Reminder: Buchanan was the author of Nixon's Southern Strategy.

Why is anyone shocked that he spouts hatred? Rachel Maddow was absolutely on target to point out how dated his thinking is. He his firmly rooted in not just the early 20th century, but his mindset harkens back to the 19th. The message the people he speaks to should be that either you move forward with the nation or you will get left behind because of this type of belief system. Bigotry has no place in the future we aspire to for future generations. Let us keep moving the goalposts. Force them to follow. Shut their mouthpieces down, including Pat Buchanan and Lou Dobbs. CNN & MSNBC both should be taken to task for this. Hate speech is illegal and inciting hatred is too. Perhaps we should be registering complaints with the FCC now. Masking hate speech as political dialogue is not the answer.

1. It's not so much that he spouts racist views as that he has a national TV platform to spout them.

On a regular basis.

Anyone familiar with Pat's history and his role in the Nixon administration and GOP politics should not be surprised at all that he's a racist.
