State your prior usernames. You're fooling no one.

I do not know why, with the evidence from his own mouth continuing to convict him, that some FReepers still doubt that Pat Buchanan is a blatant anti-semite.

[xzins]

It was out of bounds. It asks if we're in this for our own security interests or because of an Israeli agenda.

It clearly plants the idea that Jews behind the scenes drive U.S. foreign policy. It is reprehensible.

[mr.pink]

I shouldn't post a word before that second cup of tea.

LOL...I know the feeling.

I'd guess support for his views on immigration and isolation makes it easy for some to avert their eyes from the rest of the package.

Wonder how much the Israelis taking out Saddam's nuclear factory in the 80s was worth

They did us ONE big favor even if it was in their own interest

[LarryM]

There is little doubt that Russert is implying that the Iraq war is a Jewish conspiracy. After all, he quoted a think tank paper from 1996, where there are tens of thousands of think tank papers every year.

[randita]

Israel is our only real friend in the Middle East. We darn well better support them.

How long before the moderators pull this plug on this bigot?

You posted, "I'd guess support for his views on immigration and isolation makes it easy for some to avert their eyes from the rest of the package.

It appears that many of Pat's anti immigration for anyone hawks are willing actors for his words. Whenever, GW tries to expand his base and to appeal to others, we hear the words, "He is abandoning his core!" I think many of us have cracked the code about what "core" really means.

David Frum's rebuttal and charges re Buchanan

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/862987/posts

An Oped by David Frum:

“We charge that a cabal of writers who misuse the title of ‘conservatives’ are rallying to defend an Iraqi dictator who has waged war on American allies, attempted to assassinate an American president, fired on American aircraft, and who is now arming to threaten Americans with mass murder.


“We charge them with making common cause with left-wing radicals and radical Islamists, former communists and other people who hate the United States – all in order to prematurely halt the war on terror and preserve the Iraqi dictator’s rule.


“We charge them with forgetting George Washington’s warning in his Farewell Address against ‘habitual hatred’ for any nation – and instead allowing their unreasoning loathing of the Jewish state to lead them into what Washington condemned as a ‘passionate attachment’ to Baathist Iraq.


“We charge them with disregarding their wartime duty to lay aside their prejudices and resentments for the sake of the common good. We charge them with attempting to undermine a conservative Republican president in a moment of national emergency. We charge them with acting as excuse-makers for America’s enemies. We charge them with failing to put America first.”

Well put.

Rather than searching for anti-Semitism under every rock

Unfortunatly it is getting to the point where you don't have to look real hard to find it.
At one time not to long ago I thought that anti-Semitism in this country was all but dead, sad to say I was wrong.

[taxed2death]

I don't owe Jewish society any debt.

[wideawake]

That is indeed the problem - professors are teaching students to hate Jews on the most influential campuses in America.

That scares me a lot more than Sunday morning smarm.

[taxed2death]

You're confusing Pro-Americanism with Anti-semitism. Jews fail to realize that sometimes what's good for America may not be good for Israel. So be it.

[Valin]

As long as the Sharonites wont settle a peace plan with the Palestinains,
You forgot to close your sarcasm tag. You are being sarcastic aren't you? Please tell me you are.

why he thinks the Oslo accord sucks
How about only one side whats to live in peace?
You're getting dangerously close to the moral equivalency argument, and you really don't want to go there!

America blood will shed for this nonsense there...period.
And just what nonsense would that be?

[Servant of the Nine]

It seems many have forgotten the debt owed to Jewish society by nearly permitting their near extinction.

Nonsense

You may owe them a debt, if you were a European of that generation. I am not and I don't.
I categorically reject the idea that "we" owe any debt to groups for what our ancestors may or may not have done to them.
Amerinds, blacks, Jews, Albigensians, Celts.
I have never done anything to them or had any obligation to stop anyone else from doing anything to them.

This wussie liberal implicit guilt just makes it harder to focus on the real issues.

At the moment the US and Israel have a common interest and a common enemy.
That enemy is radical Islam.

So9

[ZULU]

Two lefties and a rightist wacko proove anti-semitism is alive and well.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Y'know, the more I read this forum and some others, the more I'm convinced that the the only difference between self-described paleocons and Nazis is that the paleocons realize that the public display of Nazi practices and overt admiration of Nazi ideals doesn't play well to the outside world.

[Commie Basher]

The Neville Chamberlains of their time permitted the near extinction of the entire Jewish population in Europe

By that logic, all of us, Jews and gentiles, Americans, Brits, Israelis, Arabs, Chinese, et al, are repsonisble for genocide in Rawanda. How many of us intervened?

In fact, back in the 1980s, the Left argued that if you allow people to die of starvation in a famine, then you murdered them.

By this article's logic (refusing to stop another's act equals doing the act) everyone on the planet is guilty of murder. Including the article's author.
