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.

Your right. Buchanan has exposed himself as some kiind of bizzare populist anti-Semite who has tenuous connectionms with mainstream conservatism.
I doubt if anyone will take him or his book seriously.
Take a hard look at Duke's portfolio of winning issues, and expropriate those not in conflict with GOP principles…discrimination against white folks…urban underclass [crime]…vacuum left when conservative Republicans in the Reagan years were intimidated into shucking off winning social issues…The GOP is throwing away a winning hand, and David Duke is only the first fellow to pick up the discards
On the Democrat and moderate side they are, IMO, totally corrupt. Alan Specter is a good bad example, John McCain isn't far behind.
We are not 'Catholic Bashers'.
Nazi bashers? Yes.
Catholic... no.
Pat admired the 'little general'.
... nuff said.
"Pat Buchanan led the parade to prevent Bush 41 from getting reelected, and IMO is the reason we got Clinton."
See, if Pat saw you chatting up a pretty girl at a party, or if you were just hanging out looking better than he(which was not difficult), Pat, after a few drinks, would sneak up and sucker-punch your lights out. Famous for it.
Actually did the same thing to a VA cop who was trying to write him a ticket for speeding. And got away with it!
So the Bushies shouldn't be at all surprised by this behavior. Pat should have been born Japanese: sneak attacks on unsuspecting targets!
Buchanan always was a nitwit. He calls himself a real conservative, yet he's anything but. He finds more in common with liberal Democrats than he does with Republicans, on issues like free-trade and having a pro-active security policy.
And someone needs to inform this goosestepper that the "war of civilizations" was begun not by the US, but when Muslims flew planes into our buildings. But I guess Pat has become part of the "blame America first" crowd. Then again, we know why Pat finds such sympathy for Muslims and particularly Saddam's Iraq...they're good old-fashioned Jew haters like he is. Go back under your rock you freaking cockroach.
He took on a registered communist veep running mate.
That's extraordinary. Do you have a source?
The Germans insisted on it and Reagan thought it was the right thing to do. Something about SS troopers being buried there as I remember. Is there a cementary in Germany without SS troopers being buried there?
So, according to your logic, Pat was responsible for the tax cut.
You DO remember that he also did all he could to toss the 1992 election to Slick
Not true. After the convention Pat bowed out. Geo lost it all by himself. Dole lost his by himself. W damned near lost his, in what should have been a landslide.
The GOP was highjacked by the 'corner' and many 'conservatives' wouldn't be part of it. The 'right' was and is being bashed out of the party. I don't know, but I hope W makes it again this time around despite his micky mousing around with the liberals.
What is the 'corner?'
Then why did he engage in Holocaust-denial in 1990?
Although Fulani wasn't Buchanan's running mate, Buchanan did welcome her endorsement and appeared on Sunday talk shows with her. Buchanan also said during that period that he wanted to meet Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan and Fulani was going to try to arrange these meetings.
About as unlikely as Michael Moore!! Go Pat stopped being a Conservative when he became anti-Free Trade! Found there is a great cottage industry for people who get 1% of the vote by bashing Republicans! Get Lost Pat Get Lost!
Pray for W and Our Shining City
And of course, to you, pat buchanan, could never ever be dishonest.
Actually, Ireland is the most economically free country of Europe.
