Pat Buchanan says "your boy" all the time. He probably should of thought before saying it

[Tony_FLADEM]

in reference to Obama, but I don't think he meant anything by it. Just saying.

[terrya]

1. No, actually he's a racist douchebag.

He has a history of these kinds of comments.

[valerief]

7. +1 gazillion

11. Please join me in contacting color of change about this

They got Glenn Beck off the air. They can get something done about this too, I'm betting.

[LiberalLoner]

2. There is NO WAY any person in this day and age can NOT know the racist

implications of that word in regards to an African American. And he did it deliberately a second time even after being corrected.

It was a deliberate dog whistle, a deliberate way of trying to delegitimize our President and even though I grumble about our President's approach to negotiating, I will NOT stand by and say it is okay for Pat B. to refer to him this way!

[Tony_FLADEM]

5. I haven't seen the clip. I just know he has said that multiple times even in reference to

white people. I don't like him.

[DFab420]

3. Yea no, he knew exactly what he was doing, you don't come from his era and call a black man Boy

by mistake.

He coulda said Your Man

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. Isn't he the guy who is always diddling the invisible soccer ball between the palms of

his hands? Shannity can't utter a word without a pen between his fingers, Pat cannot make a call without his stealth soccer ball. I find it amusing and disturbing.

6. One can excuse the aging grandmother for using those kind of terms...

which were commonly used and accepted in their younger days or the senile and cantankerous great grandfather...

But you don't put them on tv as a pundit to spew this kind of thing. Buchanan interjects these kind of race-tinged comments frequently, yet he seems to get by with it, because he isn't normally a "frothing at the mouth," insane RW fire-breather. I don't think he should.

[LiberalLoner]

9. I agree. It's time for all of us to stand up against this. n/t

[PCIntern]

8. Nazified motherfocker...

the WORST!

I can see him in 'Judgement at Nuremberg' sitting in the defense box and spencer Tracy intoning:

"...Death by Hanging"

[DainBramaged]

He is a Fascist Racist scumbag he meant PLENTY by it

Pat Buchanan apologists, now I've seen everything on DU.

[Tony_FLADEM]

12. I'm not a Pat Buchanan apologist. I haven't seen the clip

I just know I've heard Pat Buchanan say "your boy" multiple times even in reference to white people.

[LiberalLoner]

13. A one-time slip-up followed by a sincere apology would be one thing - this is entirely different,

just trust us.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

18. Then you really need to view the clip.

Seriously.

The sam thought ran through my mind before viewing the clip.

He even emphasizes "boy" - almost like a stereo typical southern sheriff.

[DainBramaged]

20. He is a Fascist Racist scumbag and should be fucking fired

[patrice]

10. Dog whistling. + Plausible Deniability.

[asjr]

14. Pat Buchanan has always been this way.

I'm sorry MSNBC hired him, but maybe they are just doing something for charity. Maybe Pat's books are not selling. I believe in charity cases but this time Pat has really gone too far. He has made a real ass of himself and he didn't have far to go.

[liberal N proud]

15. He thought about!

[Poll_Blind]

16. It's true, he uses that phrase all the time. Used to refer to Clinton as "your boy" while...

...talking to Carville, too. And just about everyone else.

[deminks]

17. Uncle Pat did think before saying that. That is exactly what he meant to say.

That is a known known.

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. He should probably think about why he is racist.

[Zenlitened]

21. Pat Buchanan is gutter garbage. It's perfectly plausible he said this deliberately, IMO. - n/t
