Pat outed himself in that regard long ago. I remember in the early days of Crossfire (in the early 80s) Buchanan consistently criticized Israel for everything under the sun -- the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear plant (in '81), the annihilation of Syria's forces in the Bekaa Valley (in '82), the mistreatment of the poor Palestinians, etc. Back then every "conservative" CNN hired despised Israel -- Rowland Evans, Bob Novak, and Buchanan. It was an employment prerequisite, apparently.
You're right---it's you. Sounds like you've got a pretty delicate set of eyes/ears there . . . which is strange, you being such a big Ann Coulter fan and all.
There is no question that BC has some serious problems with women. The non stop hitting on women, the brutal manner in which he treats them in private. Certainly this is a man with an unhealthy attitude toward women.
I do know of homosexuals that jumped on every female they could before finally coming out. So the notion is not without some tenuous merit.
Bush has been accused of everything short of fornicating with sheep in churches. I find it amusing that Mr. "Can't Keep His Willie in His Pants" should be slurred in this manner. Something poetic about it.
Personally, I am of the opinion that statements such as this by Ann are deliberate and carefully calculated for the effect they will have on the left, rather than simply attention getting ploys.
'92 was the pinnacle of Pat's career, when he delivered the keynote address at the RNC convention -- the "culture war" speech. It's been all downhill since then, and at this point he's a bitter, barely coherent fool. .....blaming everything rotten in the universe on "neocons" (code word for Jews), of course.
Your parents know what they're talking about! And I see that the apple didn't fall far from that tree. :-)
you know, it's kinda funny.
I guess I kinda fall under the whole NEOCON guise, simply due to my age (26 in 2 weeks).
Mainly it's because I'm a NEW conservative, because before about 1998, I didn't give a crap about politics.
Honestly my time on FR has made me less and less passionate about them too, but that's another issue entirely.
hehe...FReepmail :)
Whew! If that came out as a stream-of-consciousness, typed-all-at-once, no editing micro-rant, I am SUPER impressed.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that".
I don't even remember, but thanks. ;O)
hehehehe....answered it. :-)
"IIRC, Brit Hume mentioned last week that George Soros spent $50 million dollars for people to post on the internet. He wondered where all that money went."
Gosh, I listen to Brit every night and didn't hear him mention something important like that.

FOXNews.com - What Iran's President Says About Israel's Offensive Against Hezbollah - Brit Hume | Special Report
Incognito Influence
A shadowy group of liberal millionaires has directed more than $50 million to left-wing groups in the last 9 months, leaving some Washington activists concerned about the group's growing influence. The Washington Post reports that Democracy Alliance - backed by billionaire investor George Soros has given millions to former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta's Center for American Progress, and the Center for Progressive leadership, among others with an eye towards building up Democratic infrastructure.
But nonpartisan watchdogs at the Center for Responsive politics call the group's extreme secrecy about its donors and financial activities, "a huge problem." And some moderate Democrats complain that the organization is pushing the party distinctly to the left claiming that funding for centrist groups has been rejected "purely because of their ideologies."

Democracy Alliance funnels money to Media Matters (and similar groups).
Media Matters (and similar groups) stalk conservatives, especially Coulter. And pay posters to post on forums.
Bwa-hahah!! Good one! {^)
I like Ann Coulter about 80 percent of the time, but she does blow it on occasion. Not like I HAVEN'T!!! The one who I enjoyed hearing a lot at first but who now really strikes me as a blow-hard harpy is Laura Ingraham. She spends way too much time bitching about Republicans, and no matter who she's complaining about, Republican or Democrat, she generally resorts to derision, which is not wit. With conservatives like her, who needs liberals? Ann, at least, is truly witty and hasn't even approached becoming as distateful to me as Ingraham.
I read that; you were saying that Soros himself gave $50 million and it looks like he gave a few million, which is bad enough.
BTW, Ann sometimes ticks me off and I comment on threads, but I'm certainly not paid to stalk her. LOL.
But there's no doubt that FR has seen paid opinion shapers, but in my view, they're pretty easy to spot and I don't think it's terribly helpful for you to call everyone trolls who disagrees with Ann.
It wouldn't be good business practice, for instance, for Soros to pay stalkers but then let them do research and post reports that are supportive of the conservative cause. And some of the posters that you call trolls have provided excellent conservative research and posting comments and their history bears that out.
So I guess my final comment is that not all conservatives agree about all things, and when posters comment they don't like something Ann has said, I do so wish you'd stop calling each and every one of them trolls. I know you've done it with me and I think any freeper looking at my posting history would agree that it's a ridiculous charge.
You should know better than to repeat trash like that...but, then again, maybe you don't.
That's rich...hard for Ann to be as relevant as you. I suppose you've had more than 4 number one non-fiction bestsellers.
