With anti-Zionism equated with pro-Nazism thrown in, for good measure!

1. For bonus points, Mike Barnacle, P. Buchanan, and Joe Scar
scratch their heads about why political opponents have to be 'destroyed' in modern times. Welcome to the payback for 40 years of GOP ratfucking, boys.

4. Not a word about the police brutality in Minnesota.
Interesting. Maybe there is a reason that we Democrats think of right-wingers as being Nazis.

I haven't heard of any instances of Republican demonstrators being arrested for having ordinary objections in their homes and garages.

5. I don't agree with Buchanan's politics...
...but I never heard that he was a "Nazi sympathizer."

What has Buchanan done or said that lead people to believe that he is
a "Nazi sympathizer?"

I'm not sticking up for Buchanan. However, I've never heard this about
Buchanan before, and they did defend Buchanan well--making Wexler and the
Obama spokesperson look as if they were making very inflammatory charges--
with Buchanan and gang making the comments look absurd.

8. Well, to be fair, he did author the book noted above
in which he says it was a mistake for Britain to have gone to war with Hitler over Poland. So there is that.

But Buchanan has a long history of being very extreme in his politics and policy over and above that. which is why the 'Jews for Buchanan' vote in Florida in 2000 was so amusing to everyone, including Pat.

12. I also remember the brouhaha when he said he didn't understand
the controversy of Reagan laying a wreath on SS graves - after all, they were just patriotic Germans doing their duty...

(I'll look for the exact quote)

13. Well, there was that whole defending the guy of being
"Ivan the Terrible," a sadistic, murderous Nazi concentration camp guard by claiming the guy was a different Nazi concentration camp guard.

18. Buchanan a Nazi sympathizer?
"What has Buchanan done or said that lead people to believe that he is
a 'Nazi sympathizer?'"

Here is what he wrote in 1977:

Hitler was an "individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier in the Great War, a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him...Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path."

I don't think he is a sympathizer. He has dissed the man as well.

In 1992 he ran for president on a platform of economic nationalism, immigration reduction, and social conservatism, including opposition to multiculturalism, abortion, and gay rights.

Florida Jews love him!

6. OK, fine, but where was all this righteous indignation when John Kerry's
military service was attacked and demeaned? It's a bit different, but it is much the same.

7. Geee...I wonder when and where this "addiction to lies and innuendo" originated....hmmmm?
Try the worthless piece of shit in the White House and his pet boy, rove. They christened this type of ruthless, disinformation and bull shit lies when rove took over politics for the neocon/fascist party.

I don't like the rumor crap that is going on with Palin and the whole pregnancy thing, but then I don't like the MSM snuffing stories that ARE legitimate either.

Where did "truth" go? We know "justice" is pretty near dead, but did you think that "truth" was still breathing in this country? FORGET YOU!!

Thank you rove and dip-shit in the WH. See what sort of repercussions your deceit and treachery have?

It's disgusting to hear Buchanan and Barnicle rant about how ugly politics has become. DISGUSTING.

10. Watching many of the clips on this post and also on TV, I think Joe
may be cut from the same cloth as McCain - he seems fairly volatile and mean at times and then at other times he seems reasonable. I think he has to force the reasonable part though. He apparently is used to getting his way all the time. I was beginning to like him, but no more.

14. the righteousness of the republinazis
i love have joe scarborough of all people in the world is attempting to call someone out and correct them. as though he personally has held his party up to the highest standards of integrity. further it's no small coincidence he's from FLORIDA where one of the biggest breakdowns in democracy occurred. right after this segment, he buchanan both went backstage and put on their riding boots and armbands and headed out to the rnc floor.

15. Scarborough has some damn nerve..
trying to pretend outrage. Has he ever said anything about the shit that Limbaugh and his rightwing buddies have thrown over the years including himself. They use these tactics and sit on this shows trying to get THEIR rightwing bloggers to act as if they are outraged and usually we hear a Dem come whining back in a few days apologizing. They are now crying trying to make Obama tell us to stop, go to hell scarborough!


We have been listening to this shit for years. Barnicle and Scarborough try to pretend as if they are innocent Obama can say what he wants it will never stop us from thinking or talking these people have been on tv lying for years. The only ones who seem to be worried and terrified are the republicons. They are trying to pretend as though everyone is excited about Palin. Bull! Welcome to the real world we aren't playing your game NOT THIS TIME!

17. The vigor of their defense of him and the condemnation of the accuser
were unwarranted, as I guess most of you already know. Buchanan has said and done many immoral, hateful, pretty nutty things, and should come to his own defense and answer for
the many things he has said against blacks, gays, jews and others.

What kind of people are his colleagues? Incurious, in the dark about Buchanan, or complicit
out of fear, thinking that because the minorities won't speak up, that they shouldn't rock the boat by calling him out or questioning him.

Perhaps a coalition of the above groups should get in touch with MSNBC and demand some
accountability regarding his racism and bigotry.

21. The Obama people didn't really do that did they?
Officially going "Hitler" on someone is never a good thing.
