]

40. Keep Danny Glover on Broadway!

(I got to see him in a play once.)

[eleny]

14. Fist bumps all over the inauguration crowd

[VolcanoJen]

24. Did you see how on Fox News....

... they were calling it a "terrorist fist jab"?

:wtf:

[NewJeffCT]

25. I hope you're joking

terrorist fist jab?

that is such a reach that it has to be a joke, no?

:crazy: :wtf: :argh:

[VolcanoJen]

29. Linky from Media Matters

Fox News teased discussion of Obama dap: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab?"

It doesn't even make any fuckin' sense.

[eleny]

28. Desperation on their part

They can't work with the issues so they go for the red baiting and terrorist baiting. Meh.

[la la]

26. excellent suggestion!

heh heh heh

[FrenchieCat]

3. You say "his opinion is necessary to round off MSNBC's coverage"

Why is that?

Why do we need a bigot's opinion to round things off. Round them off to where, exactly?

[PCIntern]

13. I agree, Frenchie...

I was gonna say...

just what we need, a RWer on TV!

There's been a real shortage of late...

:sarcasm:

P.S. Years ago, many years ago, one of the mags, I think it might have been SPY, had a list of RW pundits vs. LW...there was list of about 30 Rethugs and on the other side...Michael Kinsley, alone.

[4_Legs_Good]

4. I'm sure they have to clean and disinfect his seat after every show.

I can't stand him, and I so wish he'd get fired. I don't mind a conservative, but I can't stand him.

[Youphemism]

5. I bet he likes it more than the two black people who have to sit next to him. /nt

[aaaaaa5a]

9. Good Point!!

[crankychatter]

6. I like the way Rachel Maddow treats him

like some exotic bug or endangered species

she's a wonderment

[Oak2004]

33. Well if you were a progressive Ph.D. Rhodes Scholar and a lesbian, how would you treat ol' Pat?

He's ignorant, he's biased, he's mostly pathetic.And she's supposed to pretend he's a fellow expert?

I'm sure she's torn between laughing at him and slapping him upside the head. In fact I've caught her laughing at him. I imagine assault laws being what they are, she'll carefully avoid slapping him upside the head, but the thought must cross her mind.

[tularetom]

7. Buchanan has been extra screechy lately

I think he is beginning to panic that the US may wind up electing a black president.

[terrya]

11. About as much as him liking sitting between two gay men

[cliffordu]

12. I send MSNBC an email a while back asking if Pukeanon was the

best they could do.

They never did get back to me....

[City Lights]

15. I think MSNBC sucks for continuing to give Buchanan airtime.

But while he's spewing his racist bile, I hope he's as uncomfortable as possible.

I've never seen him as uncomfortable as he was the day he appeared with Joe Madison around the time Obama delivered his speech on race.

[PCIntern]

17. That's going to be known as "The Buchanan Sammawich"

...with apologies to the author of "The Taking of Pelham 123"

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Think about stuff like that a lot?

[aaaaaa5a]

20. When it comes to Pat Buchanan...

his thoughts on race are always the first thing to come to mind. Even when the topic he is discussing is non-related.


I can remember a Republican Presidential debate when even Alan Keys said...

" I am a conservative very much like Pat... the difference is my conservatism is for everyone, and Pat's is only for people who look just like him!"

[hokies4ever]

21. Oh dear, here comes the reverse racism charge

:rofl:

[hokies4ever]

19. I think that Buchanan does a good job of laughing off the jabs they get on him

Rachel and Lawrence O'Donnell (is that his name?) periodically get some nice hits on him, but he always laughs them off.

[PylesMalfunction]

22. The only thing that could make it better...

was if the two black people were also gay. And one of them looked at Pat and licked his lips. :rofl: I think he'd die.

[la la]

27. that's even funnier--

but I do think Pat enjoys jousting and spouting---actually, I think he realizes he's just entertainment and he's going along with the flow!:evilgrin:

[PylesMalfunction]

30. I agree....

And that's part of the problem. I think there are too many people who see this as a big game to be won. It's part of the reason I'm fascinated by politics. But at the end of the day, real people get hurt and swept aside by this game. People die over these games. :(

[deadmessengers]

23. Buchanan doesn't mind at all.

That's the thing here: racist types like Pat Buchanan don't mind sitting next to black folks, shaking hands with black folks, even talking to black folks, as long as it's IN PUBLIC. It's what they say when the cameras aren't rolling and when they know they're around likeminded people that is the real test of their character.

[housewolf]

32. He!! And I wonder how he likes Rachel Maddow being the "leader" of the panel

She's so terrific but he's been there for years... I wonder how he likes the preferential treatment she receives?

Probably just makes him all the more bitter...

[aaaaaa5a]

34. I want to see Rachel have her own show...

but sometimes when you are a moderator, you don't get a chance to have your own "take" on the situation.


Having said this, I still think MSNBC has a place for one more show in their weekday lineup. And that show belongs to Rachel Maddow.

[Meshuga]

35. What would piss him off to no end

Is to turn the program into a Spanish speaking program and make them wear sombreros.

[aaaaaa5a]

36. That would be funny!

People like Lou Dibs and Pat Buchanan are dying breeds! Their political philosophy of hate is what we are fighting against.

You and I both know that if "Swedes" were coming over the border, we wouldn't have the book called "Death of the West" (Buchanan) or an entire one-hour show (Dibs) dedicated to the topic every night.

[wvbygod]

37. I know Buchanan is on the right (saw the commercial)

I have not followed his actions but what or where is an explanation of his racist and bigotry
actions? Has something he did been recorded anywhere that displays his errors?

[NotThisTime]

38. I never even noticed that! Well, now that you mention it, it's a really good question!

I really have no idea in all seriousness... I mean he has a persona, but is that who he really is, if it is, then he's REALLY uncomfortable... but on the other hand the persona may be just for TV...

[Danger Mouse]

41. Ole Pat was probably looking for a cross to burn.

[AllentownJake]

42. The best was after the Edwards endorsement

Pat had a full out nervous break down on set. It was the greatest.

I'm hoping to see the same thing again on Election night in November.

That racist piece of shit that mentored him Nixon will be spinning in his grave so fast we could use him as a power source.
