NEW YORK (AP) -- Pat Buchanan said that he didn't mean to slur President Barack Obama by referring to him as "your boy" during a discussion with Al Sharpton.

The former GOP presidential candidate and current MSNBC analyst appeared on "Morning Joe" Wednesday to explain remarks he made on that network's Sharpton show 12 hours earlier.

Wouldn’t want to hurt his widda feelings.

Give me a friggin’ break.
If they didn’t like that they certainly wouldn’t like what I call him.

Michael Scheuer was on Beck’s TV show this spring and said something about Obama’s “little brown brothers in Libya”.

I was shocked at the lack of an uproar over that.

Ridiculous to pretend it was a slur. Buchanan has been talking about someone’s favorite candidate this way for years and years.

No one stops to explain exactly what action by the president could be considered mature enough to merit him being thought a man?

Obama is America’s “boy” for four years, sadly. Have we ever had a more immature president? I think NOT.

His unmitigated cruelty is what most galls me. He has to know that he causing untold damage and all he does is smile, smirk and party. That’s cold cruelty, maybe even sociopathy. We are prisoners of a monster.

What Buchanan should have said, instead of apologizing: “Grow up!”

I wonder how many times Dubya was called a cowBOY by the leftwingers. It never seemed to bother him. Of course, Dubya wasn’t a thin-skinned girlyman with a massive ego.

“Grow up! Is that what you’re going to do every time you’re asked to defend the indefensible? Pull the race card? It’s because you can’t address the issue. I understand, and will let you bow out of the discussion at this point if you wish.”

“We are prisoners of a monster.”

Speak for yourself, friend. I am not a prisoner of ‘the boy’.

1. Why does Al Sharpton have a talk show?

2. Why does Buchanan demean himself by participating in anything conducted by Sharlatan Sharpton?
