Pat Buchannan SHOULD BE FIRED

we need to contact NBC and get that racist bastard off the air...

:P

I turned the TV off when he said that, so if he said something after that, I missed it.

:P

Geraldine Ferraro?

He wouldn't be where he is today if he weren't black. He's actually only half black, but he'd prefer we forget about that minor detail. Remember the embarrassment he referred to as his "white grandmother?" But the 90+% of the black vote that he's getting has made the difference for him in this primary season. Obama supporters deny this even though it's as certain as sunrise. Not only is Obama getting more than 90% of the vote, but the number of blacks voting in this primary has risen dramatically compared to past primaries. Now, we can pretend that it has nothing to do with the color of Obama's skin, but don't you think we've seen enough pretending from Bush and his supporters? Let's deal with the truth, please. Beyond that, he's a rather typical politician telling us what we want to hear in order to further his personal ambitions. If he was white, Hillary would be the nominee. I wouldn't be so thrilled about that either.

I have met Barack and he has never made light of his white or black heritage. He speaks very loving of his grandparents and the sacrifices they made for him. They loved him and probably spoiled him as only grandparents can. He is very comfortable with older white's because he probably identifies them with those that raised him. He feels very comfortable with AA supporters because they are who he identifies with due to his skin color and life experiences. Children of mixed heritages are much more accepting of those different than them than evidently you are. They live caught between two worlds and have to come to an understanding of their own of who they are. As far as his "embarrassment" over his grandmother, it was not of her but of a racist statement she said. Anyway, children are embarrassed regularly by their parents and grandparents, and they are not all saying racist things. I was embarrassed by mine and my children are embarrassed by theirs. It is a part of life.

then proceed to explain how they know that person's inner-most thoughts and feelings, it reminds me of when Bush claims to have looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul. We often see what we want to see in people, but that doesn't make it true. I heard what Obama, himself, said about his white grandmother. Frankly, it bothers me that he even refers to her as his "white" grandmother. Why isn't she just his grandmother? But he equated her anxiety she sometimes felt when walking alone on the street and a black male approaches her to Rev. Wright's rants in his church. He denounced Rev. Wright, so should I extrapolate and conclude that he denounces his grandmother as well? I've always worked very hard at being a free thinker and remaining objective in my observations, but the downside to that is that you end up expressing yourself in ways that tend to get a lot of people upset. People just don't like reality very much. It tends to be messy and uncomfortable.

I also raised multi-racial children and have personal experince in their identity formation. I did not form my opinion by looking into his eyes, and I never saw his soul. I formed it by my own knowledge and by talking with him. As for him calling her his "white grandmother", he is only leting others know that she does not look like him. Do not judge others so harshly, some of us are very comfortable talking about our family members who are different from us. My children are identified as Latinos, their one family is white and their other is Dominican. So they have a white mother, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins; and they also have a Dominican father, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They sometimes clarify them as such when they talk to others. It is just the way it is. He did not equate his grandmother with Wright, I heard the speech. He was saying that although she had felt this, and said some things that may have bothered him, he still loved her and accepted her. He was trying to explain that many people have prejudices and sometimes we just have to look over them and go on with our lives and our relationships with these people. I cannot even begin to say all the things my children have had to ignore to maintain family relationships.

hillary and her supporters match so well.

I mean, Bubba Clinton came out of nowhere to win due to his charisma and our need for a change. He was white.

JFK came in with his rhetorical abilities and good looks and also won in a time when people wanted hope and possibility.

Don't you diminish the greatness of Obama's qualities by saying "oh because he's black".

That is buying into the stupid canard people use all the time.

If Clinton wasn't wife of Bill....she wouldn't have made it past NH. Suck on it.

"And they voted for Hillary in WV because she's one of US!".

that he was actually having a tantrum and yelling? Can't wait to see the meltdown!

:rofl:

and as a side note....
May 14, 1961 - As the civil rights movement grew in the southern United States, racists attacked a “Freedom Ride” bus near Anniston, Alabama. The white mob shot out the tires and threw smoke bombs into the vehicle. The trapped occupants were attacked with sticks and many people were injured by flying glass. Doctors at the local hospital refused to treat the wounded.

