1. I love posters here who say that isn't a racist remark.

[baldguy]

2. 4:56

Fucking sick bastard.

[Ruby the Liberal]

Yup. First of 3 times he said it, too. 2x Obama, 1x Rep Cleaver.

[blue neen]

3. Despicable.

It's the way he says it, too.

I'm e-mailing MSNBC...right now.

[EOTE]

41. Exactly, he seethes hatred.

The way he draws it out with his slight southern drawl, if that's not a dog whistle, I don't know what is. He really doesn't even try to hide it anymore. His racism is out in the open for all to see. Sharptop handled that amazingly well.

[DFab420]

4. Check this. He says: Black guys call each other boy all the time....

6. And all the more power to 'em.

A 72 year old white racist? Not so much. He might as well have dropped the N-bomb on live teevee.

Thanks for that link. Will go peruse the thread now to see what other sick justification has infiltrated this site.

[EffieBlack]

35. Women call each other "bitch," too - that doesn't make it ok for men to do it . . .

5. Please join me in contacting ColorOfChange about this

They got Glenn Beck off the air - hopefully they can do something about this, too.

8. Is Van Jones still involved with them?

:loveya: Van

[LiberalLoner]

10. Well, I don't know to be honest, I just sign every petition that comes my

way in my e-mail. I originally joined because of the petition to get advertisers to boycott Glenn Beck and I stayed because they do a lot of good work. Sometimes I wonder if it's okay for me to be part of the organization because I'm a white woman, but then I think, you know what? Civil rights are HUMAN rights. Same with how I sign petitions to end DADT, etc. Civil rights are HUMAN rights and I am a human so I can join in, that's what I figure.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. This white woman thanks you and am emailing them the link to the vid now.

:hi:

Edit - note sent if anyone wants to copy any of it.

What will it take to get Adolf Buchannan off the airwaves at MSNBC?

Here he is tonight (8/2) in all his glory referring to the President (2x) and Emmanuel Cleaver (1x) as "your boy" when talking to Rev Sharpton.

Let us know what we need to do to end this nazi's tenure on that network.

[LiberalLoner]

17. Thank you so much! People are also writing MSNBC! If enough of us

say this isn't okay, hopefully we can make a positive difference!

[dgibby]

34. This is what I sent them:

Here's the e-mail I just sent to MSNBC
Please let me introduce myself. I am a 65 year old white female, registere Independent, and loyal MSNBC viewer; however, my viewing habits are about to change, thanks to Pat Buchanan. I have had it with his bigoted, racist attitude and remarks. I have also had it with the fact hat he as remained employed at MSNBC despite his deplorable track record.

Tonight he crossed my line in the sand. Having grown up in the South during the '50's and '60's, I KNOW a racist dog whistle when I hear one. It is more than egregious that he would refer to the first black President of the United States as "boy".

How much more disparaging and demeaning does he have to be before he is fired. Would showing up in a white hood and a sheet do it? Is that what it will take before MSNBC wakes up to how offensive he is? How many viewers do you have to lose? How much revenue?

Bottom line: I love ed Schultz, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Rachel Maddow, but I, and many others will walk if Buchanan remains in your employ one more week. Give him his severance pay and bid him farewell or say goood-bye to your viewers. I stayed when you let Keith go, I stayed when you let Cenk go, but if Buchanan is there next wee, spewing his racist drivel, I'll boycott you and your sponsors, and your sponsers will know exactly why.

Please do yourselves and your viewers a a favor, and do the right thing.

Sincerely,

xxxxxxxx

[EffieBlack]

36. Outstanding!

[Ruby the Liberal]

37. Ok, that there is a thing of beauty.

"Would showing up in a white hood and a sheet do it?"

:rofl:

[monmouth]

43. I sent one also along the same lines. n/t

[cabot]

13. i agree

love van. smart, gorgeous. sigh. not to objectify him...but he's almost perfect. :)

[Ruby the Liberal]

20. Its okay - I am shallow.

He is definitely the hotness. His intellect is even sexier than his looks.

:hi:

[cabot]

24. absolutely!

;)

[cabot]

16. definitely! n/t

[LiberalLoner]

18. Thank you so much! :) n/t

[TBMASE]

7. delete

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. Seriously?

