A favorite antic of the hate-Bush crowd appears to be "I am a former conservative", since they realized how powerful Zell Miller and some other former Democrats' message have become.
Regarding Buchanan and his fellow Jew-haters, we have one on the radio here in Baltimore who appears to be conservative except for his support for Sadaam and opposition to Israel. He brings Buchanan on his radio show whenever possible to help him bash-Bush and especially Rumsfeld.
They may pose as paleo-ostriches but they are going to be the only "liberal" talk radio for the foreseeable future. What a waste of bandwidth!
Paleos=Antisemitic peace creeps with stock portfolios to protect and who wish the GOP and conservative movements to exclude all whose ancestry here is less than two hundred years.
Paul Craig Roberts must be one of about three of the paleos who could get credentialled in the Reagan administration. The rest were too socially eccentric or too closely resembled the look of a vintage Trotskite (before he was purged) to be ready for prime time.
Reagan knew better than to associate with the paleos generally. In 1986, they figured it out and have been hydrochloric or sulphuric toward conservatism ever since.
Antisemitism is not the only problem. One of their columnists, Sam Francis, was fired by the Washington Times when he spoke to a convention of neo-Nazis but them he was hired to edit the newspaper of the "Conservative" Citizens' Councils, as that group has been known since moving from Mississippi to Missouri and changing the name from White Citizens' Councils (the blow-dried Klan).
