WHY are we subjected to Pat Buchanan's nonsense on MSNBC???

[ailsagirl]

If he's there to play Devil's Advocate, he's doing a crappy job. He doesn't even seem to be with it half the time. Come hell or high water, he defends the repugs and it bugs the hell out of me.

Thanks for letting me do a mild rant

:)

1. Here's what I like about Pat Buchannon ESPECIALLY on Rachel's show

He's so far out of whack that he only makes us and Rachel look that much better!

5. Agreed

When she refers to him as "Uncle Pat," it's as if she's humoring the crazy old uncle who comes over for Sunday dinner and spends the whole time blathering about how they never really landed a man on the moon, that fluoride in drinking water is a Communist conspiracy, and how the coloreds need to be kept down.

She does a nice job of putting him in his place and letting him do his act, which shows him up for the lunatic he is.

Soon, he'll be an afterthought.

11. Good points

2. Because you have CHOSEN to watch TV, and CHOSEN to have it tuned to MSNBC

Turn the fucking thing off if it offends you.

:dunce:

3. Bingo! n/t

9. That would be like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

No need to be rude. :hi:

21. Sometimes babies need to be thrown out

Seriously, I think a lot of people on this forum are addicted to television.

4. Remove the word "mute" on your remote and replace it with "Buchanan"

6. I love the mute button on my remote. While still watching a tv show it is the ultimate power.

Sometimes I wish I had a mute button to use on actual flesh and blood people.

19. My father-in-law turned off his airing aid.

[ailsagirl]

12. I do that... figuratively speaking

[niceypoo]

7. Buchanan has been coming apart at the seams lately...

...he smells the inevitable coming

[ailsagirl]

14. We can only hope...

Thank you for responding in a congenial manner. A few others could certainly learn some manners.

:kick:

[cliffordu]

16. And it couldn't happen to a nicer racist.

He is such an ass.....

[goforit]

8. Yep, NBC has got to let him go. You might as well have a caveman.

[ailsagirl]

10. He certainly doesn't add anything to the program!! LOL!!

[emulatorloo]

13. Buchanan's job is to represent the right. He's making the right look REALLY BAD

So I say GO PAT!!!!!!!

[TreasonousBastard]

15. Speak for yourself-- some of us don't watch him. n/t

[southpaw]

17. Think: Alan Colmes

Buchanan serves essentially the same role on MSNBC shows like Maddow and Hardball.

The only difference seems to be that Colmes knows that his job is to set up the liberal perspective so that Hannity and his conservative guests can knock it down.

Buchanan, on the other hand, seems to think his opinion is something more that a conservative point of view for Tweety and Rachel to play off of. He thinks they take him serioulsly.

18. He's hard to take seriously!! It's just that he puts me to sleep...

Slow and ponderous, forever spouting the repug talking points... it must be as boring for him as it is us

[redwitch]

20. He doesn't bug me half as much as his sister.

Bay Buchanan is like a caricature of a person.
