PAT JOINS BUSH WHACKERS (Buchanan)
New York Post ^ | 6/17/04 | SARA NELSON

Posted on 06/17/2004 1:23:20 AM PDT by kattracks

June 17, 2004 -- JOINING the ranks of Bush-bashing books is one from a most unlikely source. The Thomas Dunne imprint of St. Martin's Press has agreed to pay around $500,000 to Pat Buchanan for an anti-Dubya book to be called "Where the Right Went Wrong."

The proto-conservative will blast the Bush Administration for behaviors both domestic and foreign. He is particularly scornful of the U.S. foreign policy that has "ignited a war of civilizations" with the Islamic world.

Publishing insiders say Buchanan's thoughts on the 43rd president are surprisingly out of character.

"They could put Michael Moore on the jacket of this book, and people would believe he wrote it," one said.

Check your history. It was PB who pushed like crazy for the wreath-laying, even in the face of severe bad press for his President. Sorry, that is NOT something you do, even IF a foreign government "insists" on it. Since it was the Germans, though, Pat probably couldn't help himself.

As far as the '92 election goes, Pat was instrumental in convincing the American electorate that Republicans were dangerous nutcases by his maniac speech, and his statements. Besides, what kind of abysmal fool runs a campaign of "culture war" when the electorate is primarily concerned with the economy, as it was then?

He wasn't 100% responsible, Ross Perot gets the lion's share of the "spoiler" award, but Pat sure helped drive some votes away!

Oh, and your "corner"...you mean "AMEN" corner, don't you?

You probably have no idea of why that's so ignorant, either.

I bet you(Long Cut) wouldn't repeat that "joke" to his face.

IMO, reply #61 is not a joke, but the truth.

Oh BTW, what do you mean as "face", Pat's bust of himself in his house or when pat is basically doing a monica towards bill press on MSNBC.

I thought Mike Deaver was responsible for Bitburg.

But we shouldn't be too rough on Pat. He lost a couple of relatives in the Holocaust. One poor fella fell from a guard tower...

ROTFLMAO

You are ignorant on this account. Bitburg was Michael Deaver's deal. When the planning on Bitburg was initiated, Buchanan was not yet in the Reagan Administration but only a talking head for Father McLaughlin. Deaver was Ronald Reagan's master planner and PR Agent, not Buchanan. Get your facts straight.

Pat wrote the speach extolling the buried SS troops as ...victims just as surely as the victims in the concentration camps. When the expected uproar ensued, Pat's widely credited with complaining that we must not succumb to the Jewish pressure, reminding Jewish leaders they're "Americans first".

By not honoring the SS I'm not an American? Pat's a buffoon.

When was Fulani ever Buchanan's VP running mate?

In post # 2 you wrote, "Pat Buchanan stopped being a conservative when he started hanging out with that Marxist running mate of his on the Reform Party ticket in 2000."

In your post # 46 you write, "....Buchanan's 2000 VP candidate, Ezola Foster, might be a member of Howard Phillip's Constitution Party."

When was Ezola Foster ever a member of the Communist Party, USA - as you declared in your post # 2?

Must be tough being a Pat supporter, spending all your time explaining that Pat didn't do what he did and didn't say what he said.

All in a day's work for a Supermark. Think any of them have a picture of Pat tattoed on them?

Maybe, next to that swastika?

This should give Bush a 2-4% bump in the polls. Kinda hard for the Democrats to portray Bush as a right wing extremist with Pat around.

What is the 'corner?'

Pat, IMO, was faulting the Congress, et al, as being overly biased against the Palistinians, and orchestrated by Israeli sympatizers, hence mostly Jews, or in his terms, the 'amen corner'.

Incidentally it would probably include the likes of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell who are referred to by the 'amen corner' as the 'fanatical right'.

Go figger

Buchanan has never engaged in Holocaust denial and to say so proves either supreme ignorance or supreme dishonest viciousness. Buchanan did write once, foolishly in my opinion, that the SS in Lithuania didn't use deisel trucks for their mass murders (who really cares what the exact methods were, people were murdered). I've since read Gilbert's Second World War and deisel was initially used until proved too ponderous a killing machine.

Foolish is the word for it. Interestingly, Pat (an engineer in his former life?) came up with the same idea Friedrich P. Berg did in the Journal of Historical Review. I know, "someone sent it to him" (his excuse), he doesn't actually read revisionist journals. Writes about it well, though, no wonder the Spotlight picked up his column, among others.

Sheesh! Like Pat wouldn't be involved in something like Bitburg.

Ah, but that river continues to run through Egypt apace.