A nazi calling the President "your boy" when talking to a black host is acceptable because Rev Sharpton has been the lightening rod on racial issues (real and imagined) in the past is hunky dory with you?

Did I accidentally post on FR when I thought I was on DU?

*clears cache and restarts browser*

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. Good move on the delete. Welcome to DU.

[Kingofalldems]

14. The way he pronounced boy was the clincher

[Raine]

15. I saw it ... DISGUSTING!

:puke: That old racist needs to go. :grr:

[malaise]

19. Send it everywhere

Time to run this racist scumbag off of M$NBComcast

[LiberalLoner]

22. Who else can we contact? I have contacted MSNBC, posted about it

on facebook and written Color Of Change...are there other organizations we could alert, please? I would like to see this protest go truly VIRAL.

I've just had it. It's time for racism and every other ism to END, and end forever.

[Ruby the Liberal]

25. What email alias did you use for MSNBC?

On your question - not sure. HuffPost, WaPost, Keith, Rachel?

Who were the other driving forces against Beckkk?

[LiberalLoner]

26. I'm not sure. I think I will do a google search on organizations that

help fight racism, as a start...?

I didn't use any alias...

[Ruby the Liberal]

27. Okay, I just sent this to the main 'contact us' link:

Will you people PLEASE get this nazi off your airwaves? This isn't "access" or "fairness to all sides", this is straight up hate speech. I am embarrassed for you.

Disgusted White Woman

[LiberalLoner]

29. YES!!! That's wonderful! Thank you! I just wrote another

organization, humanrightsfirst.org, to ask for their help. Not sure if they get involved in this kind of stuff or not but figured it couldn't hurt to just ask.

[Ruby the Liberal]

32. Will check them out now.

:thumbsup:

(And Mark Halperin was kicked off for a month for calling the President a 'dick'. Sigh)

[WCGreen]

21. Yep, what a fuck tard...

Even if he didn't mean it like that, he still should know better by now...

And yet I think he did, indeed, mean it like that...

[brewens]

23. Reminds me of the second Johansson vs Patterson fight. I'm

pretty sure it's the second one you can still see on Classic Boxing on one of the ESPN's. Ingamar Johansson from Sweden and Floyd Patterson USA. Patterson of course was black and the announcer is blatantly racist. He continually calls Patterson "boy".

Even in 1959 when that was common you can't cut him any slack. He is clearly rooting for Johannson against a fighter from his own country for the heavyweight title. Unfortunately, guys like that are still alive along with the kids they raised.

[rucky]

28. The only difference between Buchanan and my great uncle...

I only have to listen to my great uncle on Thanksgiving.

[Poll_Blind]

30. Buchanan has been using that phrase since he turned up on CNN in the 90's.

It's just how he talks. Used to refer to Clinton like that when talking to Carville, etc. What he really means is "your dog in the race".

PB

[OHdem10]

31. Exactly--he did refer to Clinton as "your boy".

[Ruby the Liberal]

33. Then teach the nazi to say what he 'means' or kick him off of my teevee

[Poll_Blind]

42. LOL

I hear ya!

PB

[KurtNYC]

40. how long has been saying the "coonskin" thing?

Time for NBC to sunset him. Jimmy the Greek was fired for less.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

38. Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon use this phrase all the time.....

....on PTI. A black guy and a white guy often referring to black guys and white guys. It's usually meant to imply "This is one of your favorites, not mine".

Just sayin'. I doubt Buchanan watches that show.

[one_voice]

39. I saw it when it happened...

he's a racist piece of shit..and then there's this

As reported by KO

What 'Big Deals' Did to America

“Mocked by The Wall Street Journal and Sen. John McCain as the little people of the "Lord of the Rings" books, the Tea Party "Hobbits" are indeed returning to Middle Earth — to nail the coonskin to the wall.

As even the Journal concedes, the final deal to raise the debt ceiling, worked out by Sen. Mitch McConnell and Barack Obama, backed by Speaker John Boehner, is "The Triumph of the Tea Party."

The Hobbits demanded that the GOP do battle over the debt ceiling, that it not raise the ceiling without equal spending cuts, that the party accept no taxes.

They got it all. The deal cuts spending by $900 billion and raises the debt ceiling an equal amount. It mandates further cuts of $1.5 trillion, to be agreed on by Thanksgiving by a congressional commission of 12, and for those cuts to be voted up or down.”…cont…
