Pat Buchanan: "Barack Obama Is A Drug Dealer Of Welfare" (VIDEO)

September 18, 2012

"Barack Obama, in my judgment, is a Fabian socialist," conservative commentator and author Patrick J. Buchanan said on tonight's broadcast of "On the Record" on the FOX News Channel. "You saw the redistribution, and by that I mean he's not Bernie Sanders who is out in the open and honest about it, but he's a Fabian socialist who wants to move through gradualism and reform step by step until a majority of Americans are dependent upon government. When that happens the party of government wins every election."

"One in every five people are on food stamps," Buchanan said. "This is just it. The whole idea, we used to have [unintelligible] FDR talking about relief being a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit. We have to get off this welfare is what he said."

"And in that sense, if it's a narcotic, Barack Obama is a drug dealer of welfare," Buchanan declared. "He wants permanent dependency, in my judgment, of all those folks on the federal -- somehow getting benefits, benefits, benefits and paying no taxes. Now, I think you've got -- Gov. Romney is the complete opposite. We believe in temporary help for anybody that's in trouble. You should have a floor of decency under every family."

"Unemployment should be temporary," Buchanan said. "Unemployment benefits should be. Food stamps should be temporary. What are we doing with 47 million people permanently have to be fed by the government?"

Watching Fox is both sad and funny all at once. Funny because you ask yourself if even they believe the shit they are trying to sell and sad because their viewers are being mislead and are either too stupid or too inflexible to get their news from someplace else.

Gretta was trying again and again to protect Romney. Old crazy pat loved the tape of Romney but she didn't want to dwell on that. For most of her show she tried to convince her viewers there was some "battle of the tapes." with Romney on one side and a 14 year old audio recording of the President (a really non damaging video) on the other. A recording I might add that only Fox News and some right wing websites talked about.

She even asked a panel who had a worse week based on the battle of the tapes and she did all this with a straight face.

Within just 24 hours they are not only defending Romney's comments, but they are saying he is correct and that Obama is responsible for turning America into an entitlement society.

They are trying to re-cast this as a choice between success/capitalism/freedom vs. entitlement/welfare/liberalism on the other.

It may not work, but I don't think they're going to go down without a fight.

John Sununu tries something very similar in this clip from Andrea Mitchell's show tonight:

Thanks to Pat's insane 1992 convention speech, my spouse left the Republican party. Calls himself an independent but has voted Dem ever since. So thanks, pat, you racist piece of shit. Thanks to you, I was able to say yes when my husband proposed! And my marriage has been much happier than it would have without your crazy!
