Mr Trump branded
Mr Buchanan a "Hitler-lover", referring to a book in which Mr Buchanan said Britain and France should not have gone to war with Nazi Germany in 1939, and that the US should not have entered the fight even after Hitler invaded France. In December of 1991, William F. Buckley had a cover story in the National Review where he investigated the charges that Buchanan was antisemitic. WFB said he wasn't ready to call Buchanan an antisemite, but he also said he couldn't defend Buchanan from the charge.
On Nazis, Buchanan's own words:
1990: "The problem is: Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody."
- NY Post, March 17, 1990 (from a column about the trial of accused Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk)
1990: "Whatever Rudolph did during World War II, his quarter century of service to the United States entitles the old man to a public hearing before he goes to his grave."
- NY Post, July 14, 1990, on Arthur Rudolph, Nazi rocket scientist investigated by OSI who aided the American space program
1983: "Perhaps this endless search for Nazi war criminals, these endless re-enactments, on stage and screen, of Hitler’s concentration camps are good for the soul. To what end, however, all this wallowing in the atrocities of a dead regime when there is scarcely a peep of protest over the prison camps, the labor camps, the concentration camps operating now in China and Siberia, in Cuba and Vietnam."
- Washington Times, August 24, 1983
1977: "Those of us in childhood during the war years were introduced to Hitler only as a caricature…Though Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide, he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier’s soldier in the Great War, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him. But Hitler’s success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path."
- St. Louis Globe – Democrat, Aug 25, 1977
Has Pat Buchanan ever defended ANYONE who wasn't an accused antisemite or Nazi?
Buchanan was weaned on antisemitism. His father was an
America First nazi sympathizer.
Shame on conservative radio hosts and magazines who still give Buchanan a minute or an inch of attention.
I admire Pat Buchanon always have and always will. However, I disagree strongly with Pat's opinion on this issue. He has been far more of an isolationist than most of the conswervatives I have known.
The U.S. has supported Israel for a long time. Therefore, the Islamofacists see us as an enemy and part of this war whether we like it or not. There is nothing we can do to change that reality but to fight and win.
today.
