I believe Buchannan felt he deserved only a fair trial. As for the dark side I’d just point out his choice of VP on the Reform ticket-some black female communist. Just wanted to keep himself relevant like the rest of them. He’s like Savage and O’riely. Gotta keep them all at arms length.
I supported Buchanan back in 96. Later when he criticized Israel I was disappointed in him. I found that the only person you should have faith in is Jesus Christ.
First is Pat Buchanan dead? Everyone is using past tense.
Pat is/ was an isolationist and that led him to oppose anyone who wanted America to defend Israel. That in turn led him to, at the very least, be unimpressed by any Jewish causes.
And, there definitely was a side of Nixon which resented “liberal NY Jews”and saw them as a political enemy. Until they began to hate Israel, American liberal Jews were a very powerful political block.
I don’t support Pat on this I’m just explaining it.
Regarding WWII, it’s a fact the British mismanaged getting into that war, including declaring war over Poland, which the British could not help. But that’s a strategic issue, Hitler had to be stopped.
