Did Anybody Else happen To Hear Pat Buchanan This Morning?

[SoFlaJet]

On MSNBC...The VERY weak Mika was filling in for Joe Scars and Matthews and Pat the Mexican hater were on together. He is already depressed that his and his sister Bay's candidate dropped out last week. So he's on there trying to warn us all (good democrat that he is and all) about the dangers of Barack Obama as our nominee, and how John McCain and the republicans will "peel him like a grape"

[countingbluecars]

1. They are really afraid

of running against Obama, aren't they.

[MethuenProgressive]

2. What? The Republicans are going to attack our nominee?

Well DUH, Patty.

[shain from kane]

3. "peel him like a grape" = flay him with a cat'o'nine tails?

[SoFlaJet]

7. yea good point shain

Buchanan will get himself suspended before this is all over too-just watch-I think it would drive him RIGHT over the edge if a mulatto was our nominee

[SoFlaJet]

8. yea good point shain

Buchanan will get himself suspended before this is all over too-just watch-I think it would drive him RIGHT over the edge if a mulatto was our nominee

[SoFlaJet]

9. I'm repeating myself

I'm repeating myself

[shain from kane]

13. Fate of Barack Obama in the hands of the Republicans?

4. Aw shucks. Pat has a track record of backing the best candidates! NOT!

I am surprised he didn't say "crack him like a watermelon", or "peel him like corn on the cob".

[livetohike]

5. Pat is looking terrible today (physically)

I think Obama worries him to death because he is as charismatic as the good saint Reagan. He kept talking about how no one knows what Obama's positions are and I saw Chris Matthews try to get a dig in there about how Reagan started out in 1980.

I think Pat is very worried :-).

[tsuki]

31. I live to see Pat Buchanan worried. nt

[Frustratedlady]

6. Buchanan a Democrat?

I missed that, I guess.

[SoFlaJet]

10. yea well Lady

you would think he is some wise sage as much as MSNBC defers to him-and the guy LOVES to hear himself talk with his karate chops for emphasis

[lies]

11. It's funny

I just had a discussion about how racist the California Raisins were and now Buchanan is comparing him to a grape.

What is it with grapes/raisins and race?

And what the hell does that make Hillary? A Prune? No... pretty sure that was Reagan? What then?

[SoFlaJet]

12. I LOVED those commercials

with the California raisins singing I Heard It Through The Grapevine

[lies]

16. sure

they were cool... like an American fruit based Aardman, but still are all raisins black?

Racist... there, I said it.

[Buzz Clik]

18. White raisins were underrepresented. It was horrible.

14. The Republicans would REALLY

peel Jesus like a grape.

Hanging around with prostitutes and tax collectors? Saying the meek shall inherit the earth?

[SoFlaJet]

17. and he would throw all the James Dobson's

and Pat Robertson's OUT of the Temple-that's at least ONE THING that Mike Huckabee understands how we should heed Jesus' teachings about how we're treating the least of us

[Buzz Clik]

15. Yeah. Translated: Buchanan thinks that Hillary is the nominee that GOP wants to face.

Every rightwing insane pundit will have a field day if Hillary is nominated.

Buchanan is about as subtle as a brick through the windshield.

[Frances]

19. Obama will be attacked just as fiercely as Hillary

It doesn't matter who the Dems nominate, they will be attacked.

[Buzz Clik]

22. I agree, but that's not the point.

The GOP has their political machine currently calibrated for Hillary. They know all the hot button issues with the knuckledraggers and how Hillary sets them off.

Nearly every rightwingnut believes in their heart of hearts that Hillary can be beaten. They are not nearly as certain about Obama.

[Frances]

20. Obama will be attacked just as fiercely as Hillary

It doesn't matter who the Dems nominate, they will be attacked.

[Orsino]

24. Or he's just picking positions at random to fill airtime. n/t

[Buzz Clik]

25. Not at all. Buchanan has been very, very consistent. It's creepy.

I don't trust him (particularly when it comes to supporting Democrats), so I'm assuming he has an unspoken agenda.

[peacetalksforall]

28. Yes, the pubs want Clinton. They are prepared for her (as she is for them),

but Gore, Kucinich, Edwards, Feingold, and Obama - no - they definitely don't want any of them for a variety of reasons.

[Virginia Dare]

21. Pat and Bay have won how many elections?

those two clueless wonders continue to laugh all the way to the bank...:eyes:

[alfredo]

23. Obama, like Hillary are superb debaters.

[VotesForWomen]

26. well seriously, Pat's been more on the dem side lately that some of the repugs that are pushing O.

[stanwyck]

27. His rationale was, get this, that Obama

is all about the emotion but doesn't have any real homework behind his rhetoric. I guess Pat didn't take the time to read Obama's 60+ page blueprint, available at his website. Guess Pat is too lazy to do HIS homework. The spin is in: Obama is too young, too inexperienced, and doesn't have any real plans. Well, good luck with that, Republicans. If that's the best you have, you've already lost.

[apocalypsehow]

29. So, a bigoted right-wing talking head pontificates about one of our candidates

and - surprise, surprise - in the so doing attempts to "warn us" about "the dangers" of that candidate as our nominee. And I should care what this proven asshat has to say.....why? :shrug:

[spanone]

30. pat & bay.....two pieces of work....i take them with a small grain of salt
