"Big Brown" -- did anyone else hear Pat Buchanan call Obama that earlier?
It was David Gregory's show I think. He was making some metaphor about the two upcoming primaries relating to the Preakness and Derby. Something like "Big Brown" takes the Preakness, and Hillary something something. I was floored.

1. I hate Pat
However after the KY derby there were analogies mentioned on here to that effect by Obama supporters.

Can't really get outraged.

3. Pat Buchanan is a racist embarrassment. They is no way he
should have a position on any news program. His opinion and analysis are worthless.

16. It's VERY telling that he's all over American TV
Edited on Fri May-16-08 10:13 PM by depakid
Neither he nor his ilk would be tolerated in other western nations. Part and parcel to why America is in the sorry shape that it's in.

5. Yes. He said "Big Brown won the Derby but Hillary wins Kentucky." That was
his prediction. Yes-he called Obama "Big Brown," Or at least he equated him to Big Brown who was the winner of the Kentucky Derby.

10. He was talking about the winning HORSE. Not everything is "racist."
It was a complimentary comment, even though Obama's actual pick came in, what...sixth?

14. I know. Along with the usual "cankles" bullshit that was viewed as Oh-so-funny.
Like having to kill a wounded horse is such a fucking hoot, or something.

Mind boggling, the attitudes here. It's like Kos Junior in this particular subforum. And that's not a compliment!