And I'm white, female and in my 30's. So how the hell is Obama more "like me" than Hillary?

What a fool Buchanan is.

I caucus'd for Obama. I may as well say that I am black, because I believe Obama is ONE OF US!!! And btw....F'you Pat!

Buchanan really is nauseating.

i'm not fucking joking.

for being color blind. We should follow.

Buchanan is a racist A**h**** and should be ignored but fired.

Why does he still appear on the air?

type person that needs to be shut down...and also fired. I usually don't watch Hardball because of him, but tonight was too important. Damn him anyway. What a slug...

He refused to answer the question. He asked this THREE TIMES! He is history. F**ked up imo.

And remove the entertainment value on Hardball?

No, seriously, it is good to hear what people like Buchanan think -- I don't want to hear just one point of view.

And, as misguided as he is, I do think Buchanan is honest and sincere in expressing what he believes.

Pat's just not very introspective, is he? :rofl:

and moving on, completely discounting what he has to say.

I can understand the value of having a conservative voice, but I've had enough of his.

David

racist and what's his name, imus, got fired for shit like this.

but he is an embarassment.

Tonight he was over the top.

Where is the email address!

E-mail to: viewerservices@msnbc.com

he will go away....

As snow steadily buries everything familiar, terror arrives in the form of an evil stranger. As the streets disappear and an eerie darkness envelops the town, a series of bizarre murders creates a nightmare of fear. With no help coming from the outside world and no end to the storm in sight, the townspeople are forced to take drastic action before it's too late.

The evil stranger arrives in town, kills an old woman with his cane and allows himself to be taken into custody -- and knows everyone by name -- and knows their secrets, which he lets spill in front of everyone else.

I still shudder of the thought of that kid and the evil one walking down the street together at the end. I liked the book better, but that one scene completely creeped me out!!!

Pat B. is WORSE

Fuck Pat buchannan.

I can't stand him and his blatant racism! I believe there are a ton of good, intelligent (if wrong) conservatives out there. There's no reason to perpetuate this racist slimebag.

Dump his ass!

David

:evilgrin:

it's not funny.

Andrea and Chris tried to tone him down. They seemed embarrassed. I hope he gets fired.

The GOP desperately wants Hillary as the Democratic nominee. Fox today didn't even carry the Edwards-Obama rally. What does that tell you?

I would tend to agree.

:dilemma:

I knew right then and there we had won. I knew America would not choose sides with the party of bigots. That speech was UNBELIEVABLE.

:puke: :puke: :puke:

I cannot even imagine the horror of a world entirely made up of Pat Buchanan clones.

....you'll never get the stink off that vase.

;)

has no place in this 21st century America or anytime for that matter.

But geez...

This week is our second quarter 2008 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Whatever you do, do not click the link below!

Always has been, but now that he's faced with a black candidate who seems to be headed for the Presidency, Buchanan is totally off the fuckin' reservation.

One of the most enjoyable moments in last week's political coverage was watching "Morning Joe" when Peggy Noonan, of all people, took Buchanan, her former boss, to the woodshed on live television. It was awesome.

It is far past the time when someone should put a leash on this guy and drag him off the air before he says something truly, awfully horrific. That moment is coming, my friends. He can't hold it in much longer.

With Pat you get a twofer. Comedy AND insanity.

Pat, and Joe to show their true feelings about the people of our country.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVeFyV0iLrk
I called MSNBC (212) 664-4444
and sent this along to Hardball so they could reminisce about the good old days.

getting mighty brown these days in dreaded realization that a colored man might be president.

GOOD LORD, people,it's worth having Obama for president if for nothing else the look on Buchanan's face that night.

My winger brother is convinced GHWB would have beaten Clinton in 92 but for Pat's RNC speech. Buchanan is a gift that keeps on giving to us.

If anyone should be fired is that idiot Tweety and his tingling leg.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVeFyV0iLrk

I think it is so refreshing when people own up to what their true feelings about the people of our country.

