I'm embarassed that I voted for him.

For it has been Israel's behavior, and uncritical U.S. support for that behavior, that produced this victory for Hamas.

See its so simple, its all our fault. He sounds like Cindy. I have an idea Pat, how about we hold the Palestinians responsible for once.

I apologize to the world for having voted for him once in a primary.

It's easy to just dismiss Pat as an anti-Semite, but I think his problem is that he's more of a Arabophile and a hard core so-called "realist," and it blinds him to the realities of the Middle East today.

It seems like his Middle East policy views are stuck in 1971.

If the populist, protect borders, protect manufacturing job, etc. movement wants to gain any traction, they need to dump Jihad Pat.

I've never liked him myself. Hasn't he claimed for years that the holocaust never happened?

[Mr. Mojo]

Pat's hatred for Israel/Jews has all but completely rotted his brain and now dominates whatever thought process he can muster.

Pat actually makes sense most of the time, and is even, on occasion, brilliant when he sticks to domestic political issues and some of that inside the Beltway type stuff.

He's like my cat after a dose of catnip on foreign policy. Wild-eyed, and running into the walls.

Insanity overload in this article...

We supported a democratic election. The people spoke and elected Hamas. Our support of an election on democratic principles should not be linked to foreign aid whether we support the winning entity or not.

Hamas is a purveyor of terror. It is in it's charter. It deserves NO funding from the United States.

The United States fosters democracy around the world through elections and a peaceful transfer of power. Buchanan is wrong on this.

Pat is nuts.

This is about the time I lost it for Pat. He is not disciplined enough to have the temperment for leadership.

[Penner]

Neoconservatives see the world as they wish it to be, not as it is. Like teenagers, they act on impulse and rail against the counsel of experience. "Often clever, never wise," Russell Kirk said of the breed.

Three years later, we are trying to extricate a U.S. army from Iraq with the least possible damage to U.S. security interests.

Again, he and Condi were warned that if these people were allowed to vote their convictions, they might just vote to throw us out and throw the Israelis into the sea.

Now that elections have been held, what do the returns show?

Propelled into or toward power have been Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran, pro-Iranian Shiite zealots in Iraq, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and Hamas in Gaza and on the West Bank.

Bush has unleashed a revolution in the Middle East, and it is everywhere bringing to power Islamic fundamentalists. Either we deal with them, or fight them or get out of the Middle East.

It was hilarious to watch him stumble and bumble about "democracies" in the aftermath of the election.

As always, Pat gets it right.

Go Pat Go!

Isn't this loon committed yet?

What a hideous bigot.

If we and the Europeans cut off aid, and Israel refuses to remit to the Palestinians the taxes they collect, the Palestinians will be put through hell for voting the wrong way.

Pat, since when do we owe anybody foreign aid?

Cordially,

[Springman]

Sometimes I think Imus is right, Pat had a uncle die in a concentration camp.

He fell out of a gun tower.

The Arabs will call us hypocrites who believe in elections only if they produce the results we demand.

Buchanan is precisely correct in this. And once again, he demonstrates his ability to become lost in the forest because all he sees are trees. This quote would be devastatingly accurate if it had been applied as a criticism of the idiotic Bush Doctrine in general. Unfortunately, he uses it as a justification for his anti-Israel stance and the unthinkable act of using American taxpayers' money to fund a degenerate and despicable terrorist entity.
