Churchill, Hitler and Newt

Pittsburgh Live ^ | February 20, 2006 | Patrick J. Buchanan

[Mike Darancette]

As I said in this post's last incarnation where you have a Churchill and a Hitler you probably also have a Chamberlain and a Quisling. One responder also mentioned Lindberg.

Which role does Buchanan play?

[bereanway]

About the only part of the article I can agree with concerns the lunacy of bombing the Serbs.

No question Iran doesn't have the wherewithal of Nazi Germany, but warfare has also changed dramatically since that time with the rise of terrorism and advent of nukes. Iran is certainly a destabilizing and dangerous factor in a very important part of the world and Ahmadinejad has visions which aren't that much different from Hitler's in many respects.

I'm not a big Buchanan fan ... but just once I'd like to read one of his articles followed by intelligent refutation of his arguments rather than a hundred "Pat is an idiot" posts.

[Oliver Optic]

Like bereanway's #22 ... thanks.

[popdonnelly]

This man truly doesn't know anything. Churchill was way ahead of Buchanan in intelligence and judgment.

I like the line from another Freeper: "Pat's uncle died in a concentration camp. Fell right out of his tower."

[Courdeleon02]

The war drums are usually pounded by those who are the arm chair generals and those who never served in the military and never faced the bullets flying.

I find Iranians just a *bit* less for each of these categories.

Have you seen the Muslim rave video?

[farlander]

No, actually I have not. Do they behead one of the rave attendees ? Or do they all just sit around mumbling in two separete (male/female) rooms ?

That might not be possible as Pat has no spiritual grounding nor political grounding.

Pat somehow thinks he is the smartest person in the world and everyone else is stupid.

He is only interested in hearing Pat talk.

Of course Pat is a great admirer of Hilter who Pat refers to as "an individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier in the Great War, a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe..."

[The Great RJ]

Comments like this will soon be forgotten when Iran tests its bomb. There is no value in letting outsiders speculate about whether or not you have the bomb, the Iranians would be far better off demonstrating it to the world. By showing they already have a sophisticated and deliverable nuclear device, options for invasion or preemptive strikes vanish least they set off a nuclear war. The Democrats will of course blame Bush for not doing anything and letting this happen, but will hamstring him from doing anything about the bomb militarily. The weak kneed in Israel will also prevent the IDF from doing anything least the Iranians lob a bomb on Tel Aviv. Muslim fanatics will rejoice at the prospect of nuclear weapons in their jihad against the west and Israel and Iran will assume a position of preeminence in the Muslim world. They have everything to gain by going all out to complete their bomb while the west wrings its collective hands and the UN thinks about meaningless sanctions.

Is there another URL link to Buchanan's article in the original German?

Of course Pat is a great admirer of Hilter who Pat refers to as "...a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe..."

That sounds like demon possession. No doubt in my mind.

[Natural Law]

Poor, poor Pat. He is trying to stake out some exclusive political territory to differentiate himself from the pack. Too bad he chose some swamp land on the lunatic fringe.

[StAnDeliver]

"those who never served in the military and never faced the bullets flying."

That includes Pitty Pat.

[StAnDeliver]

I admire how Pat invoked Godwin's Law and autoflamed himself before half the article was over...

[elhombrelibre]

Hitler should have been finished in 1923 when he led a failed uprising in Munich. You're 100% correct. The lesson of Hitler, a lesson the dolt Pat Buchanan is incapable of learning, is that we don't wait until the fate of civilization hangs in the balance. We don't put ourselves at the mercy of lunatics with nuclear weapons. The Iranian mullahs and the Syrian dictator Assad are currently funding and supporting those who kill Americans in Iraq. We've let them get away with that. Now, Pat wants to let them get away with getting a nuke too? For God's sake, Buchanan grow up. You can't hate Israel that much, Buchanan, can you?

Does Godwins law apply to Buchanan's critics? Or Newt?
