PLEASE RACHEL - NO MORE BUCHANAN
Rachel

Congratulations on your new show - I love it. We need your voice out there along side Olbermann's

I don't know if you even have control over who appears on your show

But for GOD SAKES - NO MORE BUCHANAN!

We are subjected to that Fascist bastard all over the place. We know his views on everything by now we don't need them rehashed on your show too. Candidly Buchanan's is right up there with our Village Idiot's voice its like nails on the Blackboard and I change the channel. I suffered through it tonight - by never again - I will change the channel if he is on again.

PLEASE! No More Buchanan


Good Luck on the new show.

1. Gotta love the way she just dismissed him
excused him from the set and went to commercial. She's not taking his shit. Lovin' it.

3. Did yu see the look on Pats face at the end of that tirade? I don't think

5. Rachel can more than hold her own against Buchanan
and it was generous of her to bring him on her first show.
I hope she bring him back - and kicks his ass again.

6. Actually, here having Pat on is smart.
It would be silly if she only had on people all the time that prop up a certain view. Pat is allowed to spout off, but he also has to sit there and take it- he can't interrupt and shout down like he can on other shows.

Plus, you know it's got to be killing him he doesn't have his own show.

11. She handles him so well,
and doesn't let him get away with anything.

I think it's great entertainment. Rachel certainly seems to be amused by Buchanan. I say Good For Her!

12. No doubt
it's galling Buchanan that a godless lesbian has her own show while he, a good Christian conservative, has to appear as a guest. Pray for divine guidance to deal with it, Pat.

9. He's the turd in our punch bowl.
It was a great debut for Rachel. She may have felt obligated to thank Buchanan. The confrontations between them in the past few months have been classic and introduced her to a wider audience. But that has been done now. Please Rachel, No More Buchanan!!

15. During Herr Buchanan's segment, I watched Insannity
with Chuck Norris. He has a weird high pitch nasal voice and if he gets another facelift, he won't be

able to blink. I just emailed her show begging them to find another curmudgeon to have on.

16. I think they like each other
In a weird love/hate kind of mutual fascination/revulsion way. She calls him her "fake Uncle", and not without affection.

She's a patriot who holds dear the tenet that open discussion is an essential pillar of democracy - rational debate being one of the truest civic virtues. She doesn't allow dissent to be bogged down in a Crossfire-style shoutfest, and neither is her method too coy or sardonic, a la Stewart (whom I enjoy greatly, but we cannot live by jesters alone). She can confront without affront.

I just emailed her to wish her well. Having her and Keith back-to-back is a treat!

17. Loook - Nazi Bastard get's ton of air time - Rachel needs to
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 09:50 PM by Phred42
find fresh new faces and new opinions and perspectives

We can hear Nazi Bastard's crap rehashed on at least 4 other shows. Why the hell do we need it here?

No thanks - I tune out when Nazi Bastard

18. I can appreciate your attitude, but you've got to think more
We here know that Buchanan is an ass that believes things that defy reality. Most of the people in this country don't have the time, energy, or interest to find out what this tool stands for. Rachel goes against Buchanan to show what an idiot he is, and she does a pretty good job.

It might be painful to watch, but think of all those less informed people that might realize they've been sold a bag of shit. I listen to Thom Hartmann and he regularly has these right-wing tools on. I might not be able to listen to it on a regular basis, but I understand the concept. Let these fools say what they really think and they'll say why they should not be supported.

The people that need to see Nazi Bastard get smacked down Are NOT watching Rachels show. And never will.

21. Rachel Owes Her Career To Pat
In a weird kind of way. It was his declaration of jihad against gays (and other demons) at the '92 Repug Convention that woke Rachel up to politics. So, maybe she was just trying to thank him for all that he's done for her?

Weirder things have happened.

25. I think Rachel feels like Pat is her weird old uncle
She seems more amused by him then anything else. She is not afraid of his blowhard idiotic tendencies so we should not either.

26. Does Buchanan just loiter around the studio all day?
so when a guest cancels or they can't get a satellite feed up, they tap Pat. He'll stick around as long as they have plenty of those little sandwiches in the Green Room.

27. Wait... every time Rachel exposes fake uncle's wing-nut mentality...
... an Angel gets a new set of wings... O8)

I'd want every opportunity to expose fake Uncle Pat. There
is value added to each encounter. With every opportunity to hand a person (sic) his racist, homophobic hat, you expose the agenda of the Republican party.

As we like to say when we toot our horn, "the world is watching".