Against asinine Tweety, yes I agree with Pat on certain things.

Along with nearly 40% of white NC Democrats.

It is comments like Buchanan's (among many others) that reminds me, forcefully, that as far as we have come in my lifetime in terms of race relations, we still have a generation that needs to die before we can really shake this shit off our shoes.

Goodbye and no tears shed, Mr. Buchanan!

Edit: Sorry, infinitive omitted erroneously. Yeah, I know, I guess that I noticed that makes me "elite!" :)

It's amazing what floats to the surface when you stir up the pot. People who harbor latent racism generally expose themselves when given an opening to do so.

Those were some strong arguments from Pat, but nothing that solicits termination.

One can always change the channel.

Does the KKK have a 'strong argument'? Today in history...something we can all look back on fondly....

Would you change the channel if you saw that?

wouldn't that be lowering the bar big time for losing your job.

I watch MSNBC often and I think Pat adds some zest to their coverage.

Perfect example, right after that atrocious ABC debate, it was Pat who first pointed out on Olbermann's show that Hillary intended to increase America's protectionist role in the Middle East. So definitely on foreign policy, Buchanan makes alot of sense.

To make him out to be Michael Richards from today's segment is unfair, imo.

at what stage in his career would you have drawn the line?

He should never EVER have been hired to begin with.

On Race:








On Jews:








On Women:







...and I can't even bring myself to post the ones on homosexuality. There's a bunch more here, read in horror:
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2553

However, one of the following must be true:

NBC, General Electric, Countdown, Hardball all countenance these aforementioned sentiments by giving Buchanan passageway on their network.

Pencils have erasers, to borrow a phrase from The Simpsons.

(It'll be interesting to see how this plays out nonetheless.)

To what?

Love it!

had the "right" to do what he did?

Pat is another one..

It doesn't work that way.

the past couple of days. His voice has been getting higher and louder in his frenzy; I had to mute the sound.
He must really hate the fact that our lily white democracy could soon be sullied by one such as Barack Obama.

I noticed his absence from Verdict with Dan Abrams today, where he's usually one of the bobbleheads.

I'm wondering if they pulled him.

it became a media whore once wrote a column there about ole Pat.

Seems Pat and his bully brothers regularly delighted in playing -- and bragging about -- awful (non-childish) pranks on their Black maid and equally regularly tormented the Jewish kids who walked past their house to the nearby Jewish academy.

Pat is a bastard whose racism runs deep and long!

I saw that this afternoon and wanted to crawl through the screen and strangle that racist fucktard.

Ive never been able to tolerate him, but I recently followed a link to these comments he made, and ever since then, my level of hatred for him has increased a hundred fold.


In his own words:

http://buchanan.org/blog/?p=969


How would he justify not walking out as Wright spewed his venom about “the U.S. of K.K.K. America,” and howled, “God damn America!”

My hunch was right. Barack would turn the tables.

Yes, Barack agreed, Wright’s statements were “controversial,” and “divisive,” and “racially charged,” reflecting a “distorted view of America.”

But we must understand the man in full and the black experience out of which the Rev. Wright came: 350 years of slavery and segregation.

Barack then listed black grievances and informed us what white America must do to close the racial divide and heal the country.

The “white community,” said Barack, must start “acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination — and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past — are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds … .”

And what deeds must we perform to heal ourselves and our country?

The “white community” must invest more money in black schools and communities, enforce civil rights laws, ensure fairness in the criminal justice system and provide this generation of blacks with “ladders of opportunity” that were “unavailable” to Barack’s and the Rev. Wright’s generations.

What is wrong with Barack’s prognosis and Barack’s cure?

Only this. It is the same old con, the same old shakedown that black hustlers have been running since the Kerner Commission blamed the riots in Harlem, Watts, Newark, Detroit and a hundred other cities on, as Nixon put it, “everybody but the rioters themselves.”


What a fucking waste of oxygen.

-chef-

by being his bigoted self.

They probably get a bump when angry folks tell their friends to turn to the station...

a Boycott of that time slot is in order.

They don't care.

Neither does NBC or MSNBC or their sponsors.
